2. The building is "30 Rock" in a grotesque display of the Rockefeller family's obscene wealth at the hight of the Great Depression.

3. The original photo is now owned by China and it's one of Xi's most prized possessions in his "fallen America" collection.

Of course should 3IATLAS gravity trigger catastrophic earthquakes and vulcanism during its closest pass to earth, wiping us out, feel free to say I was an idiot. Because then it is intelligent design and a reboot of an experiment (us) gone really wrong.
