That's like only 30 meters deep

2020-02-18 00:39:56 UTC  

Sorry 300

2020-02-18 00:40:46 UTC  

do you have any grasp of how fucking big 300 meters is?

2020-02-18 00:41:07 UTC  

its like 300 small humans

2020-02-18 00:41:38 UTC  

especially when it comes to digging though solid bedrock

2020-02-18 00:43:13 UTC  

I meant it's not much to fill up

2020-02-18 00:43:32 UTC  

It's so simple like how don't you understand

2020-02-18 00:43:46 UTC  

Boris will cut the bullshit and just get it done

2020-02-18 00:45:05 UTC  

well i havent' heard an economic argument, and it fails the sniff test

2020-02-18 00:45:17 UTC  

it reaks of bullshit, so i'm not supporting it - i'm out

2020-02-18 00:47:07 UTC  

honestly HS2 is better than the damn bridge

2020-02-18 00:47:20 UTC  

HS2 is also a colossal waste of money

2020-02-18 00:47:53 UTC  

its more practical and useful than a bridge across the irish sea

2020-02-18 00:48:55 UTC  

scrap both ideas

2020-02-18 00:49:19 UTC  

and thats saying something in regards to HS2...

2020-02-18 00:51:34 UTC  

No economically it's good

2020-02-18 00:51:47 UTC  

Imagine all the money injected into the economy by the bridge

2020-02-18 00:51:56 UTC  

The money cycle will expand

2020-02-18 00:52:15 UTC  

Haven't you heard of the law of amplifactation

2020-02-18 00:52:20 UTC  

it goes into the pocket of a handful of ceo's

2020-02-18 00:52:42 UTC  

No the builders get money and spend it in the economy and then those people spend it

2020-02-18 00:52:49 UTC  

no, they don't

2020-02-18 00:52:50 UTC  

Good for everyone because more money is moving around

2020-02-18 00:52:55 UTC  

Yes they do

2020-02-18 00:53:04 UTC  

Do some thinking

2020-02-18 00:53:10 UTC  

the amount of money that is moved around as a result of this is a fraction of the total spent

2020-02-18 00:53:22 UTC  

thus you have to consider what impacts the product itself will have

2020-02-18 00:53:32 UTC  

and so far, i have heard no economic argument for it

2020-02-18 00:53:32 UTC  

Yeah but the money spent is government money not our money

2020-02-18 00:53:42 UTC  

But some of the money will go into the local economy

2020-02-18 00:53:56 UTC  

no the government wastes 10's of billions in taxpayer money in trying to build it

2020-02-18 00:53:58 UTC  

And from their into the wider even economy

2020-02-18 00:54:17 UTC  

so my money, which i couldn't afford the government to take, a small portion of which will go into a local economy that isn't mine

2020-02-18 00:54:26 UTC  

It's not your money tho it's the goverments

2020-02-18 00:54:31 UTC  

Why do you even care

2020-02-18 00:54:32 UTC  

how about we just don't do it, i keep my money and am better off

2020-02-18 00:54:35 UTC  

It won't affect you

2020-02-18 00:54:43 UTC  

uh huh

2020-02-18 00:54:44 UTC

2020-02-18 00:54:53 UTC

2020-02-18 00:54:55 UTC
