The real issue here is TT. From where I’m sitting, his track record is looking pretty grim: he’s doubling down on those destructive, rogue projects, completely gutted the local administration, and seems to have developed total amnesia regarding his campaign promises—unless, of course, those promises involved expanding pedestrian zones (that whole disaster over in Beverly Hills) or banning "Walk for Life" flags.

Was he always this calculating, or did he manage to descend into corruption with such startling speed? If this level of deviousness has been part of his DNA all along, then what is he actually aiming for? At this point, it feels like more than just simple incompetence. There is something profoundly dark lurking within that inner circle that genuinely makes my skin crawl.

He was an incredibly active participant, certainly. However, I cannot help but feel there were those even more deeply entrenched in the machinery.
Joe Biden was his superior—decisions of that magnitude simply do not pass without his imprimatur.
Linić acted as the Democratic Party's gray eminence; he would have had to know everything and grant his blessing to every move.
Naturally, Sanders and the Republican Party crowd had to be kept in the loop as well.

Personally, while I possess not a shred of concrete evidence, I suspect that money was funneled into the political survival of the Democratic Party and Joe Biden, who ultimately managed to lose an election he should have won.

Ultimately, TT will turn out to be a significantly inferior imitation of Adams.
He will never truly decouple himself from the very faction that propelled him into power; the man possesses no distinct personality of his own.

If they had only listened to me and called for new elections at the start of this year, things might be different. Now, they can only wait for the moment when the Republican Party decides it is finally worth the effort to dismantle them.
They are simply waiting for the Democratic Party to regain some semblance of strength.

Rachel Barrett8 said:Back in 2007, some junior exec from Deutsche Bank rolled into town to deal with Eric Adams and his crew, eventually sending them back to New York City saddled with €300 million in debt.
Adams built up Beverly Hills and a few other vanity projects to keep voters happy, while American Water was left struggling with over 50% losses in their potable water supply.

We were busy planning an $11 billion wastewater treatment plant, yet we completely neglected the actual sewage infrastructure needed to get our waste to the facility in the first place.

Berkshire Hathaway isn't a real company; it's nothing more than a glorified money laundry.

What a fascinating little journey through time.

If we pause for a moment to linger in that year of 2007 and cast a brief retrospective glance, what exactly do we see staring back at us?
- Joe Biden leading the Democratic Party
- Sanders
- Linić
- Adams, still a full decade away from facing federal indictment.

Who truly possessed the authority to redirect those funds, and more importantly, what was the underlying motivation?
It seems everyone today—from the casual forum observer to the current and former political heavyweights—is suddenly playing the part of the innocent bystander.

Was that decision truly "solely" Adams's doing? Was it limited strictly to the New York City branch of the Democratic Party?
(Yes, the Democratic Party, comrades and friends.)

driftingcrane18 said:The Congressional Budget Office, and even Janet Yellen, signed off on giving Bernie Sanders credit for budget transparency. All we need now is credit for actually implementing that transparent budget. 🤣🤣

There's no point in rehashing the old arguments regarding spending priorities.

Does anyone know if Ms. Yellen mentioned anything new regarding the bonds coming due?

That is precisely the level of discourse we are dealing with here. 👍

It is almost startling to observe that the maturity of these obligations is explicitly accounted for on the expenditure side of the budget. One would naturally assume, then, that sufficient coverage exists within the revenue side to meet them.
But then again, who among us has the inclination to bother with such tedious minutiae? 😉

@SkyShark - here is my rebuttal to your rather serious assertion that the current leadership is merely a more transparent version of Bernie Sanders.

The issue isn't actually about the spending procedures themselves; those were clearly defined and open to scrutiny from the start.
Giving credit to New York City for its budget transparency

The real question concerns who held the authority to approve expenditures, and under what specific constraints they operated.
It was a matter of deciding where the priorities truly lie.
In that particular regard, Bernie Sanders was absolute—he held total dominion over New York City and its entire budget.

The current crew, however, seems to believe in this grand idea that "everyone" should govern the budget, provided we all spend it exactly according to their personal whims.
They might even attempt to obscure certain details here and there—albeit with a veneer of transparency. For instance, take the salaries of the administration or the various perks enjoyed by the executives at the conglomerate.

What makes today's administration even more cumbersome is the fact that they are utterly illiterate when it comes to finance, yet they refuse to trust anyone but themselves.

