the type of people that our society allowed to be rich in 1960 and 2024 are different.

@jeffcliff @sickburnbro Whenever someone brings up a point like this, I love to bring up the Vogtle 3 Reactor, the newest nuclear reactor in the US, that came in so behind schedule and over budget that the company producing it considered cancelling it due to just how big of a money hole it was. It is generally understood in the US nuclear industry that the United States is physically incapable of building new nuclear plants, something that was considered a fairly routine construction project just a few decades prior. This is just another victim of the US's "diversity" induced competency crisis. It's true that some east Asian country can still build skyscrapers and dams, and hyper advanced powerplants powered by AI smart nanite robots or whatever the fuck. But those countries are also hyper homogenous countries with a supermajority ethnicity, culture and religion with average IQ's ranging from the mid 90's to the high 100s. The US is a multicultural, multiethnic, and multi-religious nation with IQ's ranging from the mid 50s to the high 100s, though that latter number is rapidly decreasing. You can't compare the two, one has a future, the other one absolutely does not.

@jeffcliff I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, Jeff.

Obviously *someone* could build it, since they are building way bigger things in the non-white world.
It's a *choice* that it's not being built.

"nobody can build large towers like this anymore"

@jeffcliff @sickburnbro it's called USA government red tape.
There's a reason Cali homes old enough hold their value.

@jeffcliff So you are missing the context he is laying out then: "The Space Needle is one of my favorite reference points of American Failure"
