A couple of years ago I saw a fascinating documentary on the building of the Palm thingie on one of the “learning” channels.
Yet the whole time I was thinking to myself, “Self, no way is that gonna work.”
I also watch a lot of the History channel, Discovery, etc., and I’ve seen programs on all of this and my thoughts were the same. Where does all the money come from, how much does all of that cost, who’s going to pay for it all and who’s really going to live there. I didn’t and still don’t think it’s going to work. There is so much phony real estate developement in the world. Always has been.
And who the hell would want to live there? There are large areas of the world I don’t want to ever go to much less live there. Who the hell would would want to live in any Muslim country anyway except Muslim fanatics?
To me, all those places seem like hell on earth.
