now i wonder if them getting help from THEIR government will require they sign a loyalty pledge to pissrael
"I spent 364 years building skyscrapers and I can tell from 15 seconds of grainy footage that the Chinese can't make a tower. My name is John Construction."
My name is Bill Ding and I co-sign this post.
Search "Dozens of high rises in Miami are sinking." If you don't feel like doing that I'll spoil it for you. Dozens of high rises in Miami are literally sinking into the ground.
If only anybody at all could have foreseen that building huge heavy buildings in a swamp was a bad idea
I think there's an assumption that these are exclusively old buildings too. They're not. Mega mega million new luxury high rises are sinking too. Whoops.
But Trump said he was going to drain the swamp
wouldnt draining the swamp make them sink quicker tho? if you pump out all that water, you've got even less material under the building :)
Yeah but if there's no water then you can't sink into ot
That must mean that the Chinese tofu dregs aren't real then.
Because buildings never get destroyed by wind in America I guess
amrikkka once had a hurricane so severe it destroyed half of kansas and transferred a little white girl and her dog to another dimension with witches and flying monkeys and talking lions
I guess tornadoes are like mini concentrated hurricanes
American buildings are cardboard
American infrastructure, famously impervious to natural disasters
and planes
And being next to a plane collision
well yes, but also, american houses would stand against disasters MUCH better if they werent built in the floodiest floodzones to ever get flooded.
but of course in libertarian utopia, it was unthinkable to not sell the low lying flood zones for housing. and then half-ass the levees (at best).
Americans living in houses where they can punch holes in their walls: "Heh chinese buildings are made out of cardboard"
Seriously isn't the sound and heat insulation absolute dog shit in your homes?
the floors creak, the windows and doors are ungasketed jokes, etc etc.
our homes are made out of cheap wood and paper
People frankly have no idea that the homes we live in are so shitty and that the rest of the world isn't like this
remember that building in Miami that collapsed like 3 years ago and killed like 100 people and no one brings it up anymore
atomic unit of propaganda isn't lies, it's emphasis
or that parking garage in New York like a year ago
Or all the skyscrapers in downtown Houston that got hundreds of windows blown out during a plain old Texas storm in Spring this year, 2024?

Or all the other houses in Florida that annually turn into arks
Plus ten or twenty years ago if you told people how bad it's gotten and how fast it's accelerated even the most blackpilled climatologists would say you were exaggerating. No one is building structures that can survive modern super storms.
Remember a few years back that derecho flattened likena 70 mile long swath of Iowa?
I member
Grenfell tower....
and no building can be made perfect, with case of Grenfell there was clear cost-cutting but you can collapse a building by flying a plane into it.
Windows fall out of buildings in the US all the time from a stiff breeze.
happened a number of times in the past two years or so in san francisco
Every liberal thinks all Chinese buldings are "tofu dreg"
While living in a house made out of paper and cardboard
Have they ever looked at the USA
If the walls are ripped apart by wind, i wonder how the structural integrity of the rest of the building is
Well I'd imagine pretty fucking solid considering only some windows and frames got removed, and the building is still standing
