Their world was never really about Zero to One.

It was about Zero Sum. That starved mindset of finite resources that must be grabbed, controlled, and manipulated. Stolen ideas with board control. A fucked-up tunnel instead of a high-speed train.

Ok, stopping here. Enough insults. You said "The use of hotels has been very bad for the towns in them." I simply wondered if this was really true and if there was evidence for that. I am not weird, malicious or delusional and you have put words in my mouth which I never said and absolutely reject.

No Stephen. People attacked hotels containing asylum seekers, not because they were outraged at the poor conditions within. They did it because they believed they were bad for them and their town. And I simply asked if we had any evidence for that.

I didn't put any construction on what you said, malicious or tiresome. Barges and airfields are quite literally where they have been put in the past. I thought hotels were better than that, although I would have hoped the government would insist on minimum standards given the money laid out.

Is this really the case, though? I heard the same thing in Donegal, but the hotels that were used that I saw were on the point of closure or had already closed and were actually reopened. The fact they can't work is really a different issue which is not solved if you put them in barges or airfields.
