He's threatening to withhold finding to the state over the Governor sending out absentee ballot registration forms.

Are they going to protest the evacuation?

Untimely comment aside, I hope they're safe. Has there been any casualties?

Goddamn what a fucking disaster this is going to be if excessive countermeasures aren't prepared quickly. This year sucks. My heart goes out to everyone in that region because shit is about to get worse for them.

a bunch of people dying or losing their homes means nothing to trump since it's not directly impacting him

the same people receiving mail in ballots does, so that's the most important thing. plus, they're poor now, so they mean even less than before

I live in the town where this happened. Both dams are privately owned.

No casualties (yet) but they did have to evacuate the local hospital. Displaced people without a place to go have been sent to a high school and the local mall for shelter but I wouldn't be surprised to see a COVID ourbreak after this, given that thousands of people are going to be packed into those places.

Nope. The big dam that broke used to belong to a utility company but it was sold to some rich asshole who lives on the west coast and has more money than the township so they've had trouble forcing his hand legally. The other was recently purchased by the local homeowners association and they were set to start repairs next month.

Dow isn't hard to lock down and the factories are mostly not operating right now anyway because of COVID restrictions. This might seem like a pile-on but it's probably the safest time for this to have happened.

so much for private ownership of utlities and infrastructure being a good thing.

never understood that mindset in capitalism. private owners have an onus to be cheap and cut costs. you cannot accept that.

Welp. I hope he was well insured.
Thanks for the first-hand updates, though @vigorm0rtis and I mean that.
~Hope all is well. 2020, the girt that keeps on giving. >_>

And also, ya, this is pretty bad.

All politicians need to be removed. Every single one. Americans act like is us vs them, and they're right. But it's not each other we should be fighting. It's everyone on capital hill.

its garbage. i watched a doc on it; they said we rated as a 3rd world country would.

in fact, the only thing I supported Trump on was his promise to rebuild infrastructure, which has not hapened.

we got a poorly, half-built wall though...

Yeah, remember that next time you get a glass of water from your sink. The idea that America is a 3rd world country is insane to me, we have flaws, absolutely, a lot of them, but there's nowhere I'd rather live. I love my country, and I love what I can do because of it. But just because there's political corruption and so much bureaucratic bullshit doesn't mean it's an awful place.
