It's cool how you just take them at their word.

But my point is that none of this is being done efficiently. Instead, middlemen siphon money from the project to pad their pockets and stretch out the timelines for completion. I won't be surprised if some of these projects go over budget, over time, or need additional funding.

Wake me up when these projects complete. Then we can look at how much they really cost and how long it really took and how much they really produce.

Love how you slide them goalposts around

The money does not go directly to production, that's the goal post. It goes through a dozen people's hands before the ground is ever broken on one of these projects, and every one of those hands takes their cut to pad their pockets. That was my point.
