Read my post and try again. We can continue when you demonstrate you're caught up.

A country competing with Japan for the highest suicide rate cant be described as working for a lot of its inhabitants.

I submitted a grant proposal, but we were automatically denied because of the word "transport".

they can’t haul much

Idk, I've seen a family of 5 with a dog, construction workers hauling 30 foot rebar, and dudes with like 200 lbs of plywood, in like an aframe around the bike. A hero of a construction worker with a 20 year old Ship of Thesisus'd Honda Winner probably hauls more stuff per year than your average GMC Canyon.

There are countries where that is absolutely true, look at any major construction project in the gulf states, and counties where that is much less true.

At least during my time in China, I saw more workers wearing PPE and taking measures such as using water to stop particulate matter from getting into the air than in Korea and way more than Vietnam and other developing countries. I understand it was very different 20 years ago.

I don't have data, but I would be quite surprised if China had significantly more injuries per hour worked in construction than Korea.

I’d be more interested in see if they were able to continue this kind of buildout in 30 years

The Beijing subway opened in 1971, when they had less than half the current population. All I can say is that it felt slow, like 2 hours to get what looked like 3-4 blocks on a map

Very recent, non-peer reviewed research, n=1. It makes me very happy to be able to nap on a subway/night bus or safely ride a bicycle or somewhat less safely ride a motorbike. My productivity is the same because I work remotely.

Digging tunnels is dangerous. Especially if you dont have a century of experience to build off of.

lmao do you think china has an industry of mustache-twirling villains whose job it is to threaten peoples families if they dont work for free? Presumably they work for free to keep their families alive too.

The main difference here seems to be that the US can compell property owners to accept what they determine is a fair market rate, but another poster informed me that in some cases the chinese can compell people to sell too.

to the best of my knowledge he didn’t rape children at organised child rape parties with other child rapists

Well he was on the flight logs with Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacy, and Donald Trump.

There has been no attempt to prosecute them.

Hillary's husband is on the flight logs, we dont need to play team sports when it comes to child rapists.
