I've dealt with large scale projects/equipment before. Most people don't realize that request like this are common. It's not entitlement, just social media and ignorance that added to the sensationalism (as the article pointed out). That's why the shipbuilder is "blindsided by the social unrest the plans caused". People sleeping in their cozy bed at 3am don't see massive equipment that rolls down main street, with traffic lights, power lines etc all moved out of the way. Google "Airbus A380 wing transportation"... actually here's a link: https://www.cnet.com/pictures/following-an-a380-through-rura...

The shipyard should really stop saying they can build ships of a certain size then. And they should stop taking on projects that they can't actually deliver on.

Agreed.

Furthermore, I say billionaires need publicly shaming for such material extravagances. These superyachts are, quite frankly, an utterly irresponsible use of our shared and finite planetary resources.

Let’s test that… say Bezos really wanted the bridge gone. If Bezos were to pay $100B, half to the government and half to your favorite charity, would you say that’s a good deal?

10B? 1B?

Money doesn’t buy everything, but being too principled about that can harm causes you care about.

Yeah, what a cunt! The people sure taught him a lesson.
