Probably an illegal…just saying. Remember according to the unemployment numbers FJB had over expectation employment #’s. Then later we found out that a lot of those jobs were from illegals who took the part-time jobs from Americans.

Bet money that the seasoned pro retired not long ago and was replaced by a Didn’t Earn It (DEI) token.

The guys putting up the sign were just following orders even if they recognized the screw-up. Probably especially so. They were not about to make a decision beyond their paygrade and disrupt the chain of command and maybe get fired from their cushy six-figure govt job. So it took social media to get it straightened out. How government works. I don't blame the underlings. Call out Didn't Earn It (DEI) promoted staff and you'll be called racist and possibly fired.

For a while we had ‘51th Ave’. It did get fixed.

Few years ago they re-painted the local KLAMATH UNION HIGH SCHOOL basketball court. It took a couple of months after the job was done before someone noticed a problem.

Reminds me of the “Shcool Zone” I saw painted on the street one time.

Back in my Air Force days a proposal of some sort had come down from HQ. At that time all were encouraged to communicate in a concise manner, so our commander composed a one-word reply: "Concur".
Unfortunately, the secretary mistyped it, no one caught it, and the official reply was sent back to HQ as "Connur". That became the source of several long-running jokes around the base.

They could have easily & quickly fashioned a laminated facsimilie to correct the error until a new sign is ready.
A professional sign shop could have matched the area in hours and it’s temporarily fixed in one day.

In a police journal, someone included the saying “the pen is mightier than the sword,” only omitted the space between “pen” and “is.”

Was sign designed by a DEI employee?
To: Red Badger
Some years ago Chicago or one of the Chicago suburbs decided to name a street in honor of Nikola Tesla. This was when he was not as well known as today and long before Tesla cars. When the sign was made they spelled it Telsa. After a while someone noticed the error but the people on the street didn’t want the name corrected—so I think it remained Telsa St.
