This video tells us all we need to know about why the United States is going to be relegated to playing backup quarterback in the future.  Now I am not an expert in construction or unions  (which I am not a fan) but..  Building a 30 story building in the United States would take months if not years.  The costs for a project like this would probably be 100x the amount as well.  And with the exception of a few projects there is no way work would go 24 hours a day.

China built this in 15 days… 15 days!  I know it is modular but that is ingenious not cheap.  It’s called efficiency and speed.  I don’t think all buildings should be built this way but there are plenty of projects where modular design makes a whole lot of sense.  That’s not what this is about anyway.  This is about work ethic, having a goal, getting your entire country on track etc.

Now the question is… will we continue to plod down the road until we are a past super power or will we learn from them and start innovating again?
