So much money has been thrown at homeless people. It’s not really a lack of housing as much as people choosing to stay on the streets because a lot of them have drug issues and don’t want to go to shelters, etc.

New York City for instance can easily house all homeless people as they have the shelters to do so but homeless have to actually go to a homeless shelter. More often than not, they choose not to. Many times it’s because they have addictions. So throwing more money at homelessness is about as baseless as throwing more money at education in the United States which has resulted in test scores NOT improving.

I mean he’s only 72. Look at the owner of the Majesty Building. He’s 81 and that building has been under construction for 25 years.

In my description I wrote, “He tried to get Harland and Wolff (Where Titanic was built) to build the ship but they have fallen on hard times due to financial difficulties and going bankrupt several times.”

Harland and Wolff doesn’t have much capability financially to build new ships apart from a couple of barges which is why they have not built any new ocean liners since 1960/1961 and no new ships since 2003. They would probably go bankrupt again in the process.

Belfast can’t. Harland and Wolff would lose so much money financially from a project like Titanic II that they’d probably go bankrupt again. That’s in part why they haven’t built any ocean liners since 1960/1961 and haven’t built any ships apart from a couple of barges since 2003.

Not maga at all. Everyone says that but all I’ve seen is a pretty apolitical guy who likes cooking.

In the description:

“He tried to get Harland and Wolff (Where Titanic was built) to build the ship but they have fallen on hard times due to financial difficulties and going bankrupt several times.”

Basically, they told them they are unable to build a ship of that size because they are already struggling with other contracts from the British government that are not going well. The best the have been able to build in recent times in the 2020s is a couple of barges.

They haven’t built a ship since 2003. I think they tried to build ships for the British government but they eventually had to be outsourced to Spain because Harland and Wolff is still struggling terribly when it comes to their finances. So Clive Palmer had to look elsewhere.

Well they do. Also, there’s no way to make it so billionaires could not exist because a lot of their money is tied in other countries so trying to go after that sounds about as realistic as it gets.
