They only had 2 dozen people working on it? That doesn't sound right.
I wonder why they want to cool the economy? Inflation? Worried about folks wanting more freedom? Widening gap between rich and poor?
Sounds strange.
Makes you think about how that would have gone down in a democracy. I think they would have at least thought about how this would come off in the public's eye first...perhaps spun it a little better. I don't know.
I think it meant that 2 dozen were layed off from the project, would sure hope they'd have more than that for a big project like this. But this blows for Universal. The park can only make money when it's operating, won't this forced delay cost them millions in revenue? Who picks up the tab for that, sure hope the government does. I agree, it all makes no sense whatsoever.
