Its cheaper and quicker than paint and its made with a computer program that prints and cuts the vinyl to size and prints the required colors and graphics on a gigantic printer.<br /><br />Pay some wino's or druggies to put them on at a large profit margin and PRESTO, someone on the city council (or his brother-in-law) makes a killing! $$$$<br /><br />Set yourself up in business for about 14 K USD or get someone who has the equipment to print it for you, Mark it up some obscene amount then set yourself as an "approved" vendor and you have a business with a guaranteed "customers" who have no choice but to pay up for your crappy vinyl.<br /><br />Another end of the scam involves "licensing and inspection" of approved vendors when all the members of the City Council become aware of the amount of free money involved in under the table endorsements and wink and nod favors.<br /><br />Two words for you Nostradumbass, Big Dig!Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720528359843578475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-57107827062987194402013-01-23T21:10:34.970-06:002013-01-23T21:10:34.970-06:00No pink, muave and puce for the "festive"...No pink, muave and puce for the "festive" types?
