The USA - the most powerful and richest country in the world - could ... just ... build it.



Isn’t that effectively what they’re doing? They’re using their riches to pay the people with the necessary institutional knowledge to build it in the USA.


The US really doesn't do things directly like that, at least not in the last 50 years. Maybe you could point to this and say its wrong, but going through a contractor or company is the way the government typically operates.


I like this idea and think we should get back into federally building things too.
