"In the next 12 to 15 hours, downtown Midland could be under approximately nine feet of water," Whitmer said in a news conference.

We've gotten a bunch of the same rains in IL. We just set the record for wettest May today, with a third of the month left to go. The two previous Mays that it passed to set the record were... 2018 and 2019. Climate change is real.

So what kind of political arsonists are involved here?

Evidence number 49,261,849 of how we are a failed state: continued failure of infrastructure and the powers that be to remedy the situation

Another round of tax cuts will fix it!

Apparently there are 1,688 high-hazard dams in the US as of last year. What would be amazing is a moonshot project to repair and replace all the infrastructure built from the 1900s to the 1960s that seem to dominate the American countryside. I don't have high hopes for that.

Aww, look at the Canadian thinking that other countries also have competent governments and a populous that doesn't require warnings to not inject bleach. :daydream:

I said I don't have high hopes! :p

 

Back in 2009-2011 the Canadian government (a Conservative one at that!) used stimulus spending to do huge amounts of working to aging infrastructure, it was called the Canada Action Plan. It was quite popular. I know that replacing bridges and dams isn't sexy, but if you put up giant signs then people might at least appreciate it.

People are already talking about rebuilding the town somewhere else once this is over, so I can only assume that the population is white.

 

 

Gotta love the euphemistic language in that one.

 

"Commingling with on-site containtment ponds."

 

Are we talking about poisonous chemicals contaminating huge amounts of flood waters, or boys sneaking over to the girl's side of the lake at night at Summer camp?

Check out this quote from him:

 

 

By that logic, if someone wants Walmart to fix a sewage leak, then people in the neighbourhood should pitch in and donate the money rather than Walmart using their profits to do so.

It shouldn't be in private hands but yeah anyway I agree

 

My understanding is that the private company generates electricity using the dam and then charges others for it. So if the dam needs repairs then the owner should charge more for the power and use the money to make repairs.
