***Re: Lenin statue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(snip) (from 1997)
Uznay, proprietor of Hanover Cheesecake, a wholesale bakery in Fremont (Seattle), has plans for Fremont’s statue of Lenin (the larger-than-life bronze figure, a relic from the Cold War, occupies a pie-shaped plot on North 35th Street).
“I’d like to see someone install a cash machine next to Lenin,” says Uznay. “So far, I have called four banks, but none is willing to consider it.”
(Part of the reluctance of the banks may stem from Uznay’s notion that the machine should be installed on Lenin’s backside.)
🐷
1) Anger their Capitalist Customers who would refuse to use the cash station for safety and political reasons and rightly so because of the threats of anti capitalists congregating around this cultural marvel of a statute, or:
2) Irritate the Communist "Young Pioneers" (Aka Antifa) who would probably break into the machine regularly to steal evil capitalist money resulting in daily and weekly repairs and or replacements.
Perhaps Mr. Uznay, cheesecake factory baker owner, should Melt down the Lenin bronze and recast it to statues of William Lawrence, the Chester New York farmer who first produced Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese (I know...its a marketing thing!) or Arnold Reuban, who is credited with creation of both the New York style Cheesecake and the Ruben Sandwich! (Or any other cheesecake innovators or heroes! See link for Cheesecake history and stuff!)
