Italy approves controversial bridge tying Sicily to mainland


Italy greenlights €13 billion project to build world's largest suspension bridge to Sicily


So Italy is building a bridge to connect the mainland with Sicily. Will be interesting to see it fall apart every time there is an earthquake. They are also defining it as "defence spending", because the military will also use the bridge. This is very typical Italy, to be like: "wait, we need to spend more on defence, well define defence, this bridge is totally defence". I am also going to say there are more pressing things in Calabria and Sicily they need to invest in than a bridge. The roads are shit, the hospitals are falling apart. There is the old saying that southern Italy is a third world country, and unfortunately it's not far from the truth.

There are rumor the bridge will be named the Berlusconi bridge, in that case they are not going far enough, they should just go all the way and name it the Bunga-Bunga bridge. Trump might whine about it if he finds out, but Melons is his type, so he will just fall for her Fascist charm.
