Small example of why the US economy is in the toilet

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Small example of why the US economy is in the toilet

Post by CoolBreeze »

I visit my old Aunt a couple times a week. While visiting today, I noticed something for the first time.... this:

A side street intersection in her neighborhood.

Let's take a closer look:

Eight... count em... EIGHT stoplights at a small neighborhood intersection. Not that long ago, ONE or two lights would have been fine. Now we need EIGHT? Do you know how expensive those things are? I looked all the way down the street for the next mile and every intersection had 8 lights each. I'm I the only one that thinks this is nuts?
