    • Start aquaculture farm in reflecting pool

    • Raise the shittiest shrimp in the universe

    • Brand them Freedom 250 Prawns

    • Let business partners buy them at huge markup

    This is all so easy

      While I get what you’re putting down, the reflecting pool is (in the not shitty timeline) actually a beautiful piece of art.

        The idea behind it is beautiful. But it’s always been sorta ugly and shitty. Trump just took it from a meh 6/10 to a SOILD 2/10.

        But the entire point of monuments is the ideas, concepts and representation. Not the actual piece it self.

        Why not add some secondary side pools joined by underground channels with some very gentle induced flow beneath the surface? Those side pools could act like like living filters and bring some wildlife to boot.

      I’m thinking we replace it with a 2,000 foot long AI generated portrait of obama performing lewd acts on trump, and then for the next 100 years we can have a news cycle about democrats wasting money whenever someone suggests restoring it to the original monument

          Haha, humanity surviving the next 100 years is a lot to take for granted. Just because the USA is in the lead in the race to the bottom doesn’t mean the rest of the countries in the world aren’t in the race as well.

            Actually I give a lot more for humanity’s chances than this organization we call the United States of America remaining as a unit for another 100 years.

                I’m American, I think billionaires are always fucking everybody, and I think the human race has better odds of surviving another 100 years than the USA as an entity. But I don’t feel like debating whatever train of thought you’re on.

                  Not a debate - it’s easy to say the US is fucked (rightfully so, we are fucked). My point was it’s happening to almost every single “first world” country right now. Same billionaires, same fucking playbook. Humanity is in a great filter moment and whatever’s left in 100 years is going to be a wasteland

    Trump should be praised for using the reflecting pool to bloom algae. it’s forward thinking of him to leverage a biological solution to the carbon greenhouse gas problem and attempt to replenish oxygen in the atmosphere at the same time!

    such a stable genius!

    Instead of dumping chemicals in the pool, they should put a couple thousand algae eating fish in there like you put in your fish tank. Maybe a few goldfish cause old drumpf loves gold things.

      Yeah that’s honestly a gigantic missed opportunity. Make it into a massive carp or koi pond…

      Dumping chemicals in the reflecting pool meant to, you know, reflect who you are as a person and as a nation, is too fitting for this administration.

        and like, you can just use 25 cent feeder goldfish. legitimately the local japanese restaurant wanted to buy ours (we were friends with their sushi chef) to use in their koi pond in their restaurant (or just take home) because once they’re big, only an expert can tell the difference. a koi is a pretty goldfish basically. ours were named breakfast, lunch, and dinner because our pet oscar refused to eat them and we thought naming them after meals was darkly appropriate and might encourage him to eat them. it worked once., but not twice and then the fish were bigger than him. ours were the size of my foot. or forearm. same size.

    At this point I’m surprised Trump isn’t proposing that we make our flag colors red, white, and algae green.
