That reminds me of DB, the german railway company, sometimes trying to get bridges demolished and rebuilt from scratch instead of renovation, because if they are rebuilt, the federal government pays for it while a renovation has to be paid by the DB. The funny part is that the federal government owns 100% of the DB shares.
