World's Tallest Building to cost $26.7 billion

You got that right with all the starving people in the world. Now, how many people would that feed?

Now wouldn't that be a real legacy to leave mankind. To totally eradicate starvation and hunger or poverty and despair. That legacy could live on for generations.

Firstly, I'd like all you God believers to explain to me why God allows all these people to starve, especially all the millions of children with bloated bellies to suffer for all these centuries. Secondly, the leftist Liberals would never permit the suffering and poverty to be eradicated. They need these people as voters. How can you be so ignorant?

Off to an early start trying to get banned.

What a waste...

The workers' families will eat better until it's done, and once it's finished many more jobs will be created. Does a lot more good than shoveling money into refugee camps... I don't like it any more than anybody else, but the sad irony of poverty is that you can't eradicate it with money.

Give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish he will eat for a lifetime.  

Think of it as OJT for the people over there

Ignorance to the max here... In Dubai that might be the case, for SA those construction guys are little more than slave labourers... they might get treated a little better than the maids though
