This might not hold strong as an argument

Say more Ben. Sometimes I can’t even guess what the theory is.

Feels a lil jewy to me

No, absolutely not. They were built with an entirely different budget, application, and availability of materials. Is it fishy the chicken coop in my backyard is not on par with a million dollar beach front estate built in the same time period? Not everything has to be a conspiracy theory, as much as I love them.

There's no argument in this regard. The post office on the left was not made by Catholic d**k suckers. The building on the right was.

It makes total sense to me. I have relatives who recently died 2023, in their third world falling apart, built from mudd and stone house from the early 1900's in a remote eastern European village that they have never left, while I drive on an 8 lane highway in LA.

My great grandmother watched them build that Capitol with mules and white men. The marble was shipped in from Italy.

Resource access matters.

my favorite documentary that ties it all together.
