Someone erects a stupid piece of scrap metal (not even deserving the classification of monolith) and it draws the attention of people apparently hungry for intrigue in their lives. No wonder click bait works.
On the other hand it's 'news' that is not related to:
o The Pandemic
o The U.S. election
o Trump
o China
o Russia
o Iran
o Imminent economic collapse
o Unemployment
o Rampant homelessness
o Racism
o White nationalist/neo-n@ziism ..or any number of other shitty things that have made 2020 the biggest dumpster-fire in history.
It's a giggle someone is having, at considerable expense I'm sure, that they're sharing with everyone else.
Harmless.
Fine with me. Give me my 24th century Starfleet-issued matter replicator powered by ubiquitos and free fusion and antimatter reactor power and a place to live and not having to work if I don't want to, and I'll find plenty of things to do. Also free 24th century Federation medical technology. Sounds like a utopia to me.
Feel free to keep hoarding your pointless gold-pressed latinum and kvetching endlessly about old fat politicians that aren't even relevant anymore. I'm sure Federation doctors will have a cure for Biden Derangement Syndrome, too.

The monolith was full of votes for Trump!
Biden is working with the Vulcans to bring us to a socialist future without money!
