To make my point more clear: It's not condescension that they're unable to find a second backhoe. I 100% believe that the people solving this problem are doing a way better job than my armchair analysis can provide.
What I'm finding interesting about this story is the juxtaposition of how easy it is to understand the problem, but how far from the apparent response the "why don't they just...?" questions are. It seems to be a good recipe for becoming a viral news story ripe for repeated updates.
- chrisseaton 6y ago> It's not condescension You literally called their efforts 'laughable' and asked why aren't they trying obvious things. You're an example of what you're now claiming to have been calling out.
- nate_meurer 6y agoThat's pretty uncharitable. When I saw that little backhoe in front of the building-sized keel, I laughed out loud. But I know it's the best they had at the moment, and I'm sure they have more backhoes on the way. I read the parent comment as that sort of laughable, not in the derisive sense.
