I don’t have the source to hand anymore but Sika turned down the job, saying it wasn’t feasible under the imposed constraints. There’s a few companies that are specialists in their field, who do big projects in impossible circumstances, and Sika is one of those companies.

Nobody wants to take on another MAGA boondoggle. If you get it right, good luck getting paid. He's going to want to do some under the table kickback deal that will only get you stiffed, and when the entire thing ends up in court, your company will be the scapegoat, and you'll go to jail.

And if you get it wrong, ditto. No upside, LOTS of downside.

No fucking way.
