We Could All Wear Helmets, But That Wouldn't Help If We're ON A Collapsing Bridge

You can use this story as "you never know how fragile life can be" or you can take it as an indictment of America's crumbling infrastructure, but this poor truck driver got hit in the head with a 40 pund concrete chunk that fell from an overpass in New Jersey and pierced his skull. They can't take it out because it's too dangerous. He's suing. But we have bridges literally crumbling and yet nothing's done, and all the talk about spending on infrastructure seems to have morphed into sending the money to the military and building a wall.