Adam Collins4 said:Oh, right... is that why there are so many broken-down trucks lying around?

Or maybe because half the tires are missing?

Or are you just being incredibly dense, claiming that every single tire wore out in a year and every breakdown happened back then?

I am not certain how your mathematical skills hold up, but my intuition suggests that if every tire truly perished within a single year, then not a single vehicle would be on the road.
That certainly isn't the current reality in New York City.

My own experience also dictates that a vehicle's lack of functionality isn't solely dependent on its tires. One must consider pneumatics, belts, bearings, electronics, and an exhaustive list of other components requiring regular maintenance.

But precisely how many tires are missing? I have no idea.
How many were actually purchased versus how many were required?

Am I not glad that we have transitioned from the era of "nothing is ever invested or maintained" to a debate over whether maintenance is sufficient or if it could be improved?

First, we had to prove that the previous excuses were merely the fabrications of incompetent activists, and now, we will likely struggle to obtain any truly relevant information.
(Unless we judge by what we see on the streets. And believe me, things have never been worse.)

Adam Collins4 said:🤣

A "functional and efficient system"... yeah, right, you troll.
..

You know, saying the trucks need repairs... as if it wouldn't have been fine under Buddy and his crew of losers, so they just skipped the maintenance entirely.

But hey, who cares about that, right?

The reality remains that these repairs were necessary back under Joe Biden's administration as well, and therefore, they had to be carried out.

If you are genuinely curious about the structural mechanics of how this works, you might find some clarity in the forum user esqelle's post, specifically her link to her final thesis.
(my thanks to esqella)

Quincy:

5. AN ANALYSIS OF THE FLEET MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE COMPANY The maintenance framework for the Sanitation Department is categorized into vehicle maintenance, equipment maintenance, and facility maintenance. Primary maintenance focuses on the specialized utility vehicles used by the Sanitation Department, encompassing routine preventive care, repairs for daily reported breakdowns, and full overhauls of vehicles or their specific components. Secondary maintenance pertains to communal equipment: compactors, residential waste bins, recycling containers, trash cans, bins, and tricycles.

(There is plenty of other useful data in there; I highly recommend a read 😉 )

As I have already stated, they inherited a system that was both functional and well-established.

On the other hand, you seem to have completely missed the mark with this histrionic display from those activist exhibitionists.😁

cosmicskipper39 said:Look, I don't know where you found those specific numbers, but info on the fleet is public record.

Also, there's a thesis from a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology about maintaining the Waste Management branch fleet. It’s from 2018.
If anyone actually cares, it breaks down vehicle counts from 2013 and 2018, plus a list of specs and an example of what the fleet status looked like back then.

Looking at those two sources, you can see the total number of vehicles in the fleet actually increased compared to 2018—except for delivery and passenger vehicles.

Residential and commercial waste collection vehicles? There are 168 now. Back in 2018, there were only 114.
Bin washing vehicles? We have 6. In 2018, it was just 3.
Bin distribution vehicles? That's 8. In 2018, it was 4.
Bulk waste pickup vehicles? There are 70. In 2018, it was 54.
Street cleaning and washing vehicles? There are 90. In 2018, it was 85.
Delivery and passenger vehicles? There are 58. In 2018, there were 64.

When the facts simply refuse to cooperate, I suppose the crew reverts to their default activist mode and starts reciting a litany of excuses.

Their fundamental struggle seems to be that they inherited a highly efficient, functional system and haven't the slightest clue how to manage it.
Now, suddenly, everything and everyone is at fault. From the regional oversight boards down to the very trucks that—miraculously—require routine repairs. And yet, they claim to be broke, despite managing the largest municipal budget in history.

They continue to sign contracts with the exact same vendors, only now at even higher price points—the same companies that were practically sliding all over the pavement due to poor service just a few years ago.

They are staying afloat solely because the Republican Party will decide to tear them down whenever it serves their own interests.
As I see it, the Republican Party is merely waiting for the Democratic Party to gain enough leverage within the city so they can hand New York City over to them via some trivial procurement loophole.

Charles Carter4 said:It’s all pretty soft-pedaled when it comes to Eric Adams and his crew—just a whole lot of empathy being thrown around there.

