    You, I, and everyone else pay into to the fund. I don’t care what it costs, given the amount of waste by our government with so many other things.

    We will pay for it regardless and the cost of removing it will be way more then just sand blasting, repair, and repainting it in place.

    That’s a gross overestimation, to justify removing it. If facelifting it would cost millions, then, every water tower, bridge, and other municipal structure costs millions to repaint, which it doesn’t. Lies.

    They just need to give a call in to George Constanza at Kruger Industrial Smoothing for a bid.

    Well, first they would have to spend $900,000.00 on an environmental study, performed by a friend of the Director.

    Being Alabama, they'll probably replace it with a 140ft high billboard warning you about which day is the true sabbath.

    You must mean this bad boy... :cool:

    A million dollars to renovate it, lol... illegals out of the nearest Home Depot lot could do it for a few grand. o_O

    I equate this removal with the deliberate destruction of any historic symbols of national unity or progress... kinda like revisionist history. Remove any symbols which once promoted unity, and substitute divisive BS to further polarize the nation. By this time, dirty globalist swine know what works best to divide the population... so the rocket has to go, and some libtard or woketard BS will certainly take its place. All on the taxpayer's dime, of course... and if some political scumbag and his cronies can milk it for a few million while it's being removed, so much the better (for them). :confused:
