Why such the commotion over the eclipse on August 21st

in eclipse •  7 years ago 



Steemians have you wondered why there has been so much commotion over the eclipse thats to happen on August 21st

Can any of you recall the last time such a big deal was made about a Solar Eclipse? Well I dont know about you, but I can't so with that being said at first I didn't really care until I started seeing Department of Trans portion signs flashing it on the side of the highway during my drive to Kansas City Kansas over the last couple days every 15 to 25 miles there was a new sign flashing Eclipse August 21st 2017. Never did I see something such as this for the one in 2009 and even before that.

So curiosity got to me, there has to be some reason why people are making a big deal and low and behold I found one.. I believe this is the legitimate reason anyway please see below

Apparently its the first time that a solar eclipse has crossed over the entire country, in years.

So they I suppose wanted to capitalize off of it however they could, they being government/businesses/people, however I don't see any harm in it. With what I've said has anyone else noticed anything out of the ordinary that has been mentioning the Solar Eclipse?

      Yes sir, thats correct its definitely making some people money, not me but someone.
      =-=-=-=
      Actually I'm going to make a correction to this, I am making something from it by creating this post so it looks like unintentionally I joined the club of making money off of the eclipse. :(
