ABKCO Music Inc., Richards, and Jagger are going to make more money on royalties.
Noem:
That is specifically at the request of the president, who understands that in the hot temperatures down here when something is painted black it gets even warmer and it will make it even harder for people to climb. So we are going to be painting the entire southern border wall black to make sure that we encourage individuals to not come into our country illegally
First: Night time.
Second: Rusted metal at the density that the border wall is would be just as hot. Rust generally lowers Solar Reflectance (SRI) and corrosion typically reduces a material's ability to reflect solar radiation thus causing it to absorb more heat.
Black paint has a relatively low impact on the SRI and thermal emissivity of rusty metal, especially when considering we are talking about human skin. I could be wrong but the cost to performance ratio seems poor.
Let's ignore things like long-sleeves or gloves for this assessment.
