I wonder how many inter-islanders we could buy

    The boats were only going to be $550 million each.

    Three billion would probably have gotten two boats, and one terminal they can actually park at.

    Which is a problem, as you need two.

    You're right, that was the whole contract.

    Which makes it even more impressive the project was set to be more than a billion over the original estimate.

    I dunno, I think cutting your losses and starting over when you're dealing with a shitshow on this scale is pretty sensible.

    Not if there are immense costs associated with cutting the project.

    Nothing this government has done has been sensible or based on logic or fiscal calculations. It's all based on ideology and the will to humiliate the previous government in any way they can and of course to suppress opposition from any quarter.
