They're not ideal but they can fairly knock up a bit of infrastructure.

They should do the A5 with Casement for dessert.

Amazing what your society can do when they're focused on common good rather than attempting to save the entire world. There are serious punishments and penalties for corruption.


The Baltimore bridge in US a good example of the decrepitude made worse by rampant greed and the therapeutic state.

US infrastructure has been ignored for 45 years. China is building everything new. Of course it's superior to US infrastructure.

Coupled by the fact that in China no one or entity is lining it's pockets like they do in an unbridled capitalist system.

It's all about hoarding wealth in the US.

Nobody in China is lining their pockets? Are you for real?!

Breaking: construction projects are cheap when you pay peanuts, skimp on health and safety and make labour unions illegal.

They have their best minds running things, they export their duds*. The best minds in the western world are in hedge funds and other meaningless pursuits. Also benefit watching mistakes westerners made, so there are enormous efficiencies to be achieved.


Obviously corruption/graft is universal.

*Ireland almost precise opposite LMAO

The US is a plutocracy

 Since the wealthiest 10 per cent of the population own 85 per cent of US stocks, they enjoy the largest wealth effect when they go up.The top 10 per cent of earners account for half of consumer spending, the highest share on record since the data begins.

The Irish budget spend (132 billion euro) is now almost double what is was 10 years ago (70 billion euro) and closing in on triple of what the Celtic Tiger budgets cost (~50 million euro).

By comparison the NI budget has increased from £15 billion to £18.6 billion in the same time (2015 to 2025).

Name one thing the f**king useless wankers on the hill have done since 2010. Wankers all taking the folk for a ride, orange v green that's all it is, no policys, no legislation for citizens, nothing just look at that dead cat over there.

[DaleCooper]

People getting absolutely wrecked by inflation. In their defence they'd probably just make things worse.

I've tuned out so much from NI no idea what's happening.

Some people amazingly still watch Nolan.

[Munchie]

NI civil servants and politicians have ZERO accountability and no one cares big bucks to do nothing. Look at lough Neagh, A5, health, education wtf how does no one pull these f**king drifters up on it, they literally are laughing with their family aids all the way to the British pound bank.
