In case you're judging other people
|
To those people that try to explain the world through their views just put this on their faces: ​ In the USA, 76 percent of people live paycheck to paycheck, some 50 percent of Americans have no money for retirement, and 47 percent of Americans don’t have $400 for an emergency. ​ If these statistics were true in a poor country, it would be one thing, but America is considered a wealthy country, right? ​ Judging is a waste of time. Trying to reason about extremely complex issues based on information that could or not be related, but it’s going to be for sure limited, it’s too pretentious… and not healthy. ​ Get away of social media. Do something useful with your time. Be present, be aware, learn something new. It’s the best investment for your career, your wallet or your mind. ​ If you want to learn something I’m sure you don’t know about PPPs and infrastructure, check the link below. If you want to learn something about life and people’s behaviours and biases, check the link below too.

Contender 1: The PPP Project: Peninsula Link, Victoria 27 km freeway Design, build, finance, operate $759 million AUD Delivered by Southern Way Consortium (Abigroup + Bilfinger + RBS + John Laing) Opened: 2013 On time. On budget. No drama. Not a single front-page headline. Which, in PPP terms, is a love...
Grab the popcorns. Let me tell you about a project that had everything: Corruption Protests Love Treason. Political revenge And a final bill… with zero water delivered Welcome to Mexicali, Mexico. A case that is on Spielberg’s table… or should be. Once upon a time, the government had an idea: “Let’s build a desalination plant. The private sector will pay. We’ll pay later. Easy.” Enter: A PPP for a $500M desalination plant to supply water to Mexicali, a dry city near the U.S. border. The Plan...
Me toca los huevos overspending… it touches my balls. I hate it when I do it myself, despite being quite disciplined. But I can control this. What I can’t control is when my money is wasted by the government. My taxes are my money. Period. And it hurts when they through it through the window. Or simply burn it. Infrastructures now. Many governments overbuild. They have a inter urban highway between their eyes. They want it. Traffic could potentially be around 30.000 vehicles a day. But they...
