I finally saw a video of the “pier”. I am astounded that this thing cost $130 million to construct!!!
I have spent a career managing large construction projects all over the world and there is no way this thing should have cost anywhere near 130 million bucks.
I also worked for over 2 years in a very remote part of eastern Africa, and you are so right.
There is a standard saying in Africa, accompanied by a shoulder shrug; “AWA”. (Africa Wins Again)
This is muttered every time the locals would do something unimaginably self-destructive crazy, and all that could be done is, “AWA”!
I lived in Chile for over 5-years and it was pretty decent in the early 2000s.
They have since elected a communist professor as president and the country is now circling the drain.
As a lifelong NRA member, I am just about ready to dump them. I was glad to see LaPierre finally leave the organization. I was furious with the NRA when they endorsed senator Harry Reid for re-election. The organization claimed Reid was a supporter of the 2nd Ammendment, but were too stupid to understand that Reid supported the confirmation of every anti-gun judge nominated for any court appointment, including SCOTUS.
When Col. Oliver North was brought in, and quickly fired after he made statements about the corruption in the organization, I just about quit them.
