Arrr, matey! The landlubber city controller be sayin' that Los Angeles be plannin’ to part with a cool half-mil to hoist 2028 Olympics flags at City Hall! Aye, 'tis a fine way to swab the decks fer the games in four short years, ye scallywags!

Avast ye landlubbers! The grand spectacle of the 2024 Paris Olympics be but a memory, as the sails be set for the 2028 Games in the fair city of Los Angeles! But, lo! The City of Angels be not resting on its laurels; nay, they be hoisting Olympic flags at City Hall for a staggering treasure of $500,000! Aye, ye heard that right!

City Controller Kenneth Mejia, a savvy sea-dog, be barking about the ludicrousness of spendin’ such a hefty pile o’ doubloons when the city's coffers be in crisis. "Why spend on real improvements when we can deck the halls in Olympic finery?" he quipped on the black waters of social media. The townsfolk be up in arms, wonderin’ how hangin’ cloth can cost so much! "Who approves these bids?" they cried. A fine question indeed, mateys!

Now, Mayor Karen Bass has brought the Olympic flag to Los Angeles, fresh from the Parisian shores, proclaiming it a "no-car games!" Aye, good luck with that in a city known for its love of chariots! Public transit be the name of the game, though it be scarce as a mermaid's song in these parts. The Games be settin’ sail for July 14, 2028, and we shall see if LA can navigate these choppy waters! Arrr!
