    But how can the droppings make people sick? Wouldn't the droppings ha to dry out and become airborne to infect people?

    If the geese weren't there is it 100% clean? Of course not. But the
    odds are much higher when there's lots of geese dropping than when there isn't.

    I just can't get scared of goose droppings. I'm more paranoid about being inside a movie theater.

    But I don't doubt that Democrats have a to-do list that includes making goose droppings more dangerous than they ought to be.

    Well, I don't like the droppings messing up my clean home or getting in my mouth/eyes/nose.

    Movie theaters are far cleaner. But we don't go much anyway because Hollywood only produced crap.

    But only if they can profit from it.

    Side note: The reason we have so many geese is because of a large vacant lot in our town. It used to be a factory, but the company tore it down and gave the lot to the town who intended to use it as a event area. They even put in electrical outlets every so often to facilitate it.

    But wait! There are the evil PFAS chemicals in the ground. We need to fence off the land (making a nice quiet place for geese to congregate) then pay some company to dig it all up and put in "drainage" so that the evil PFAS stuff can be washed away.

    It's been years and the area **still** hasn't been used for an event.

    I took my kids to see the new lion king movie and the Regal Cinema smelled like a landfill. They don't take the trash out until the end of the day, I guess. It was disgusting and we sat in that room for 2 hours.

    That's what you call a piece of land that's "full of potential." There's a former IBM building near me that supposedly contains some kind of contaminant that "causes Parkinsons disease." I don't believe it, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to find out that they were right the hard way. (That's how they get us.)

    Ick! The theaters that we (rarely) go to don't have those problems. But I see your point now.

    Theaters that did that around my area wouldn't be in business too long. But, then, I don't see how they stay in business now.

    But for that, I woudn't care unless the gov't was paying for the clean up. Then I would have lots of questions for them.

    We have this other building that's been sitting vacant since 1981 (or something like that.) There was a fire that supposedly "released harmful PCBs," so the building just sits there. And that one is owned by the city.

    The city spent $53 million dollars on a cleanup attempt, but I guess that attempt failed. I don't know where they get those numbers or that money from, but our schools still have hvac, plumbing, and parking issues that "we can't afford to fix" and "there's no money for field trips" either. (Just lots of money to spend on unused buildings.)

    When I hear that, what I really hear is "We want to funnel tax dollars into this process of 'cleaning up' this building so that our buddys company can get the money and give us kick backs."

    They can do that with the schools because that spending is public record.

    Don't underestimate the power of greedy leftists. The schools waste millions too. Just not $53 million in 1 day like the city did :)

    But school funding is public record. So you can see where the money comes
    from and where it goes. That's opposed to the "business deals" that the
    gov't does with a private company.

    Or greedy politicians in general. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
