This is a matter of storms being able to supercharge themselves due to global warming. Don’t let people reframe this against the NWS. It is like Hurricane Erick the other week that jumped to category 3 out of nowhere, storms are being rapidly supercharged. This flood broke all sorts of records, so to phrase it as the previous commenter did is unfair.. In the near future, their ability to even predict as well as they did will degrade though, at which point you will hear more of ‘they never knew what they were talking about anyways.’ This lays the groundwork for that.

Don’t fall for it. While the NWS is definitely being gutted, there was nothing wrong with their reporting. They issued proper preliminary reports and warnings leading up to the tragic event. This wasn’t an issue of not being forewarned, it was an issue of a river rising over twenty feet in a rapid timeframe. These officials are once again denigrating scientists, and not once did they mention increasing funding for these services.

If only we had more warning. Although I guess that’s the plan for after the hurricane comes.

First heard this song in the movie Bronson back in the day and immediately searched it out. Such a great track.

According to this article, value pluralism. There is a single reference to concentration camps being out of scope, but it’s mostly a view from the clouds on the subject. Like if you were to describe Biden’s idea of bipartisanship.

Agreed, just wanted to see if the OP would admit to it as well. Fully expect either no response or a passing of the buck along the lines of ‘I want to help who need it, but people hypothetically could take advantage of the system so let’s just scrap the whole thing.’

And what about the less fortunate? The infirm and disabled? They can rot?

It always amazes me that the amendment made it exactly five words before it put a gigantic loophole in place that has the ability to negate the whole thing.

I took it as a disaster due to nuclear waste breaching containment due to high temperatures, they bring up temperatures of up to 200 degrees fahrenheit. The use of spark is likely because half the article is about the debate on ‘what is fire’ and nomenclature for these sites and its on the brain or whatever. But I could be wrong on that.

They are known for their electrical grid, that’s for sure.

At another, in St. Louis, responders once drafted evacuation plans for fear that the hot temperatures would spark a nuclear disaster at an adjoining landfill with buried radioactive waste near a community that now has dozens of cancer cases.

Turdles all the way down in this country.

Thanks for the 4 years tuition though!

I could see them barring them from walking for their degree, but to hold it completely is messed up. Bullshit that ‘the corporation’ overruled the faculty vote.