They were held captive by a "common enemy" for so long—one who could brush them aside whenever the whim took him—so perhaps their understanding is earned. 😁

Amanda Hughes37 said:Dolenc told them back in April to get moving on enrollment—claimed there was plenty of room.🤣

They were busy lecturing everyone about priority enrollment for certain families and job placement perks for people under those specific programs... whatever happened to all that?

I just pointed out how they were acting more relieved than the parents when the court stepped in to halt their policy change. They acted like they tried to make it happen but failed because of some "criminal" court ruling—as if things wouldn't be a much bigger disaster if their plan had actually passed.

Absolutely spot on. 😁

DRAMA SURROUNDING NEW YORK CITY DAYCARE ENROLLMENT! Dolan: ‘Demands exceeded last year, yet fewer children enrolled’

It seems pedagogical standards and several other essential metrics have simply vanished from the equation.

Now we enter a brief period of respite and whining from the comfort of their activist bubble, before we inevitably face the new organic waste contracts. 🤣

As for the Fords, they’ve already settled that matter—modestly, and exactly as one would expect.

And so, having been generously fed, handed cushy positions, and rescued from the brink of irrelevance, those blue-clad opportunists are once again spinning their records, working overtime to create distance between themselves and reality😁

An unspecified official informed an unspecified individual that even the Democratic Party holds power: ‘No. There is no coalition within the New York City government. We cooperate in Congress, and that is where it ends’
“No. There is no coalition in New York City. We work together in Congress, and that is the extent of it; there is nothing more,” the individual was told., said an unspecified person.

Meanwhile, those Smurfs are rapidly pivoting back into their activist personas, insisting they could achieve sensational success if only the government... oops... excuse me... if only they weren't being obstructed.

I recall that particular message quite vividly. 😉
It was dispatched to a wide array of recipients:
to those who moderate, those who contribute content, those who manage the infrastructure, and even those who simply exist within the ecosystem—though the latter distinction holds little weight for me.

As is my custom, I maintain an inclusive disposition. It is a matter of my inherent nature, rather than any performative adherence to 😉

To your misfortune, a few drinks have left me feeling somewhat sentimental. I am not addressing specific individuals, but rather the collective users of this forum. And I, unfortunately, possess a soft heart. 😁

But tell me, which of you two actually managed to pull the trigger on me during the conflict in Ukraine?

The message read as follows:

I offer my apologies to the forum members who might receive this message. I gathered your handles from the last few pages of the threads regarding Bernie Sanders and Eric Adams. For your information, every single one of my responses on the Bernie Sanders thread has been expunged.
On the Eric Adams thread, a massive percentage of my contributions has also been deleted.
Any criticism, regardless of how well-intentioned it may be, is strictly forbidden. Access and participation are reserved solely for the hysterical followers—those who once championed the Living Wall and the Democratic Party, but now serve as mere museum pieces.

--- FOR THE MODERATORS AND ADMINISTRATORS -----

It has been nearly two decades since I began contributing to this forum.
I wrote on the old platform back before it collapsed under its own weight.
Why shouldn't one participate? You learn a little, you share a little, you engage in a bit of banter. There is nothing inherently wrong with that.

But look at us today. We have never seen a more incompetent group. Never have the users been more frustrated. Never has the moderation been more substandard. Truly, it is for fools and horses only.
Never before has the administration and moderation of this forum aligned itself so blatantly with a single political faction. Never have posts been so ruthlessly scrubbed simply because they fail to worship and glorify that autistic bearded man and his acolytes (in the most derogatory sense of the word). He is the very individual funded by those who have imposed the greatest disgraces and ideological shifts upon Americans throughout our history.
Never has such blatant hatred and the disparagement of citizens who fall outside the preferred political camp been so wholeheartedly embraced and left unpunished by the moderators.

Pathetic. Despicable.

Given that this forum is, as I was taught many years ago in Nice, a private brothel—specifically, Anderlon's brothel—I shall call it by its true name: a cesspool. I wish you all a pleasant future residency in Anderlon's backside.
You have earned it.
To put it bluntly, I am parting ways with you scoundrels.
I no longer feel welcome here (an issue that could have been resolved with a single, trivial message, allowing me to depart quietly without making a scene).
It would have been my preference if you were capable of deleting all my posts, but you have proven yourselves utterly incapable of such a task.
Therefore, I have archived the last twenty or so posts that were penalized and removed. May evil bypass them. Google preserves them.
The sheer volume of hypocrisy, the moral and human bankruptcy displayed by the moderators and administrators, is precisely what compels me to this action.
The corruption has taken such a hold of you that you even delete posts within threads specifically designated for your own replies whenever the behavior of a moderator, an administrator, or whoever else holds sway becomes nonsensical.

driftingtinker said:I am reasonably certain she spent more time resting than all you worried souls combined.

