The UN needs a BILLION dollars to renovate? WTF!
Quote:
The U.N.'s two 50-year-old buildings in New York City are basically falling apart — decaying pipes and crumbling ceilings are now commonplace — and the U.N. is seeking an interest-free loan worth more than $1 billion to renovate its headquarters.
Who will pay to fix the 1952 original plumbing, get rid of asbestos and raise security fences? Repairs would cost U.S. taxpayers about $600 million over 30 years.
Critics want the U.N. to pay for the renovation itself.
A question should be raised about where all the fucking money went to maintaining the building over the last 50 years.
