@pitdesi Wait, so instead of just making it in China they brought Chinese workers to Italy… presumably so they could claim "made in Italy"?!? Isn't the whole point of "made in Italy" is that it is by some 12th generation handbag maker or some such nonsense?

@anothercohen The most insane part is when you talk to their excavation, plumbing/pvc, rebar, concrete, aggregate, decking, & tile subs, you realize they all total up to about 20% of the bid. Equipment+installation and finishing is another 10%. WC+insurance another 7-10%. ~60% is profit.
