Harvey dumped on an area that is almost totally flat. The water, massive amounts though it was, was able to spread out. In this region of China, 10" of rain is forced through the rugged terrain to not only exponentially pile up as channels converge, but to be moved at high speed as it hurtles to lower elevations.

If that dam collapsed, it would be global economic collapse within weeks. More than 100,000,000 people would likely die, with numerous cities that are in the flood path contributing immensely to every supply chain across the world. It would mean the end of the CCP, sure, but are we ready for a global great depression? Not sure most would accept this trade-off. That being said, if it collapses, it isn't the fault of anyone but China.

What is so obvious in all of this is that the transgender ideology is aggressively anti-feminist. If both men and women competed in a single sport, there would be almost exclusively men in every single competition. This is the entire rationale for having there be separate athletics for men and women, so that women can still compete with their peers. If they all get mixed together: accidental patriarchy courtesy of the "progressives!"

Formaldehyde is a byproduct of burning forests. It's more long lasting than the other VOCs produced, which makes the smoke from these fires so nasty smelling.

There's no conspiracy here. Show me a high formaldehyde reading when there isn't massive amounts of smoke in the air and we'll have a conversation.

These data aren't considering absolute numbers at all: they're "positivity rates", meaning that the size of the group measured does not matter. So yes, not vaccinated individuals have the lowest incident RATE of COVID-19 positivity among all groups from 4/14 through 4/20. If you look at 100 people or 1,000,000 people, the rate stays true: the not vaccinated showed the fewest % of people who had a positive COVID-19 result.
