Donald Trump positioned himself as a swimming pool expert as he touted the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovations he ordered this year, having put in “more than 100” over his career.
But after spending $14 million in taxpayer funds, the Reflecting Pool now looks arguably worse than it did before.
Aside from the bright green hue of the water — the product of what is reportedly one of the largest algae blooms in recent years — the “industrial-grade swimming pool topping” that Trump chose is already peeling off in sheets.
There is beauty to be found in an algal bloom, just as there is beauty to be found in hyenas eating an antelope alive. /hj
Natures healing :')
It looks natural
The universe finding it’s ballance.
/hj = handjob tag?
Half joking.
dafuq does /hj mean?
Half joking.
I think I like the other person’s suggestion that it’s a tag for “hand job”
Not that it matters at all because we’re just randos on lemmy but isn’t this just the same thing as a /s tag? /hj
I think it’s half joking rather than completely sarcastic because I genuinely do think that you could look at a pond full of algal bloom and find beauty in it, but at the same time I would definitely agree that it’s not what you want in a “reflecting pool”.
We need to get some daphnia and moina in there with all that green water, so we can have a never-ending supply of fish food. Just net out some of the critters any time you need to harvest some.