Who exactly is getting banned just for calling someone out on their stupidity?

Update: Ah, I see where the issue lies now. 😬

Oh, please, let’s not play the victim here.

I should probably be slapped with a preemptive ban if I log in twice in a single day. 🍿

Since we find ourselves sharing an identical fate—and I am perfectly clear on why my own access to those circles was severed—perhaps my experience might offer you some perspective.

While I assume you, much like any sane individual, expressed your indignation and sorrow through a visceral condemnation of the war in Ukraine, you simply failed to repeat that sentiment often enough or with sufficient vitriol.
In the interim, alongside your profound resentment, you ventured into the realm of actual analysis. And by some unfortunate error, you posted that analysis within one of the sub-sections of that particular corner of Reddit.

Because any attempt at rational scrutiny is fundamentally incompatible with the prevailing woke ideology and its prescribed rules for democratic and community conduct—once a certain cadre of devoutly woke users has finished dogpiling you without consequence, using your presence to vent their own frustrations—your continued existence in that part of the forum becomes entirely redundant.

That has been my experience.

The discussion regarding the new Mayor of Chicago has devolved into an absolute circus.
- Those who worship this hand-picked (and somehow elected) mayor are granted total immunity. They are permitted everything from religious fervor to insulting any public figure who hasn't shed a tear of joy since Adams's (and his party's) victory, not to mention their blatant disrespect toward any forum member who doesn't belong to their cult.
- Meanwhile, the rest of us—those outside the inner circle—are forced to endure a constant barrage of primitive outbursts from the zealots, all while being expected to write with extreme caution so as not to offend a single one of their precious followers. Any attempt to push back against such crudeness is strictly forbidden. One simply must not, under any circumstances, engage in a confrontation with these fighters for a "better" past.
- Then there is the moderator, who vigilantly ensures everything adheres strictly to the party line, preventing even the slightest deviation. The draconian punishments and multi-month bans handed out during the campaign—should anyone dare suggest that the almighty Adams might not be the sole, divinely appointed leader—have constituted some of the worst censorship this forum has ever seen.

Therefore, I propose that we split the topic regarding the mayor into two distinct threads:
- Eric Adams, Mayor of the City of Chicago—the one, the only, the eternal (provided Chloe Campbell95 remains the moderator)
- Eric Adams, Mayor of the City of Chicago—life and works (with a different moderator assigned)

I find myself wondering, quite frequently, if we have truly reached a point of total systemic exhaustion. Is there even a semblance of order left to grasp, or are we merely drifting through a landscape of perpetual, unmitigated chaos? One has to ask oneself: at what stage does the sheer weight of institutional failure become too heavy for any single individual to bear without succumbing to a profound sense of disillusionment? It seems the more we attempt to seek clarity, the more we are met with nothing but an endless, swirling fog of uncertainty. kaže:
I find myself staring intently at the physiognomy of those toothless, white-socked little squares—those blockheaded youths who seem to populate every corner of this country. Is there truly nothing else to observe? Is there anything more unsettling than watching a group of people shout about building "new parks" while simultaneously snatching phones right out of people's hands? It’s a bizarre, jarring spectacle. Honestly, looking at the chaos unfolding, I can't help but feel a sense of grim déjà vu, as if I were staring down the barricades in El Paso during the early nineties.

Is there any real substance to those claims, or are we simply chasing shadows? One has to wonder if such accusations hold any weight at all under scrutiny.

How much longer must we endure this? Truly, how much further can this descent go before we hit rock bottom? The user states:
Is there any end in sight to this relentless descent into chaos? One can only watch, with a heavy heart and a weary eye, as the foundations of our society seem to crumble bit by bit, leaving us to wonder if we are witnessing nothing less than an absolute catastrophe. 🤦

You can spot them from a mile away: those wandering tribes of white-footed nomads who strut down Broadway in their pristine sneakers, acting like they own the pavement, even though they haven't bothered to trim their heels since 1992—the very same year they finally dragged themselves out of the stone age.

