Again, because this is something I weirdly know a bit about, here are three (!!) other examples of vanity project airport clusterfucks:
Narita in Tokyo, the new Istanbul Airport, and Willy-Brandt in Berlin. Also Denver International has a tonne of problems, too, but I don't think that is quite on the same level...
Also, the entire Kazakhstan capital city has pretty much the exact same problem. As does the Burmese capital...
How the fuck this KEEPS HAPPENING, all over the world, in both "democratic" and non-democratic states, I honestly do not know. shrug
You would think bureaucrats would learn, but clearly... Nope.
A whole bunch of independent actors following their best interest in the utterly broken system which our media friends like to call "liberal democracy" and which has more bureaucratic bloat and allows for less freedom than 1980s Czechoslovakia.
It's why electing someone like Cheeto Hitler or Ron DeSantis or Maxime Bernier or Jair Bolsonaro or Eric Zemmour doesn't work. The entire system is irrepairably broken and it can't be saved no matter who ends up being the figurehead.
I think that's a cope. "I had no other choice!" - No, everyone always has a choice, we're not controlled by our surroundings, we're not a metal ball in a pinball machine just bouncing around, or a piece of trash being blown about by the wind. Again, yes, there are shady elites, but we're not literal puppets; by "we" I mean every single human being. I know I'm not one, and I expect everyone else not to be one either, including the bureaucrats who make the current system work by letting themselves be manipulated. They're failing to say no, and I hold that against them.
Also, on this, if people don't know about Montréal airport, yet, look it up.
It is genuinely hilarious, how absolutely, monumentally disastrous that was. Like, to unintentionally fuck up that badly...? That takes SOME doing.
