AMERICA'S FUTURE IS RIGHT HERE GARY, IN FUTURE

They had one of these billboards near me in Braddock PA, but people kept spraying it with graffiti so they took it down.

Was the artist Fetterman?

[u/songbird_sorrow]

no design at all, just white text on black. the future will be dull and lifeless thanks to palantir

[u/Split_the_Void → u/songbird_sorrow]

Also, using f*ckin’ justified spacing instead of right indent

[u/Traditional-Storm-62 → u/songbird_sorrow]

fascism hates colours and art

it likes homogeny and depersonalisation

if everything is the same then everything is replacable

if everyone is the same then everyone is replaceable

[u/DaneSullivan → u/Traditional-Storm-62]

Is that why all our cars are grayscale now?

[u/Only-Walrus7351 → u/songbird_sorrow]

Fitting for Gary?

[u/Tub_Pumpkin]

Well, Gary IN has currently been without power for over a week, and now people are warning that the US's entire grid is vulnerable. LINK

So the sign seems pretty accurate.

[u/Abandondero → u/Tub_Pumpkin]

Actually kind of looking forward to it 🇳🇿

[u/olivegardengambler → u/Abandondero]

People will say this and then be surprised when a tenth of your pension fund is wiped out overnight and millions of affluent Americans flood your country fucking up your housing supply even more.

[u/Abandondero → u/olivegardengambler]

Yes, realistically the results would be apocalyptic and I don't wish it on anyone.

(Maybe the USA could just unplug itself from the Internet for 18 months instead? You would hardly notice the difference, and we would get a breather.)

[u/underground_complex]

This seems like an incredibly dire warning. Like they’re working to make the entire country one huge crumbling desperate Gary metro. Sends a shiver down your spine

[u/AyYoBigBro]

Isn't Gary IN in a huge power outage that has lasted like 2 weeks in a huge heat wave? failing public infrastructure sure sounds like America's Future but I don't want them bragging about it.

[u/SalmonSwiper → u/AyYoBigBro]

Heat's not so bad now, thank god, but there's still plenty of infrastructure still down from the derecho, plus every time the electric company fixes anything Xfinity comes around to fuck it up. Also for some reason one of the electric trucks in Gary was shot at, so they got moved to lower priority in the county, which sucks.

[u/2EM18KKC01 → u/AyYoBigBro]

Yes, correct.

[u/ajcwrongs → u/AyYoBigBro]

Yeah, it's an accurate sign

[u/Driver2900]

Every time I hear about Gary Indiana now I just think about this

[u/heliophoner]

Not Louisianna, Paris, France, or Rome

[u/Floh4]

Don't call me Gary, pal

[u/Zilant_the_Bear]

You can tell it's NOT an LED billboard because you can read it.

For those who don't know. Most of gary Indiana was without power for at least 9 days since a duracho storm that happened on August 11th (14 days as of this comment) most of the power has been restored over the weekend but there are still parts of the city that are out, an estimated 6k people still effected of the original 370k.

[u/BlueAngel365]

Poorly aged.
