It got this way because the stupid long 4 block piece never falls until it's too late.
You have to admit, the White House is pretty boring-looking compared to many others worldwide, or even your Congress Buildings. Some spires, domes, etc, would spiff it up. The British Parliament isn't much better, but at least it has Big Ben.
Shouldn't the comparison be to 10 Downing Street there?You have to admit, the White House is pretty boring-looking compared to many others worldwide, or even your Congress Buildings. Some spires, domes, etc, would spiff it up. The British Parliament isn't much better, but at least it has Big Ben.

I was a bit surprised to learn (to my embarrassment) that the West Wing and the Oval Office are relatively modern additions.

Depends, does the British Cabinet meet at Downing Street, or is it just the official residence, like 24 Sussex Drive in Canada where he lives, and nothing else? The White House is both residence and place of government, whereas in Canada 24 Sussex is just a house. What's 10 Downing Street like?
Quick wiki: 10 Downing Street. That does indeed seem to be a fair comparison to the White House for governmental function. And ya, sucks MUCH worse from the exterior.
I went to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the movie ended with Abe and Mary on the "TRUMAN BALCONY!!!!"
I said rather loudly, that won't exist for another 80 years.
...because a movie about Lincoln hunting vampires was CLEARLY striving for accuracy.

... my local store has avocados for 79¢. That means half an avocado on some toast is cheaper than a bowl of cereal (which, previously, millenials got in trouble for not eating).
I don't know where the hell this guy is paying $19 for avocado, but it sure as hell ain't here.

Everything in australia is 40 times as expensive because they have to ship it in. Anything they try to grow/breed there gets murdered by local wildlife.
Holy shit, 79¢ for an avocado?! That's amazing. They're like $1.40 around here, which really starts to add up after a while.
Sorry, but that's just Cali for you.

Ehhh even my local kroger's got em for $1.40, I just checked.
Maybe there's an avocado price war in Houston or something.
Though, it's common knowledge if you want the good prices on produce in Houston, you gotta go to the Fiesta stores in the barrio.

That is a sale price. An article I read said the national average is $1.25, but the price has been going up lately. Lots of demand.
Damn millenials.

Show em this article.
My wife loves them. She recently picked up a bunch at 25c/ea from the local Kroger, since they were going bad soon (i.e. ripe and perfect for eating).
Maybe just a breadfruit. He has to do some of the work.Next you're going to tell us you have a toast tree, too, Richie Rich?
