In April 2019, one of the most famous cathedrals in the world was partially destroyed by fire. Notre-Dame de Paris sustained heavy damage in the disaster.

Donations poured in from around the world to rebuild the cathedral, including from some of France’s wealthiest citizens.

President Emmanuel Macron vowed that Notre-Dame would be rebuilt within five years using the nearly $900 million collected. But the deadline won’t quite be met, but the restorations is now in the homestretch.

Hundreds of artisans work towards a reopening on December 8, 2024. If all goes according to plan, the framework for the famed spire will be completed this year, allowing a return to the Paris skyline of one of the its oldest and most iconic features.

The project has been complicated by involvement of so many different actors, like the government, the national auditor to oversee the vast sums involved, the doners, the architects, and contractors and workers.

While Notre-Dame won’t be reopened in time for the Summer Olympics next year, those heading the project say they are finally confident the public and worshipers will be able to go inside by the end of next year.

The project costs 20 billion dollars and though the bulk of the money is entails, some of it will come from the government which is throwing 52 billion dollars in subsidies of the semiconductor industry.   It’s part of the flood of money the government is directing towards industry investment in a plan to outrun China and retain economic superiority in the 21 st century. But it will take 7000 construction workers to build the plant and three thousand operators. Not only can Intel not find enough workers to operate the plant, it can’t even find enough construction workers to build it.   Intel isn’t alone. America is struggling to find assembly l

Reading material: 02 More parking fee for larger cars?

https://www.wisdomsq.com/contents/bepod/20230703.html More parking fee for larger cars? Parking is always being a critical element in cityscapes. The vast expenses of parking lot areas in places like Walmart or within the housing projects illustrates its importance. But there is a new issue in parking landscape with two possible solutions. The dilemma: how can city officials implement varying parking charges for different cars to increase revenue while maintaining fairness for car owners? Solution one: What about charging more for cars that emit more pollutants ? It seems sensible considering global focus on climate change. Solution two: What about if we charge larger, heavier vehicles more because they consume more parking space? Both these ideas are being tested worldwide. In the UK, for example, driving a fossil fuel power dirty car in cities like London or Dublin means you'll be paying through the nose . Your parking fee would be double compared to eco-friendly vehicles.
