Yeah, that tends to happen when you have heavy industry to make all the pieces. Unlike the US which doesn’t make anything anymore or have a manufacturing base.

Couple that with the profit optimization every one in the construction industry do means majority of the time and money spent would be on finding the way to squeeze out the most amount of money.

This just means they’re gonna rip off the taxpayers for every cent they’re worth. And I bet it will be way over budget and take two or three times as long as estimated. That’s the American way.
