Trump administration blames Obama after Reflecting Pool turns green after $14M refurb
2h 21m ago in news from www.independent.co.ukTrump Team Dumps Bleach in Reflecting Pool to Hide Renovation Failure
18h 45m ago in politics from newrepublic.comTrue. I wonder how much he spent on having government employees go to the freaking local pool supply store and by shock at retail prices that literally did fuck all with the amount of water in the pool.
Algae has been a problem for that pool, which all pools suffer from not just this shallow oversized one. Previous administrations has looked into this and their contractors/experts told them that there are fundamental issues with the pool that includes foundational issues such as cracked piping under the pool and filters that ain't filtering right.
HOWEVER, This idiot decided that he would give a no-bid 14.2 million dollar contract to a contractor that doesn't even do pools, just industrial waterproofing, and then had them just seal some cracks and put on a coat of dark blue paint. And you have to realize that dark colors absorbs more light and that heats up the pool water even more and you what loves heat? Algae. Now with the use of tidal water with the bad filters and pipes that are still leaking and pulling in nutrients/junk with a even warmer pool, well that how you get lots of algae.
Maybe this is just Trump trying to get into the algae-based bio fuel industry in a 4d chess move but maybe he's just a moron.
What's another couple of thousands on retail products when you've already wasted 14.2 million.
