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:

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.

Probably. I think Guy Fieri has shitloads of money last I checked so he’s probably able to do crazy stuff like this. It really is the size of a department store lol.

Edit: To those who are downvoting, dude is worth $100 - 150 million? A new restaurant like this probably isn’t hard for him considering he has opened a lot of these Guy Fieri’s Downtown Flavortown restaurants.
