The construction industry, an engine that has helped power New York City’s tremendous growth in recent years, is slowly starting to reawaken, offering one of the first optimistic economic glimmers as the city struggles to recover.
And it also provides a glimpse of how the coronavirus pandemic has fundamentally changed the workplace in the nation’s largest city and the epicenter of the outbreak.
— The New York Times
For the New York Times, Matthew Haag reports on the recent reopening of several thousand NYC construction projects and how the ongoing COVID-19 crisis calls for new social distancing and hygiene measures on job sites: "Roughly 5,200 construction projects were operating again as of Tuesday, from the Spiral office tower at Hudson Yards on the Far West Side to One Vanderbilt near Grand Central Terminal and home renovations in Far Rockaway, Queens."

we should change our priorities as a society. I suggest we all stay locked down for the next 20 years until all disease is eradicated.
google logical fallacies and then use the next twenty years to educate yourself
google hyperbole, preferably whilst jumping off an iconic work of architecture
make sure to press 'enter' before the leap, though
I'd suggest "i'm feeling lucky"
hyperbole has been almost fully devalued as a currency in the age of "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?"
but sure, suicide hyperbole is always funny. LOL, kill yourself, LOL.
I wonder how many of these super highrises will have tenants when they are complete?
most were already empty, they are called investments....was 16k (Manhattan) empty prior to this epidemic.
