US citizens: demand fair wages for nurses.

The flaw in the Morandi Bridge in Genoa was brought to the attention of the company responsible 8 years before it collapsed.

Autostrade began discussing what to do about the problem years before 2018. However, such a large maintenance job can't be done with cash on hand. The state needs to authorize the funds.

Is it reasonable to entrust maintenance of bridges to a company owned by a fashion retail business? To me, that seems risky. The executives and board of the parent company would not have learned, in their line of business, the proper values for civil engineering.
