I finally found the drinking thread, and what I was gonna post about is irrelevant to the rest of the work. Petty small-town shit from people who get so much tunnel-vision, they can't see the rest of the world.
I'm talking about "ultra-eco-P/C-hippies" driving their hybrids and erecting rusted recycled junk and calling it art...........and paying the "artist" over $25,000 paid by a GRANT................ and the community/city can't figure out who will pay for cleaning sidewalks, and on the same community BB that are singing the praises of this new "art" piece are appeals from the local shelter for temporary housing for people/families spending nights in cars in freezing temps and a food bank that once a week gives food to over 100 local families.................
I'm talking we live in a SMALL community, less than 5,000 full time residents. $25grand is more than 80% of the people in this area make in a year.
I know what material costs are and in the "true spirit" of our area, I'd bet $100 that the material the artist used was recycled from somewhere, which means the material costs are NOTHING! And the artist gets over $25 THOUSAND..... from a GRANT?????????????
HEY! I'm drinking and on a rant here. I can't say what I'd really like to say on the local forum, so this is the closest I get. And this is the edited version~~~
Sorry, friends.
I posted something about this topic on the local BB last night, deleted it,,,,,,,,,but it still pissed me off this evening, so I posted another.........much tamer version.................
OK- venting over-----------maybe----------------back to drinking----------------
