    You can build damn near anything to last a thousand years. Nobody wants to pay for it though, and I mean can you blame them? If you increase the price by an order of magnitude people are going to get cranky.

      It’s more expensive rebuilding it a bunch of times than doing it right the first time. We have a shit load of money. And it would be a proper use of borrowed money for a change, investing in something that pays for itself in the long run. As opposed to borrowing to buy tanker ships full of lube to stroke off investors like we do now.
