Them GReens need to take a deep breath.. and hold it.. and hold it.. and ..
Nice little dig there, but it's much more representative of Communist systems, where Party insiders get extra perks that are officially forbidden to the rank and file.
Even in an anti green story, gotta have that gratuitous Bush slam.
Not to defend the envirowackos, but doesn’t every office building have these problems? i.e. I think it’s very hot in our large office building, but the girl next to me thinks it’s always cold. The office building is all windows; once the sun gets low enough it is blinding. Our cafeteria is on the bottom floor which requires a walk of about 300 ft, a 3 minute elevator ride and a walk of another 500 ft. Seems pretty normal to me.
An interesting and funny article about the stupidity of the greenies. Thanks for posting it.
The builing looks hideous, so it’s no surprise to find that the accomodations are little better than those of a stone age cave. Like 98% of liberal ideas, it’s a complete failure.
Gawd, is this stupid. And wasteful.
Is building miserable, non-functioning, inefficient buildings really green?
I guess if green = anti-human, the answer is a resounding yes.
Is this the same federal building that after construction was complete they discovered was in massive violation of the americans with disabilities act and other federal laws because the stairs entering the building did not have handrails, nor were there any wheelchair ramps?
The San Andreas Fault at Crystal Springs Reservoir (built right on the fault just south of San Francisco) demonstrates what is known as a "seismic gap." The two sides haven't slid in different directions since the quake of 1906 despite several major temblors since then.
Around the time of the 1906 quake Japanese seismologist Akitsune Imamura began a study of Japanese earthquake records and discovered that Tokyo was built on such a seismic gap. Starting in 1912 he began warning that a devastating Tokyo quake was imminent. No one paid attention. In 1923 the gap moved, killing 140,000 people.
Fewer than a million people lived in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1906. Now the region traversed by the San Andreas in that area is populated by many millions. I wonder what sorts of "green" seismic gap safeguards the new Federal Building has?
So what this is all about: Federal bureaucrats are suffering the fruits of the policies they want to force down upon the rest of us.
I’m trying to see a problem here... but no matter how hard I concentrate, I can’t seem to get beyond the satisfaction of a federal bureaucrat suffering in their little cubicle.
All federal office buildings should be built as well.
Concerning architects love of the design Frank Llloyd Wright has a building in Racine or Kenosha that was loved by the critics too. Despite the fact that it leaked like a sieve. Of course it’s much more important to work in a “green” building than whether it’s functional or not. (smirk)
See what the future has in store for YOU - if you allow the environmental radicals and Leftist elitists to gain ultimate control over your life.
Back when I went was a kid and teenager we were REALLY green. There was no air-conditioning in my grade school and high school except in the principle’s office. We didn’t get air-conditioning at home until I was ten years old and this was in the South. If these wimps can’t handle the weather in San Fran, God help them if they go somewhere it’s really hot.
