No good deed goes unpunished, I guess.
frankly, who does this guy think he is? Was he going to tend it?
D.C. can rest easy now that this anarchist and his vandalism have been excised.
Obey you must !
But don’t bother cleaning up the smithsonian stop or all the garbage and papers at the entrances and stairways at all the stops.
These are the domesticated Morning Glories not the invasive wild Morning Vine that only Roundup will kill...
1.) Kudzu
2.) Bamboo
3.) A few "Trees of Paradise"
After that, sit back and watch it all devour D.C. like something out of a sci-fi movie.
LOL.
It all comes down to the public unions don’t like the competition
I think it would be funny if people kept planting things there.
Over and over.
Of course, that would mean drones would be called in...
The city felt a deep need to ensure that all of the citizenry understood that the government is their master, NOT their servant. This is the type of action that you expect in NK or Cuba, where this type a altruism is seen as nonconformity and nonconformity is seen as a threat.
My Uncle once said that my Aunt bought a 15 cent package of Morning Glory’s and destroyed his whole farm.
They climb the corn stalks choke out the beans and destroy Combines, and cover everything. They are not conducive to farming.
METRO Workers =
Union Members on Sunday Overtime
What’s not to like??? /s
DC is obviously too much awash in OUR MONEY
(watch for METRO to bill the poor guy for the union labor on some sort of anti-littering premise)
Now they will have the meeting with the neighbors, who will tear them a new one for pulling the flowers. The vote will be 16,821 to 0 in favor of the plants.
Henry Docter offers to re-plant for free and take care of them for free. He is turned down and threatened with arrest if he trespasses.
Then they will hire a union landscape architect to re-plant them for $250,000. They will pay their union slugs to water them, but they will ‘forget’ and the plants will die.
They will pay $350,000 to have them ripped out and $275,000 (inflation) to re-plant them. They will also pay the landscapers $10,000 a week to water them. Forgetting that the plants will not need watering in the winter, they fail to notice that there will be 52 weekly waterings. Since the contract is for three years, they are stuck.
Their long dangerous pointy beaks could cause a hazard to pansy-@ss commuters..if the birds were flying in and out to the blossoms. Who knows how many lives have been saved by the Metro's actions.
