Got an idea for next month's banner?
I wonder how many inter-islanders we could buy
The boats were only going to be $550 million each.
Three billion would probably have gotten two boats, and one terminal they can actually park at.
Which is a problem, as you need two.
You're right, that was the whole contract.
Which makes it even more impressive the project was set to be more than a billion over the original estimate.
I dunno, I think cutting your losses and starting over when you're dealing with a shitshow on this scale is pretty sensible.
