HOW'S THE NEW LAB CONSTRUCTION GOING?

IM HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE LOCAL BUILDING CODES.

THEY SEEM UNNECESSARILY STRINGENT.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE HAVE TO GUARANTEE NO RAIN TOUCHES THE ROOF.

WHY?

NO ONE KNOWS.

BUT IF WE DONATE TO THE MAYOR'S CAMPAIGN, THE CITY WILL DESIGNATE THE ROOF A "HORIZONTAL WALL." AND THEN WE CAN BEGIN CONSTRUCTION?

NO, THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE FALSE HOPE PHASE.
