Don't complain about the $1.8 million. $6 million is worth restoring the capitol. $14 million is a small price to pay for freedumb.
This is as opposed to the usual fair of the government always picking the lowest bid where contractors make their profit by just not doing whatever it was they were supposed to do. Real work costs reap money. Read up on the nyc ice rink.
>20% profit marginSeems pretty reasonable for contracting at that scale
>>534885423Someone in the trump administration is stealing that money LOL!
>>534885423It cost me $75k to have an inground pool in a few years ago, I can imagine what it would cost to fix a pool of that size.
>>534885522Painting concrete is not real work, it's shit cheapskates do when flipping a property. The pool is going to look like shit again in a few years once the paint starts chipping.
>>534885670Holy shit kill yourself. Get the hamster back on the wheel and use your brain for 1 second because that's all it takes to understand the scope and scale of real contract work>hur during theyre just painting You sound like all of the retarded Karens I had to deal with while I was in construction.
>>534885603Maybe you're missing the part where profit margins were written in to a no-bid contract, which is a textbook example of corruption. Why would you defend this banana republic bullshit?
>>534885627obviously, that's why it's a no-bid contract. It seems like US corruption in politics is what it was in Lithuania in the 90s.
>>534885825I remember reading about the corruption involved in building America's first trans-continental railroad in the 19th century. Basically they're willing to graft trillions to provide a benefit of millions, as a bad analogy. But at least back then, we got a railroad out of it.
>>534885792>use your brain for 1 second because that's all it takes to understand the scope and scale of real contract workDrain the poolShot blast the concrete surfaceMix and put down Epoxy/paintLet dry and fillShould be nowhere near 13 million dollars to just paint it, high end epoxy finishes should only cost at the high end the original bid. In no world should it cost $39 a square foot to paint something other than a mural.
>>534885792Oh, you're just retarded. Should have known from the flag. My point was that this is just cosmetic when the issues are much deeper. Real work to renew the pool would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. This is like a landlord painting over a moldy wall instead of spending to money to take drywall off, replace rotten framing, etc. I'm not saying it's not expensive to paint a few acres of concrete, just that it's stupid.
So, all the money Obama spent on installing basketball nets and Biden spent on tranny day instead of Easter was just fine though right?
Obama spent $375 million on a basketball court.
>>534885423For that cost they could install an actual mirror.
I voted for this! You lost tranny, SEETHE AND COPE TRANNOID YWNBAW LOL YOU'RE PROBABLY BROWN TOO TRUMP WON HAHAHAHA
>>534886318You lost tranny
>b-b-b-b-but but buteuthanize yourself migtardThis is the current nowThe amount of corruption this pedophile president is amounting just over a year now is beyond any way of finding excuses. Including his fucked up Iran war, just because he loves so much sniffing Netanyahu's unwashed underwearI hope a jew sells your miserable braindead soul to Amazon.
>>534885423Navy blue would look good. Any lighter shade would looks tacky.
>>534885423trumps jewish contractor friends made a lot of money and it looks like shitand its going to look even shittier when it starts turning green because trump fired/cut funding for all the agencies that would maintain the pool
>>534887029Why do you care? You dont even live here. I'm happy the President is making the Reflecting Pool look great again.
>>534887196it looks like cheap shit.just like the home depot fake gold trim the orange nigger is obsessed with.
>>534885812Every government construction project has profit as a line item, typically greater than 20%.
>>534886161The Lincoln memorial reflecting pool is nearly 8 acres in size. Based on area, that’s hundred of thousands of dollars worth of sealant and a million in shotcrete for materials alone.>use your brain for 1 second because that's all it takes to understand the scope and scale of real contract work
>>534887160>$14 million>20% profit :o>$2.8 million profit >made a lot of moneyYou have no idea how much the government spends on construction. I’ve seen a five million dollar boiler plant renovation balloon up to 25 mil. This is mouse nuts.
It's nice to have a big clean pool where to dump the bodies when the civil war starts. Glad this administration has its priorities in order, as usual
>>534888761Hows it gonna reflect if the bottoms all bright blue though?
>>534885423I can't believe that it's only going to cost $30 million for such a beautiful renovation
>>534885522>implying they aren't picking the lowest bid and just using it as an excuse to pocket more money
>>534885522>Read up on the nyc ice rinkI know that one. Trump scammed some contractors into doing it for free by telling them it would be worth it in publicity. Then he reneged on his word and took all the credit himself, going so far as to deny they had any involvement, thus denying them their money and publicity.
>>534885522Quality over cost tranny.
>>534885603doesn't sound very fiscally conservative
>>534889760An aesthetically terrible choice in my opinion. I just think it’s foolish to complain about the cost of this project (and to some extent the ballroom, though that seems to be the way dems wanted to play it) when there are too many examples to count of mismanaged federal construction projects. The Denver VA hospital construction came in almost $2 billion over budget and had to be taken over by the army corps of engineers. This is just a distraction to redirect attention away from Israel owning our country and the government selling off whats left to immigrants.
>>534885603this is a government contract, though. not your remodeling business.
>>534890397Fiscally conservative doesn’t sound very trump
>>534890435it’s average to low for government contracts
>>534885825I don't think there is an example anywhere in the world of what the Trump administration is doing right now! Is an open sewage and they don't even care to hide their tracks, most countries at pretend the embezzling was at least semi legal, they're straight up rug pulling idiots with crypto shit coins. I mean, how fucking low you have to go to scam the people who vote for you directly?
Was Trump's contractor picked for being better suited for the job or just more cronyism?I do think architecture in our capitol city and making giant monuments to show the glory of America is actually worth our tax dollars. Restoring and maintaining our heritage in these monuments if part of our country's pride and majesty.
>>534887098It looks navy blue. What the pool really needs is a chlorination system to stop it getting gross. It's not a fountain that's always flowing and aerating. Actually, installing some fountains around it that aerate and flow back in might do the job without chlorine.
>>534890412Ha, I helped build that VA. Crazy building. I remember when I first got started there they warned us about the wiring since the previous electricians they had fired sabotaged the site, and it lit one wall on fire at that point. Also remember when they shut down the site for a couple of days because they found a couple of buckets full of feces inside some walls because some retards working in the interstitial levels tossed them into the abyss thinking it would never be found.Also that first week when we put up some acrovyn wall covering it had to be torn down right after because the plumbing was done wrong under that wall Good times.
>>534885423I could have painted it for 1 mil.
