Construction and Perversion

[selfishgene]

I need some fairly urgent house repairs done. I have been waiting this week for 4 separate builders to return my call and give a quote. How bad can the economy be, if not one of them bothers to do so? I suspect the stimulus is working. Construction workers would rather have a long term overpaid government contract than do a quick market priced job

How can it take five hundred times longer to build a shorter bridge?

No regulators to deal with.
