Donald Trump’s $14 million Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation couldn’t stop algae from blooming in the D.C. heat and turning the water a murky shade of green once again.
The unsightly hue plagued the pool just in time for an estimated 125,000 people to descend on Washington for Trump’s “Freedom 250” UFC fights on the White House lawn for his birthday on Sunday — despite work crews spreading chlorine pellets to try to deter algae growth.
The Washington Post reported that the bloom “expanded between Wednesday and Thursday amid wet and warm weather.”
Oh no. Man I had no idea what you were trying to say on first read. No. It’s just this shit happens all the time in Tennessee. Our State Government gets told what the fundamental issue is, they create some cheap stop-gap solution, it fails two or three years down the road.
Like if you ever drive on Interstate 24 in Tennessee this kind of thing is in your face like all the time. Also the State prison healthcare going on here is just chef kiss perfect example of failing to understand root cause.
“Prisoners keep dying in prison because of sickness, I know! Let’s just privatize it.” Prisoners keep dying. “I don’t know where we went wrong?!” It’s hard to feel like justice is served if everything that lands someone in prison exposes them to a incredibly high rate of death by disease.
