@5149jamesli: 🚨 California is about to spend $500 million to DESTROY a dam that supplies water to 600,000 people — in a fire-prone region. That's right — Gavin Newsom is making sure there's LESS water in...…
Sounds like some modern day ‘world’s fair’ shenanigans if u know what I mean…..
What a rabbit hole that is (world’s fair destruction)…..
Probably to continue clearing land for that high speed rail system, that just so happens to be in the same path the fires were.
They have a dream vision of California before white people with no non native species and no obstructions to natural water flows and no additional supplies to populated areas so that those areas will be forced to depopulate and nature in her pristine beauty can be restored, all watched over by totalitarian environmental police. AKA lesbians in khakis. Wildfires are their ally, not something to be resisted. They really think like that. Humans are a blight. Unless they’re primitive natives. Wallowing in dust. They want a living museum piece, a diorama, not a civilization.
I heard several years ago, while I was a resident of the Golden State, of a tiny island near Catalina which had been an old hunting lodge most recently for setup for disabled veterans of all people. Handicapped wheelchair access to hunting platforms is what I heard. Not actually implausible I suppose, but I never saw proof like photos or anything. This island was stocked with “game” like antelopes etc. The State of California closed the lodge and sent sniper teams in helicopters to exterminate the non native “game” to restore it to pre colonial status. I think it, like so much else there, especially those little islands, is totally restricted access now. I think they’re trying to get rid of the buffalos that were on Catalina since the 1920s too. It’s all a massively funded and staffed project by the way. Like hiring your own assassin. Idiots.
Dams aren't built to last forever. Either you fork over the money for a new one, grow the maintenance budget, or you tear it down.
What you don't want to do is neglect the maintenance and not plan for the future. That has catastrophic consequences.
Ya but what California does is create fake emergencies to get money to fill their coffers and get kickbacks. So instead of spending 5 million to repair the bridge, they’ll take $50 million to tear it down and 2 billion to build another one that won’t be built. See high speed train.
Arrest him!!!!1
Good thing that they have a surplus of other peoples money to piss away.
