I’m voting for the introduction of shrimp and silver carp!
Is this trump’s the Green New Deal?
Maintain the Swamp
Just accept your inner American and make it a car park.
No not the mall at DC, one of the only car-free places in the USA along with Disney World
Only because the cars at Disney World get their own park
Cock fighting arena it is then!
How many cocks do I have to fight at once?
You could probably do four if you go middle out.
Either one hundred foot one or a hundred one foot ones.
Jet ski parking
Rewilding that ugly pool area would be an amazing project.
While I get what you’re putting down, the reflecting pool is (in the not shitty timeline) actually a beautiful piece of art.
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.
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.
I am just amazed he didn’t paint TRUMP on the bottom.
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!
What about crabs and snails that clean the surface
It’s not the surface that’s green, it’s all the insides.
At this point I’m surprised Trump isn’t proposing that we make our flag colors red, white, and algae green.
That’s Iran’s flag 1
empty it, pave it over, make a ballroom
another
platinum plated with titanium studs and diamon glass
it’s just our childrens futures, who the fuck cares
clearly no fucking body
dont you mean GOLD plated, with diamond/zirconium studded along the walls. like the gaudy trump tower rooms.
Tun it into a skate park for the kids!
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
The USA still being a thing in 100 years is taking a lot for granted.
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.
You think the same billionaires that are fucking the US aren’t fucking your country?
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
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.
Maybe some gators too
Couple of coke hippos,
reeds are invasive though.
There are native reeds in NA: " three separate lineages occur in North America – one endemic and widespread (the native), one from Europe (the introduced invasive), and one whose nativity is currently unclear which occurs across the southern U.S. from California to Florida and into Mexico and Central America (the ‘Gulf Coast’ type)." https://bugwoodcloud.org/mura/mipn/assets/File/Educational Resources/Phragmites Field Guide.pdf
They could probably find a native cordgrass and plant a perimeter of it around the pool to pretty decent effect I’d say.
