“Bureaucracy is a construction by which a person is conveniently separated from the consequences of his or her actions.”

— Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Skin in the Game
NOTICE — Entries document real, publicly reported infrastructure projects, sourced from news reports and RTI replies (see each entry for citations). Star ratings, reviews and editorial tone are satirical framing; the underlying facts are not, and are omitted for entries involving loss of life.
