Building is planned to be 100 miles long and 1600 feet high. Supposed to be 20,000 foreign workers have died building it plus natives of the area have disappeared. Surprise, it is turning out to be more expensive to build than expected.

I can’t fathom such a “building.”

It would take quadrillions of dollars to make.

Its hard to believe that so many would have to die before the story got out.

I want a building that is:

Eight miles high, and when you touch down
You’ll find that it’s stranger than known

Maybe just one quad.
A thousand trillion.
Yeah seems insane.

Reminds of one those beehive buildings from the Judge Dredd movie. The Government elites like to pitch it as a ‘15 minute nirvana’, but they are planning to house the unwashed commoners in these dystopian hell holes - while they reserve the open places for themselves.

That building would barely notice.
Gnat on the windshield.

Sorry, but there is, to me, something wrong mentally to WANT to build a skyscraper 100 miles long and 1,600 feet high.

Great song, but my favorite is “I Wasn’t Born to Follow.”

The story of Saudi brutality and slavery has been out for years, decades, but no one pays any attention to it. Because oil?

Just when they finish building it, all workers will be ordered to work from home because of a new pandemic.

100 MILES HIGH??!!!!!...why? That’s a ridiculous and impractical goal. No building is worth over 20K people dying to construct it. Seems like that kind of “look at me!”building would make an irresistible target for some other country with a bone to pick.
