Massachusetts Officials Spend $500,000 on 'Safe Space' Art Installation for Squirrels While Parents Can't Afford School Lunches
Just drove past the new "public art" downtown in Springfield—a giant, glittering metal acorn that cost taxpayers half a million bucks. It's supposed to be a "safe space for urban wildlife to reflect on their emotional journey." Are you kidding me? I've got neighbors working two jobs just to put milk on the table, and our local geniuses are buying therapy for squirrels. This is what passes for common sense in Massachusetts. Fire the arts council and fund our kids' lunches.
