News / Giant Jesus Rising in Ĺwiebodzin ( Tallest in world ) [323]
well, let's think about this a little; Do you think the money just goes into a little black hole and disappears?
The money is spent on design fees, permit fees, material purchases (to Polish firms), in wages to construction workers (Polish, of course), maintenance costs, and sundry other things. So, instead of just giving charity money, they are paying money into an economy that allows people to work, earn wages to feed their families, create demand for industrial products that keep people working in factories. Creating a viable tourist draw that will create a demand for hotels, restaurants, retail shops that will only add to the local economy.
infinitely a better use for money than just giving it to 'Charity", with longer term benefits.
omg! what's next?!! instead of giving the money to a charity, to poor and hungry children etc, they are building yet another useless statue!!!
just to **** you off...
just to **** you off...
