Kleptocrats' Money Used For Art Instead


In a demonstration that they can do something good, the U.N Human Rights Council spend foreign aid money on a ceiling mural. I say it's good because the more money spent on foreign aid, the worse the situation of those who receive the help. "Colorful stalactites" as critics are calling them, are a far better use of the money than if they had used it to line the pockets of kleptocrats, which is what it would have otherwise been used for.

I'd love to see that ceiling up close. I'm sure it ain't the Parma Frescos, but it's hard to tell if it's actually decent or not in that pic.

From the bottom it just looks like random splashes of color.