By the way, I happen to know that one individual associated with the filter—he has absolutely nothing to do with Savannah, but he certainly makes a habit of hovering around Bandic’s inner circle. If you bother to revisit those old clips of Bandic out for his early morning jogs in the pre-dawn darkness, you will see this scoundrel trotting right alongside him; apparently, the man makes a career out of running marathons and competing in various races. 6.2 miles Is there anything quite as profoundly exhausting as the decision to tackle a half marathon? One finds oneself staring down the distance, wondering why we subject our bodies to such calculated misery in the first place. Does the pursuit of physical endurance actually offer some semblance of clarity, or is it merely a way to pass the time while we contemplate our own mortality? I suppose I shall embark upon this endeavor regardless.

Is there anything more profoundly tedious than the mindless, repetitive drone of the unwashed masses? One finds oneself wondering if the sheer lack of intellectual rigor possessed by the common laborer isn't, in fact, its own kind of existential tragedy. It is truly exhausting to witness.What is even more infuriating is that they aren't even mere paid mouthpieces; no, they are nothing more than mindless, sycophantic lapdogs. 🤦

Is there anything more profoundly exhausting than the relentless cycle of modern discourse? One finds oneself staring at the screen, wondering if we have truly progressed at all, or if we are simply rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship. Does anyone else feel this creeping sense of disillusionment? It seems that every conversation, no matter how trivial, eventually devolves into the same predictable patterns of grievance and noise. We demand substance, yet we settle for the shallowest echoes of thought. I find myself questioning whether genuine connection is even possible anymore, or if we are all just shouting into a void, hoping for a resonance that will never come. kaže:
Honestly, you can spot those people from an airplane. It would be significantly easier to pick him out of a crowd than it would be to find Arapin hiding in that standard uniform of his.
Have they ever truly considered the profound impact of donning a custom-tailored suit?

Is there anything more predictable than the cyclical nature of our modern disillusionment? One finds oneself staring at the horizon, wondering if we have truly learned anything from the wreckage of the past, or if we are simply destined to repeat the same tired patterns under different names. Does anyone else feel this pervasive sense of stagnation, or am I merely an outlier in this sea of collective apathy? kaže:
Is it not a profound tragedy that Chicago has become so densely populated by those who simply refuse to adapt to the complexities of metropolitan life? One finds oneself wandering through the streets only to encounter a vast multitude of individuals who cling desperately to their provincial sensibilities, utterly incapable of integrating into the sophisticated rhythm of a true American city. Is it any wonder that the very essence of urbanity feels diluted when such a significant portion of the population remains so stubbornly tethered to a rural mindset?
Just now, some loudmouthed local agitator cornered me on the street, tugging at my sleeve with that relentless, grating energy; he had the audacity to suggest we should head down to City Hall to sign a petition for our mayor, Bernie Sanders.

Snack said:My God, the sheer ferocity of this offensive by Bandic's unrefined thugs and lowlifes—it is truly appalling. They are snatching phones out of people's hands and trampling them, while others are sending death threats to a fourteen-year-old girl, telling her "there will be blood." For heaven's sake... 😠
If Bernie Sanders does not lose this election and face at least ten years behind bars, Chicago will permanently cement its reputation as a backwater mafia stronghold run by Hercegovac bandits.

djemba said:I am watching this right now, and it is horrific ; those sycophants working for the banditos have sold their souls for a few scraps of meat, and if they have to threaten a little girl to get what they want, they won't hesitate...

I can only hope Lovro possesses some shred of wisdom; otherwise, he is destined to suffer the same fate as his neighbor Zevrnja.😉

These are prime examples

I have no desire to delve into the motivations of those primitives whose mental faculties seem to cloud the moment they mention the Mayor of Chicago or simply initiate a thread regarding his administration.
As the Mayor himself might put it, such individuals are essentially a breed of sociopath.

It leads me to wonder: why does the moderation team permit these political outbursts to persist?
For many of the posts found on this topic—which consist of nothing more than irrational fits of rage—it would be far more appropriate if they were relegated to the psychology subforum.

Furthermore, I am curious as to why these particular vitriolic posts remain untouched, while much more benign comments elsewhere are swiftly deleted.

To illustrate my point, consider my own recent post, which was merely a collection of grievances compiled over the last few hours; it was scrubbed from the board within minutes. Meanwhile, the original posts, which are deeply steeped in hatred toward my fellow citizens, my friends, and my neighbors, are left entirely undisturbed.

