I don't know where I managed to say anything to the contrary... As you point out, I literally give proof that people in the way don't matter.
I guess you didn't, I just read it that way being under the influence of all the other comments on this meme here and elsewhere, that seem to insinuate that comparing construction in these two places is smh wrong because China=evil and North America=righteous.
My bad to place your comment in the same category.
No worries, tone isn't easily conveyed in text and with everything else it's totally understandable.
And if I'm being completely honest, it may have a slight bias toward that way just from me being from the US. I just didn't consciously/purposely do so.
I did mean to simply say that I wish we could achieve such things here without resorting to what arguably most modern governments have done, if not recently then in the past.
It's doable, we just need the people in charge to have the best intentions for all people.
Fat fucking chance of that in the US these days (or for the last 40 years)
