someone somewhere will be making truckloads of money from the TMT once it is operational
For sufficiently small "truckloads of money", that "someone-somewhere" could have been us: construction contracts, GET on the materials, some payroll tax, maybe a bit more tourism...
The losses will be more subtle: if TMT fails, we will be lucky to see any outside investment that doesn't fit an existing commercial/retail space, no corporation will dare to break ground to build their own anything.
