NYS Thruway Digital Signs

Posted on 12/31/2024 10:54:13 AM PST by AbolishCSEU

Husband noticed a brand new fancy digital sign on a state highway with a photo of Jimmy Carter, and a caption "Character!"

Really? Is this what our taxpayer dollars are going to? They are going to make a big boo hoo event over Carter's passing in BLUE states, obviously.

If they want to honor Jimmy Carter they should close all the gas stations on the highway.

Lol.

“If they want to honor Jimmy Carter they should close all the gas stations on the highway.”

Great plan! I like it.

If they want to honor Jimmy Carter they should wear sweaters and turn their home thermostats to 60°F................

I don;t disagree with you, but I BELIEVE the NYS Thruway Authority is a private enterprise. Not a part of the state government.
I COULD be wrong though.

I grew up in WNY. Thought I remember hearing that back in the 1980s.

Was it an animated sign of him swatting at a swamp rabbit with a boat oar

It is a hybrid with “public” control:

Character. He was a wimp.

Does anyone remember Jimmy Carter being asked by any RAT candidate to campaign with them?

I spent 6 years in Buffalo NY. Was amazed that every election brought new carved and painted wooden signs at every local or state facility with newly elected persons’ names. What a waste of taxpayers money!!

I have no evidence Carter was evil—but he sure did make a lot of policy decisions that kicked Americans in the gut—and almost none that helped us.

Maybe he was pretending to be evil....

Lol.

“Malaise” would have been more apt.
