The LIbRoLs desecrated the reflecting pool!

It's possible, algae is quite hardy. It can also spread easily through airborn particles. It's why fish tanks get algae even if they're brand new or just cleaned.

The stretch here is that there is no possible way that no one before Biden was having algae blooms in the reflecting pool.

I guarantee if it happened under Biden and Trump, it happened under Obama, it happened under Bush, Clinton, and all the way back to when it was built.

My old man kept a pool in our backyard algae free for 20 years. Why not dump some shock treatment in the pool? It's not like anyone but Jenny Gump is allowed to get into the pool so no amount of shock treatment is going to matter.

It's a serious question because I know you're a green thumb.

You think gas is $1.98 and that affordability is a "hoax". You think Trump was working as an undercover operative in the Epstein world to bring them all to justice. You think chemtrails are real.

And you're the crazy one because you possibly think a person could feel like they were born the incorrect gender. Not old CEO/Hotel though. That dipshit is on a higher plane than the rest of us.

They might.

I suppose my most logical guess is because birds might land on it?

That's gonna take a lot of shock treatment. My pool is roughly 10k gallons & during the summer requires 3 to 5 gallons per week, as well as sweeping/brushing it once a week. The reflecting pool was originally ~6.75m gallons; after the work done in 2010-2012, it's not quite as deep so the volume went down, but it's still probably 6.7 million. So you'd probably need 4000 gallons of shock a week (probably more, because the water temp would get warmer than mine, and you'll have birds crapping in the reflecting pool.

I was wondering about that. That seems minuscule for that amount of water. Assuming these are the geniuses who did the original work?
These are probably the geniuses working facilities maintenance that were pulled off their normal duties to go dump as much HP they had in stock into the pool.

Been offered to write any fiction lately, Tom Clancy? The amount of free rent @Torbee has in your little noggin is amazing.

He has free rent in my noggin? Does he also words right good?

Oh, and the other thing ... I was responding to someone who wrote directly to me, and roped Torbee into the conversation via a tagging ... so, you know, other than failing logically and literately, you nailed it, Costner.

Your first attempt to go full Costner for Torbee Houston failed spectacularly. Let's see if you can give it another go ... or just send him this video ...

The real problem from reports that I've read is that the previous pool would basically leak through the bottom and be refilled,and treated,but the water was turning over fairly quickly.

The new paint created a bunch of issues, it sealed the bottom, it is darker, thereby raising the temps, and to clean it and keep it clean is going to require a filtration system with drains and circulation. Drains and circulation will eliminate the reflections.

This debacle is what happens when one megalomaniac decides to do something without consulting experts, and when nobody has the balls to tell him it's a dumb idea.

As someone else said, this is the Trump admin in a nutshell, not a terrible idea,but an absolute amateur hour executions.
