    What was the biggest waste of money in human history?

    The world's longest bridge: the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge(at a cost of about $20 billion) is a miracle in the world's engineering history, but in terms of its use value, it has become the biggest construction waste in the world's history. Until now,
    three years after the bridge was completed, there is hardly any traffic on this bridge.

    When the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Bridge was about to be opened to traffic, the decision makers suddenly realized a big problem: Who will use this bridge?

    Vehicles from mainland China cannot use it because mainland license plates cannot enter or leave Hong Kong and Macau. Similarly, Hong Kong vehicles can't use it because Hong Kong license plates can't go to Mainland China and Macau, and Macau vehicles can'
    t use it because Macau license plates can't go to Mainland China and Hong Kong. ...... Only vehicles with Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau can use it, and such vehicles are very few in number, and those who need to go on the bridge are even more rare.
