Majorian posted:He's someone I'm comfortable calling a bad person, for the record. Because holy poo poo, how does someone find a way to condemn a duckling ramp? You're talking about the same group of callous assholes who want to cut things like Meals on Wheels. Also remember its not like we live in a Kleptocracy (it sure does feel like it) but that every single of of these assholes was voted into office by your fellow citizens, with the full knowledge that getting angry about such tax-hoarding programs like duck ramps or food for the poor is what they want to abolish.

Money gained through subsidiaries and corporations he owned went into banks(and he owned a lot of banks) and other assets. The day of the stock market crash he walked into Wall Street and bought everything for pennies on the dollar.

evilmiera posted:It is also kind of silly a thing to get mad about. You've got Washington DC, one of the biggest tourist traps you can imagine. You add a cute little set of duck ramps that both help tell people not to feed the ducks AND gets a chuckle or "Aaaaw" from the tourists, who'll flock, no pun intended, to take pictures of it and appreciate it. And probably also buy bread to do exactly what the signs tell you not to. It is an investment any way you slice it and I swear that was not a pun when I started out. You save money and complaints by not having drowned ducklings accumulating in the pool anymore. This was already a cost-saving government project, the waste narrative is

Actually I think you'll find that he just preferred to keep his assets liquid which led to his accountant dumping it all into a lake when the Money Bin had to be moved.

Majorian posted:e: nevermind, misread your post, lol. Well I get through it by hoping there are enough "woke" liberals to actually go out and vote in 2018 so we can actually make some changes. I know "Demographics" is a tired term we used to try to justify the death of the GOP, but Millennials are supposedly more liberal than Baby Boomers by a longshot. Also Millennials are reaching that age (early-mid 30s) where decisions made my idiot politicians actually negatively affect your life. This is the age where you are starting to buy houses, have families, and really start to care about healthcare access and schools. So it gives me hope that maybe Trump getting elected is the catalyst for my generation to get out and vote. That and alcohol. I swear I drink more now than I did in college. At least it's good stuff now (hello lagavulin 16).

Mister Mind posted:I blame NC Rep Mark Walker, known duckling-hater. I mean he's absolutely right. It's tragic, really. We all know ducks can't read. So all they see is a picture of themselves being fed with a big NO red circle stamped over it and they think "aw man this definitely isn't for me I need to get away from this thing" and they never use it. Hence the representatives tweet about it being wasteful.

lmao Serious question: does the White House chef decide on the menu, or does the President tell the chef what to make? I can't imagine the poor lady's reaction to "steak...well done...with ketchup....and a Big Mac for dessert" every night. (I have no idea if the Executive Chef actually regularly makes food for the President or what, but either way the poor kitchen staff)
