12 Million Dollars Worth of Ice, Seriously?

Pictures from the Mississippi Street Fair, the latest area of Portland to be encompassed by the gentrification process. Obviously a lot of outrage over the whole thing.....it makes it hard for the lower class to live in Portland. Hell, it makes it hard for people like me to afford a house when they start at half a mill.

So, in light of Woody Guthrie's recent birthday and the news of the 12 million dollars worth of ice we have been storing in running refrigeration trucks for the past two years, now unfit for human consumption. I decided to post a verse from "Christ for President". What is wrong with our culture? Our government? How many people would 12 million dollars feed or educate? Where are our GD priorities? I am heartbroken to hear of such a waste of money, energy....sick.

Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars
