I guarantee France have stronger unions and regulations, and still managed the GPE. 3 years late and with 20% cost overrun, sure, but to be fair, they had to deal with floods twice, which wasn't planned and broke equipment and reseted some tunnels.
- cromka 6mo ago20% cost overrun is nothing if you look at the typical cost overrun of a US infrastructure project. UES extension in NYC a prime example of that. And 3 years late? How about 50 years late?
- jbxntuehineoh 6mo agoyeah lol, in NYC 3 years and 20% would be regarded as an unprecedented success
- cromka 6mo agoExactly, some serious bonuses would be paid out

You probably need _more_ regulation to avoid the former, and have unions involved in the review process (construction workers usually know when a construction company is full of shit).
