Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?

crazy how much this bugs me now that someone pointed it out. if i worked at the white house, i would find this ugly, but not as annoying as i do now. ignorance is really bliss bc they more you learn, the more you just walk around thinking "collar gap" and "kerning is off."

I had to check to see if this was real. It’s only the start of a tweet, but it’s real.
And the rest of the tweet isn’t better because they’re lying about there being any threat.
This is about the viral video you’ve probably seen with the drive-by pepper spray.
