Go Woke;
Flag is broke.
There are certain symbolic things that simply must not happen.
Back in the last century, there was an incident in the city I live near. A sign belonging to a national company (I think it was Verizon) partially fell off the building to which it was attached, which is one of the tallest on the skyline.
The fix was covered in the local paper. The story explained how the two new signs, one on each side of the building, were attached by steel rods that crossed the entire interior width of the top floor of the building.
I remember thinking, that must have cost a lot of money, and a lot of expertise, to engineer and fabricate. Whoever ordered that project to be funded must have said something like “you make sure that the only way that sign can fall is if the building collapses, I don’t care what it costs.”
But for a national brand like Verizon, the idea that someone could be killed by their brand falling down on top of them, or even a picture of their logo hanging half-attached to a building, high above a city, was simply unacceptable under any circumstances.
Same with a flag at a national ceremony.
Wasn’t there an incident during the Obama or Clinton administration where the presidential seal fell off the presidential podium at some event?
Is ths a sign from above that Spain is going to cease to exist?
As superstitious as the Spanish are, this will tie them into fits.
