I found the Hoover Dam underwhelming actually

I felt the same way about museum dinosaurs:

Both were MUCH smaller than I’d always imagined.

Anyhow, did you know that the government didn’t actually build the Hoover Dam, contrary to leftist claims?

Never mind that Hoover Dam was in fact built by a consortium of private firms headed by Bechtel-Kaiser, under precisely the sort of outsourcing/private contractor arrangement that Maddow has no time for in most other contexts — in fact, she includes a chapter in one of her books denouncing this practice.
