Ask why a historical monument has to rely on advertising dollars to be repaired. Why the kinds of organisations that would put a garish ad billboard over the top are the ones with all the power in our society.

Just because the billboard is funding repairs doesn't mean it's good. It's emblematic of how much is being hoarded by capitalists.
