A Deer, a Tank, and Peak Human Priorities
Seriously? A deer? In a clarifying tank? Are we really prioritizing this over, I don’t know, fixing the crumbling infrastructure thats probably why said wastewater treatment plant exists in the first place? Apparently not. Instead, we have a group of dedicated public servants – people whose job is to handle… well, you know… waste – diverting their considerable expertise to fish out Bambi after he decided to take an unscheduled dip.
Im sure the deer was utterly terrified, bless its little heart. But honestly, the sheer absurdity of it all! Imagine the paperwork! The risk assessment for rescuing a wild animal from industrial equipment! The potential for viral social media content featuring heroic wastewater employees and a very damp deer! This is what we’re celebrating now?
I bet there were meetings about this. Meetings. About how to best extract a bewildered, soaking-wet deer from a tank designed to clarify… well, lets not dwell on that. Meanwhile, potholes are swallowing cars whole and local schools are begging for supplies. But no, let’s applaud the noble effort of saving a deer who clearly made some questionable life choices.
It’s just…peak everything, isn’t it? A perfect encapsulation of our collective priorities. I need a nap.
