China: 30 story hotel built in 15 days

Except it wasn't.

 

Pekin Duck Season....

 

Trolling, really? Oh great RCJohn, the world's problems can't be solved in 5 word answers, like "wake the fuck up". So as someone who is wide awake, please tell me and the rest of the Beeb braintrust what you mean by "wake the fuck up".

Because I'm wide awake, and awake enough to know that for me to not have to pay $5 for a roll of toilet paper it's going to have to be made in China, along with most everything else we Americans buy.

"Wake the fuck up" isn't a solution to anything. But I will hand it to you, it does make you sound like you know something, espcecially those that can't handle more than 5 words at a time.

 

That's right, it wasn't a skeleton.

 

Nah just means what Mongo and I were talking about. We need to pay attention.

 

Is that the word that bothers you?

Here let me fix it for you before you have to take a handful of blood pressure meds.

Erecting the pieces of a prefabricated building, that took 2 years to build, in 15 days is not that big of an accomplishment.

Does keep the simpletons entertained though.

 

Please read my first post.

Read all the words and see if you can possibly comprehend that I agreed with everything you said EXCEPT the skeleton and the 'months to finish it out' parts.

 

Look..if you are not going to argue with me this isn't going to be nearly as fun.

 

You're ugly and your spawn smells of Dave K!

 

Son of a....

 

i've seen their "workmanship" in buildings when i visited my mom in Teijing, a city in the Tangu province thats designed as TEDA (Teijing Economic District Area). All new buildings, streets, etc etc, all less than 5 years old and FALLING APART!!

They live by the "20 foot rule". As in, good from 20 feet away.

Concrete crumbling and cracking, steel rusting away due to bad protection etc etc.

ya, quantity over quality

 

And how about the cities that they build that no people live in. I saw this on a news report recently. Supposedly it's not the only one like this.

Ghost Cities...

 

"Central planning is essentially insane" The Austrian Economists predicted the eventual crackup of the Soviet Union in the 1940s. Everybody thought they were kooks.
China has not escaped this problem.

 

The punch list on that bitch has to be a mile long...

 

Gee, who is it that we're borrowing money from to keep our economy running? It couldn't be those fuck-ups in China, could it?
How many years have we been building a replacement for the World Trade Center?
Go ahead and laugh at them all you want, they're eating our lunch now, and will be telling us what's what in the near future. The plight of their people means nothing in the big picture. Life is cheap there. Don't judge their potential by our societal standards.

 

That one thats on TV quite a bit was about a year or two old when it collapsed without warning.

 

Nah. The Peoples Leaders will simply declare the building perfect and the occupants defective.

Prefab is great, if you get it right. If you mess up, you have a punch list with the same items written hundreds of times.
