"The truth is that this project would not have gotten done, certainly not during his term, if the president had gone through the traditional review process,” the op-ed said, adding that it has become “far too difficult to build anything in America.”

I will translate what the filthy-rich like Bezos are saying:

How dare Americans put restrictions on con men and grifters who amass fortunes through cons, grifts and manipulation. We are the filthy-rich and should be allowed to build anything out little egos desire.

History, shitstory, who cares? If some rich idiot wants to build something, anything, historical preservation should never be a stumbling block. And all those health and safety regulations on stuff we build for you poor folks should be done away with too. It's just so hard for us filthy-rich grifters to build anything. How dare you poor people stop us.
