Brickbat: Crappy Conditions

An employee at the City-County Building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was recently injured when a toilet tank shattered. Local TV station WGAL reports city buildings are plagued with maintenance issues, such as nonfunctioning boilers and elevators, broken urinals, and moldy water fountains. "I notice every crooked shutter and every dripping faucet," said Councilman Anthony Coghill, who is a contractor. "I'm afraid to do an in-depth look at all of our facilities because I'm afraid of what I will find."

It's not called Shittsville for nothing.

The best thing about Gov - 'Guns' is you get paid whether you do/fix anything or not.

Otherwise; Why would 'Guns' even be part of the equation?

Biden was saying "let's rebuild America" but he made things worse because it was just giving money to Democrats and Dem strongholds (cities) , where it wasn't used anyway !!!

" Take urban transit. Biden has proposed a policy that, by some estimates, would allocate $165 billion for public transit (including urban rail — subways, light rail, and commuter rail) against only $115 billion to fix and modernize roads and bridges. Transit, which accounts for about 1 percent of overall urban and rural ground transportation, would receive nearly 60 percent of the money."

And right in front of his face was the massive massive failure of CA

New cost estimate for high-speed rail puts California bullet train $100 billion in the red

Biden just might HATE America

This is 90% of ALL government pork. Republicans do the same. It's not a partisan issue, it's a government issue. Tossing money around to friends is a sport both teams engage in.

This is not "Bothsidesism", this is just a reminder that the enemy is NOT the Democrat Party, the enemy is Government. Now here is the real "Bothsidesism", it's not just the Federal Government, but State and Local government as well.

Keep government restrained and limited and on a leash.

No, right now the enemy is the Democratic Party. They've been exposed as having set up an international slush fund for spending your money to cause destruction across the world in order to enrich themselves.

Hey, wait a minute. There is no local TV station WGAL!

Anyway, I blame DOGE.

I caught that too.

It is probably WMEN, but Reason's wokeness required feminization for "diversity".

(and, oh by the way, if there are infinite genders, why are there only two you transition to, and only two you can transition from?)

Leave it to a Democrat to stare at a piece of trash on the ground and complain about the woes of inconsiderate litterbugs, the declining upkeep of the city, the effects on climate change, and so on - all the while trying to assign blame and make impassioned cries for the State to step in and Do Something™ (cost to be determined later) - but never once does he bend down, pick up the trash, and put it in the bin.
