I’m hoping the Iranian people can come out of this a better country. But you are totally correct in that the US did this for the oil not the people.

ROI on even a 2 story parking lot is a lot longer than the one and much more expensive than double the price.

Paving is cheap, easy and other than drainage design is pretty straightforward. Put in drainage, grade land, put down bedding material for the asphalt, put down asphalt and curbing, paint line install signs.

A multi-story garage needs a ton of engineering, concrete and rebar and is custom to each location. Because you have a lot of weight in these structures

If you look at amusement parks that have parking garages most of them are land locked or purchasing new land for parking is so expensive it’s cheaper to build a garage

(Please note I’m am a layman about construction, there is probably a construction person or engineer that can explain it better just a theme park fan that likes reading about how the engineer rides and have occasional tumbled over into parking engineering which is a fascinating topic of how much engineering goes into it)

These guys just ruined the sport for at least the next 5 to 10 years and they don’t even realize it.

Most of them will probably be let go at the end of their contracts and have to go outside the country to other leagues to continue playing if those leagues allowed them.

They are a PR nightmare

The right wing keeps thinking if we just remove these people it will be better, when that doesn’t work, they move on to a new group over and over again until you’re the group that’s causing the problem and they remove you.

It just give me a point of clarity in a crazy world. When people are being daft I just like to remember, probablity wise, I’m probably verbally fighting with a moron and morons are good at being dumb.

I have to quote St Carlin

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

I was more thinking Fed Ex sue them over the damages or maybe work as a class action suit to get everyone money back

I agree that Fed Ex should be sending those refunds to everyone who has to pay them.

But I think FedEX should be able to sue. It used to be anything under $600 didn’t get a tariff. It was too costly and burdensome on the package handlers to collect the tariff. Also the system was designed to hold those $600 packages, not all the packages. Instead of ramping up Fed Ex had to handle a new system blind, with no preparation time. That had to effect core business

Hell would love to see a class action suit by all the package shippers and handlers against the government for what they had to go through

So we are not supposed to …eat?
