The bridge is an orange-pilled urbanist

Damn. The posted limit on the bridge is 3 tons. The truck empty weighs 4.5 tons and they were hauling a full load of gravel. What an idiot. They better yank the driver's commercial license because he obviously wasn't reading any signs.
I used to live near a few covered bridges, and trucks would always be doing shit like this. They'd either be overweight and cause damage to the bridge (though never this bad) or they'd be too tall and drive off with part of the bridge attached.

I was confused about the title because the first page of search said it meant being a crypto bro.
Only Wiktionary had the appropriate meaning derived from the not just bikes channel

L+ratio bozo stupid.
These cars aren't resembling tanks, but are literally tanks! Their size measures up to being one of a tank, their weight one of a tank, and the damage it fucking causes when it rams into a family of four in a small sedan one of a tank.
Imagine the amount they cost tax payers from road repairs alone, enough to build a functioning fast rail network in California
And the goblin who'd covered up the weight limit sign as the car was on approach said as he was uncovering it: ha! Gorham!
Is this the plot to beetlejuice 2?

Probably thought the weight limit was a suggestion and not a hard constraint. Yikes

The load, the shock, the pressure
Material can bear.
So, when the buckled girder
Lets down the grinding span,
The blame of loss, or murder,
Is laid upon the man.
