I am seeing a new Fox special in the future “When Buildings Collapse 1” hosted by John Bunell.

Obviously, they aren’t union. Look at the pathetic record of no-progress at Ground Zero....a full 11 years after 9/11.
If Democrats are hell-bent on having a Communist government controlling this country, then we should get the ChiComs to do it. Our own Communists are unfit to build or manage anything.

It takes 90 days just to get a lawyer to write a letter in the declining US.

They could never build like that here.
The unions wouldn’t let them.

I have been inside a Chinese skyscraper.
They dont finish the inside. Exposed concrete, wiring, and ductwork next to people busily working at their desks.
They also dont bother to remove the construction rubble. Landscaping is not their strong suit.

I remember when America was second to none in everything that mattered.
The only thing we do now in 90 days or less is cross the Rio Grande, hook up with the ‘family’, apply for and get all Uncle Sugar's bennies, commit a few federal crimes, and get support from American politicans like Rubio and McCain.

We spent many years in China, and I would not step foot within the area that would be affected by this building’s collapse, let alone inside of it.

“Exposed concrete, wiring, and ductwork next to people busily working”
So it kind of looks like the bathroom of every chinese restaurant I've ever been in?

And it will probably be just as empty as half the skylines in China. Although, it is a good way to create ‘shovel-ready-jobs.;’

Actually, the title of the article is a bit misleading. The building will be assembled in 90 days from modules and components that have already been built.

by using a prefabricated modular technology You can build a lot faster if you build most of the walls simultaneously and then just do finally assembly on site. If you are welding one floor at a time you can't start the 20th floor until the 19th is framed.
This requires good planning and being confident enough in your assembly that you won't need to make on the fly adjustments, so either you will have a nearly perfectly built building, or you will have floors that don't quite match up but with no corrections made as it is built.
Just try to build a major prefab project in a heavily unionized city in the US. On a recent radio show on person was complaining that it cost nearly as much to pay the unionized elevator operators to get communications equipment from the ground to the rooftop as it did to ship it across the country.

Let's hope what happened in Shanghai last year doesn't happen again.
This bridge in Harbin was built in quick fashion as well...
To: Hojczyk
I guess they’re not counting the foundation.
