I'll say this on Alcatraz given my background: it would need a structural check given its age. But given it's made of stone and brick, it's likely solid. Up to code? Lol. This would be like bringing the Iowas back online. Extremely expensive. But possible. It depends how much Trump gives a fuck.
The problem, if you ditch abstraction and look at reality for a second, is that a shit ton of Chinese people have made depressed wages to produce shit to sell overseas, and so if you take that away, not a lot of people have money to buy shit.
China needs an actual middle class to absorb all this shit. They don't have nearly enough.
Of course he can - if Trump farted in public, the above named 'usual suspects' would report on it for days.
7.(in process) Corrupt judical system.
You're going to need a lot of money to do that. The electrical systems alone are going to be a nightmare. All the wiring runs through rock. And it needs overhaul, not just for safety, but to handle increased load from cameras, computers, all this modern shit that didn't exist 100+ years ago.
You should see some of the Victorian-era HMP's here in Blighty!
Feel bad for the chinks.
alcatraz will be powered by the souls of illegal immigrants
it'd be nice if people were this budget conscious with all government projects
It could certainly be done. I don't even think it would be a bad investment long term. It's certainly a shorter flight than shipping off criminals to GITMO, the current "Abandon all hope" prison the US has. It just would be more than flipping on the light switch and dusting off the jail cells. Lots of capital would be required to make it happen. Trump would need to sell it hard.
It’s foreign production of movies, not foreign movies themselves. The goal is to make Hollywood film their movies in the US again instead of in poor countries like Canada and Eastern Europe.
They were never going to have one. This is the weirdest western prescription..
And they really can't survive without doing the selling of shit overseas. They're fatally dependent on energy imports, if they kill their export market by raising up their domestic market, then the 'Chinese economic miracle' will collapse. In the long term, they have domestic reserves they could develop, and could theoretically do the same coal to gas conversions that much of the western world undertook. Problem is, you can't really develop energy resources very fast when you're in a massive energy crisis, and you don't have much of a chance for 'long term' planning when your under massive unrest from what would be a return to third world status for even the first tier cities.
I loathe hollywood, but Medias under the same corrupting pressures as most other industry. Huge swathes of the work outside the writing room gets exported these days. Huge portions of VFX works makes its way up here to Canada, Animation work gets exported to South Korea or even Best Korea, most of what's left in the US is writing, principle filming, and piecing together the imported slop at the end. That exported main labor is where normal people tend to find their work in the industry.
I'm still a Republican lol. I'm sure he could find the Billions from the Doge savings. It still is a tall order.
Can you find another island surrounded by freezing water in US control? It's still cheaper to modernize than start fresh
If a new facility can be built, then great, but how long will that take to build?
Basically china was already living a dystopia long before us.
