[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, having unfinished buildings rotting and collapsing on people will definitely help our cause.

Oh, and the workers will go bankrupt if they can’t work.

But keep up the armchair opining. [/quote]

And the mayor (or at least her perpetual campaign cash operation) will go bankrupt if the big developers are feeling less generous in their, uh, civic appreciation.[/quote]
You act as if the Mayor is all powerful.  You speak as though she and she alone has the ability to shut down construction projects.  Ask yourself this finger-pointer...  Why haven't the construction workers themselves simply put their foot down and refused to continue these nonessential projects?  Do you not think that their voices hold any significance?  Why haven't their labor unions raised exercised their authority in protest against being forced to endure unsafe working conditions and continue building frivolous flats in the middle of a pandemic?  Do you not think that their influence carries any weight?  Tell us critic, how has the Mayor in her preeminence managed to silence both the workers and the labor unions?[/quote]
