It's lazy, if you ask me

I've heard stories like that multiple times in Italy:
A house ‘in construction’ doesn’t have any taxes attached to it, hence the Sicilian’s abode can become an eternal work in progress to avoid hefty fees and excesses.

- Came here to say this. You think it's a joke but the joke's on you
Nobody wants to work anymore.
I shared this with my best friend from Italy and he snorted his coffee through his nose. : D
- Silly italian
  That isn't how you drink coffee.
  Also, that is where the cocaine is supposed to go
- Tell him to get back to work!
Have you been to Greece?
No, I'm not referring to more ancient ruins. Greeks allegedly(?) leave rebar protruding through their roofs to keep them legally unfinished and save on taxes.
- Wouldn't that lead to faster corrosion, as the ends of the bars have exposed ends and rust will start from there?
My italian friend says its because of funding problems
I dont know if its the same in ltally as in Greece but there, if you get a building permit, it does not expire until the building is finished. Therefore you see many unfinished but inhabited buildings of simply a few pillars in a field. Its simply to maintain an active builders permit
Also yeah i know... those are actual ruins but I ended up writing an informational post instead of just a joke as originally intended
The colosseum was in use for far longer (80 AD to 1349 AD) than America is discovered (1492 AD to present)
Are they stupid?
Italy is very lazy. Same as how they cant be fucked making a pizza sometimes so they fold it and call it a Calzone. Or being to lazy to make lasagna so they just mix it all and called it lasagnette. Smh 🤦
