For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

That is such a neoliberalism thing that even the museum would be proud.
The museum is not pro-neoliberalism, though in that light if it does succeed in finding a new location it seems like a guarantee that this news article will become an exhibit in it
Oh. Still, the next exhibit they should have is dentures of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan kissing each other.
I'm pretty sure the actual museum of neoliberalism is in Cambodia
hmmm... surprisingly self-consistent. I guess stopped clock and all that.
"luxury apartments" will never cease to sound like an oxymoron to me, it's like "low-budget castle"
A new apartment building is going up in the middle of my small town. It’s “luxury” apartments.
Big black “stylish” (see also: identical to every other luxury apartment building in the last 5 years) building on top of a hill in the middle of a low-cost and simple rural community. It’s so ridiculous. It stands out horribly, and looks terrible. And it’s right next to a gas station.. so it looks even more ridiculous. I doubt they will get a lot of renters for it.
About a decade back there was a push to build luxury apartments in the town over. They built them all (few hundred units) right next to the landfill. I’ve driven past said landfill in summer and nearly throw up. I can’t imagine living next to that, and calling my place luxury..
The only thing that would be more fitting is Thatcher's grave catching on fire because of reduced safety standards, and no one's able to put it out because they ran out of piss
