I generally strive to protect myself from indignation, and considering the wealth of atrocities and social infractions in today’s world, I cannot comprehend why this particular incident has prompted me to put pen to paper, but the sheer ridiculousness has simply gotten under my skin.
In the lobby of the IMVS – a government facility - a flat panel television has recently been installed that does nothing more than display a bar graph illustrating the monthly water consumption of the main facility to all visitors. The screen is captioned with the catchy slogan “We’re not just committed, we do more…”
I would really appreciate an explanation as to why, against the backdrop of global warming and cuts to government services, tax-payer money has been spent on such a preposterous display of irrelevant information. How will this information impact any decisions being made by visitors to the IMVS? Why are government funds being spent on useless propaganda? Who was the mastermind that was able to justify the allocation of resources to such an endeavour while employees are losing their positions? And how did the facility manage to function entirely without water through out the month of February?
“We’re not just committed”. Indeed, *someone* should be committed…to a mental ward.