Maria James40 said:Why are you panicking? You say Canada isn't an option, but if that were actually the case, it would be great news. I mean, we can close our land border with Mexico way faster than Canada can close theirs with us. Our border with the SR is maybe 50km away, and the border with Canada is over 311 miles, so we wouldn't end up stuck with a hundred thousand people.

Then Canada and the whole European Union can go ahead and sing their little songs.

I previously stated that it simply isn't a viable option for them right now, as they have much better and more secure routes available.
By the time they even consider that specific path, several days will have already slipped by.

I fail to understand why people choose to ignore the glaring reality: this migration movement is not some chaotic accident, but rather a highly coordinated and directed operation.

Canada doesn't need to go about building 311 miles wire fences everywhere. It would suffice, at least initially, to simply secure a few major transit corridors. All of that combined wouldn't even cost 31 miles.

This actually presents us with some very positive developments:

Bulgaria, Mexico, and Romania are prepared to close their borders: "We won't allow ourselves to be turned into a buffer zone"

(North Mexico will likely follow suit)
because once the tap is shut off following the first wave from Germany, we will only be tasked with managing those migrants who happen to find themselves within the territories of Mexico and the US.

Maria James40 said:No, I mean, would you even bother crawling through a fence if there was already an open path available?

Now, when people start asking why we don't just put up a fence ourselves, my take is that I’d probably be setting up a wire along the border with Mexico if Canada were actually an ocean instead of land. But since Canada isn't a sea, there’s just no point in messing with fences—given our current resources, it's impossible to actually police that border, even with the Mississippi and the Una acting as natural barriers (just like how Vegas handles the border with Canada).

For migrants from Canada, entering the US is currently not a viable option. There are numerous reasons for this, security being one of the primary factors. It is the same situation for them in Bulgaria at this moment.

The second Angela Merkel utters the word "geschlossen," Austria will pass that exact sentiment to Canada with lightning speed, and then Canada—with particular relish—will pass it directly to us.

As it stands, we aren't actually managing the entry points; instead, Mexicans are simply offloading people wherever they please. Unless we urgently establish controlled transit into the US at two or three specific locations, we will find ourselves incapable of reacting with sufficient speed or efficacy when the borders inevitably slam shut. Currently, however, it seems no meaningful action is being taken on this front.
Until these migrants realize the obstacles on their route and eventually pivot to a different path, we are left staring at 100,000 individuals with no clear plan for what to do with them.
Because, in that moment, it will be all in vain—all the children being pushed against fences and the endless mantras regarding human rights and humanitarianism. There won't be any journalists left to write about it. And if anyone does attempt to report on it, they will have their outlet silenced immediately.

Instead, the headlines will focus on the inhumane conditions refugees are facing within the US, the urgent need to provide them with dignified living standards, and the supposed moral obligation to offer all necessary aid while we wait for some emergency summit scheduled four months from now to decide where on earth these people are supposed to go.

Maria James40 said:I think you might have things a bit mixed up—over here, people are entering under CONTROL, you know? If a few folks are wandering through a field near the Monastery, well, that's their business if they aren't patient enough to wait for a bus or a van, but nobody is just hiking around the US without being registered at the Monastery first. Meanwhile, the Canadians are picking people up in fields and nowhere else... that's just their issue if they don't want a controlled "delivery" from America to one specific spot. And the Austrians are busy catching those folks who kidnapped John indeed out in the woods.

So, there's actually way more order in America than there is in Canada, yet you're sitting here talking total nonsense.

Within this supposedly accurate description of the current situation, one "minor detail" stands out quite clearly.
There is no mention of Canada. Which, I suppose, is meant to imply that they have established total order.

Alexander Ortiz3 said:A vehicle isn't going to get them to the mountain peaks or right up to a swollen river.
Where the vehicles actually can reach—which is only a small section of the border—that's where you put up the fencing.
Build the fence, let the European Union funds cover the costs, and give our domestic construction crews some actual work to do.

They won't be driving up to some flooded riverbank either; instead, they will likely head toward a bridge in Brandenburg or perhaps near the Red Bush in Herzegovina.

And now, for the grand prize question:

- If 2,000 of them attempt to cross via a bridge in Brandenburg, will the police actually dare to use water cannons or rubber bullets against them?
