Washington State Senator Douglas Eriksen, the MAGAt Covidiot, died yesterday. Yet another FAFO who's own stupidity did him in. Hopefully, he didn't infect too many people before succumbing to COVID-19.
It’s all significantly less than Ham’s projections to secure funding for the shït, oops I mean ship.
Let’s also not forget how he has tried manipulating things to avoid paying any sort of fees needed to cover the additional safety precautions (fire rescue and police) that are needed for this attraction. He tried selling the Ark Encounter to his church for a dollar (or other ridiculously low price) and when he was caught in that fraud he sold it back, also he lied about the Ark Encounter being a secular business to get tax money but it’s now a religious church to be able to discriminate in hiring.
Ham is even more delusional that we thought if he truly believes he can ever compete with Disney or Universal. Especially when it comes to repeat business. Heck, even Dollywood beats Das Boot 7 ways to Sunday, even with all of Ham's giveaways/freebies and other other fundraising schemes.
Ben Franklin called it. A religion that can't support itself and cries out for help is a bad religion.
Maybe Ham will be able to stop docking employee pay to pay for the TIF loan.
"Also — pay attention to this one, potential Ark Park staffers — all employees working within the TIF district (that is, Ark Encounter) will pay a 2% job assessment fee on gross wages. In other words, $2 out of every pre-tax $100 dollars you make will go directly to paying off the for-profit Noah’s Ark attraction."
My source for that quote might be a little sketchy. It's from a defunct blog on a christian owned website. : )
Christianity can only be a profitable business if people are gullible or stupid and taxes are not paid. Kids who never realize they are being lied to are ill-equipped to deal with life on Earth.
Saw it yesterday. Hugely entertaining. I know it says it in the article, but tack on an additional $334.2 million from the overseas market and you're looking at $587 million in 3 days...during a pandemic.
"Spring Break trips"

It's a one and done kind of place, even for the rubes. Conferences and busing in kids to make new converts are its only long term hope.

It’s all a sham. Lies from the very beginning.

The only good news for Ham is that the Dunning-Kruger demographic seems to be growing.

For such a mighty, divinely-inspired boat, it sure does seem to need an awful lot of mortal help to stay afloat.
OT - Kinda, since the topic is failures.
An article on Stacker lists the "100 worst action movies of all time."
Coming in at #73 is (no surprise) Left Behind: The Movie - 2000.
And coming in at #6 (drum roll please) is Left Behind - 2014.
To save y'all the time of reading through the whole list, the big winners were: Bruce Willis, Nicholas Cage, and Uwe Boll.
