WA State to pay $90,000 to see if we can build a bridge out of aircraft carriers

Representative Jesse Young (R) of Gig Harbor has probably the worst idea ever.  He wants to build a bridge between Bremerton and Port Orchard using retired aircraft carriers.  Small problem... we don't appear to have any spare carriers to use.  But that dose of reality isn't stopping Young, who is requesting a $90,000 study to determine the feasibility of the idea.  Here's what that study will say:

Building a bridge out of giant rotting carriers is a horrible idea and would cost a huge amount of money and it probably wouldn't last very long.  It would probably be cheaper to fill a carrier with brand new Apple Watches.  You could do it.  But that doesn't mean you should do it.

Thank you, please send me my check now.
