This is such a microcosm of capitalism responding to climate change.
I think I had that shit in my bong in high school
I don't understand why it's so difficult to keep it algae free when we've had swimming pool technology solved for decades
They hired a pool company too 
Would actually be a very funny bit if they do nothing about the algae and just insist that the pool is clear.
The Emperor's New Pool
~~The Emperor's New Clothes~~
The water is blue.
The water has always been blue.
Just fill it with mercury already. Nice, safe, reflective mercury - perfectly safe, Qin Shi Huang swore by it, lovely man - and NO ALGAE!!!
The drinking fountain of the future, today!
he'll end up giving the algae 300 billion dollars
Folks, I spoke with the algae, very handsome algae, and we agreed to a ceasefire. Everyone knows I make the best deals, I told them, you take these $300b and agree to leave my pool. The algae packed their things and left. I saw them out, out like the losers they are. I said, you move now, I give you $300b, bing bing bong and you're gone, and can you believe it? the algae pulled out their suitcases and we had a deal.
The lonesome nanobubbler cranks his algae at night
Nanobubbler? You needed Nanobubbler to clean a pool of basic ass algae? Some contractors really made a killing off these dipshits
We need to create a Hexbear Contracting LLC and somehow squeeze lots of money out of the US government
I hope someone got a nice bag selling the government this nanobubbler.
If they make it too clean then they'll have to pay even more stopping folks from going for an evening swim
Put in some decoy 💩s
Now the paint is getting stripped away 
Blue paint on bottom of Reflecting Pool appears to be peeling away
Now the paint is getting stripped away
No biggie. Trump can dole out another 15 mil no bid contract to fix that.
how fucking hard is it to just bleach the water like it's an actual pool, or is it "supposed to" have some degree of life in it
edit: 1) that's what they're doing with hydrogen peroxide but also yes I guess it's supposed to have a bunch of birds n shit in it
basically there are ways to manage it but trump hears a factoid like "the reflecting pool isnt sealed and leaks X amount of gallons per day" and it sounds bad so therefore it must be bad and decides the last person was incompetent and it needs to be fixed
just one example of course but a lot of things in his administration are encompassed under the umbrella of this kind of thinking
Ah yes, another war they claim they won but actually lost big time.
Bulbulator
they have that blue pond dye stuff for exactly this purpose. it prevents algae and keeps your water blue, and it's nontoxic. it's used all over the place. it might look crass to "dye the water blue" but since when have they cared about looking crass?
New plan...
Labor: $500,000
Blue pond dye stuff: $14,500,000
it'd be more like $200 I think. A little goes a long way for algae-prevention.
or $200 for the dye, $20,000,000 for a consulting company to pay a guy to spend ten minutes pouring it in
If you really wanted it to look blue, why not just put a blue tarp in the water about a foot beneath the surface, then take it out after the festivities and cede the pool back to the algae?
