You just knew if it was India, corruption would be involved somewhere. And it probably will be again when he pays someone off.

Some of you communist blowhards have to realize that there is always a certain amount of people in society with this amount of wealth. There is not as many billionaires as people think. He isn't stupid, he probably earned it.
How many people have you worked for that where not wealthy ?

and the problem.....for all concerned...........
the sobering thing in these "flashes of reality" is that nothing material is gained or lost....all the energy that has gone into and will go into manifesting this reality in this world has and will be distributed into the rightfull hands of those who were destined to recieve it......
as for the morality of it.....there is none....it just is.....what it is....
i am just the nowhere man...
living in the nowhere land...

Yep.. i can see the washing lines hanging off the sides now...heres hoping its got low handrailings....
Socal, do you ever read your posts before posting them?
Have you ever seen poverty? Do you watch the news or documentaries on TV or read newspapers?
Do you know where Mumbai is?

You really do lack brainpower, don't you? I will temper my criticism with a certain amount of sympathy from now on.Originally Posted by socal
There is no more extreme form of stress than struggling against malnutrition (aka Survival), none. If you want to start at ground level (well, You need to), and learn something useful and empathetic in the process, google Maszlow's Hierarchy of Needs. What stresses us varies as you ascend that scale.
I have seen it. Groups of Thai men sleeping on their motorbike taxis, or getting drunk with their friends all day.
While oilfield workers bust their ass for 12 hours a day for 3 weeks straight in -40 weather all winter, living in a dry camp(no alcohol) And I might add, you are not allowed visits from wives or girlfriends for the whole 3 week shift. And the porn is blocked on the internet service in camp. Just to go home for your week off where you have $300,000 debt on your house and another 20,000 debt on your vehicle. And you find out that your bitch cheated on you in the meantime. Then you pay 40% of your income in taxes.
That is certainly not my life but it is for most of the guys I work with. I have no debt on my house or vehicle and I am single. I am sure a "poor" motor bike taxi driver would live this lifestyle for a week and be begging to go back to Thailand.
Funny that. We were talking about a spoilt billionaire spending an obscene amount of money (which he didn't earn) on a ridiculously over the top building.
You'll probably find the construction workers that built it mostly earned a few dollars a day for a 12-hour day, 7 days a week.
Once again, your ridiculous foray into subjects about which you know jack shit leads you to yet another pathetic attempt at fudging the subject with a heap of non sequiturs.
Socal , I'll grant you one thing ,
You sure ain't afraid to air your ignorance .

Maslow's hierarchy is a load twaddle.
This Indian is being painted as a bit of an ogre, but in fairness, oes this building cost any more than an average skyscraper that plenty of corporate types build? (the land value simply rose ridiculously rapidly) ...and who amongst us really knows what he's done for (or to) any of the poor (or middle class) of India?
Reliance Industries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ugly!!!
Can you elaborate on that, or are you just throwing eggs?Originally Posted by CaptainNemo
