In case your parents decided to torture you
|
Look at what I learned today from the great Isra Bravo. Imagine you are born today. Yes… today. Imagine now that your parents want to torture you. And they decide to make you watch all the videos uploaded to YouTube today. Just the day of your birth… As a welcoming gift to you to introduce you to the world you’re going to live on. I repeat. ​ Not a single more. Well… Do you know when you would finish watching them? ​ Hundreds of thousands of hours of content are uploaded every single day—just on YouTube.

Award-winning design. Fast-track construction. Public praise. And six people dead. Just like that… Cracks had already appeared. Not hidden. Not subtle. Visible. I repeat… f**** visible. Engineers saw them. Discussed them. And decided there was no safety issue. Hours later… it collapsed. Let me translate this...
Something worse than pricing a mega-project with consultants? Adding a second consultant to “validate” the price. Worse? A third one doing a peer review. Don’t laugh. This happens… Every day. Governments behaving like headless chickens. Not knowing what to do… but doing something anyway. Anything.
