I don't know bout spending a week on floating mall...

[Darksheare]

My luck: I’d get onboard and it would sink.

It looks fine, kind of like every regional mall in the US ... except I see exactly nine (9) lifeboats, all on the portside? Am I missing something? 8K people, 9 lifeboats doesn’t make me feel terribly comfortable if I’m a passenger.

The Queen Mary carried over 16000 troops in one passage as a troopship during WW2, she carried over 10000 troops on several runs.. .

How do you keep more than 6,300 people fed, housed and having the time of their life while floating in the middle of the ocean?

I don't know about "the time of their life" but talk to these folks. They have been doing this for decades!

"An area equivalent to Hindustan is devoted to food and its preparation aboard Tyrannic. Forty tons of Stilton cheese are consumed on every crossing, as are 214 miles of sausage and melons sufficient to fill the Grand Canyon of Arizona. All excess livestock is thrown overboard on sight of landfall..."

"Yoo Hoo! Over Here!"

They just keep getting bigger and gaudier and more ostentatious and eventually they'll become a great enough affront to God that He'll send one to the bottom. Then the vain and arrogant builders will wring their hands and point their fingers and every motive will be weighed except hubris.

Pride is the sin that cost Lucifer his place in Heaven. These floating cattle cars are little more than a thumb in God's eye.
