Can America not do plumbing anymore? The toilets don't work on either their state-of-the-art warship the USS Ford or the Artemis spacecraft
Remember when Marcel Duchamp said "The only works of art America has given are her plumbing and her bridges"?

The medical system's stubborn adherence to the idea viruses like Covid are spread by "droplets" & not true airborne will eventually look as befuddled as treating patients with bloodletting—if our species survives long enough for that. But they'd all have to admit they've been wrong all along, so...

They are not even pretending anymore, all in on joining the last gasp of fossil fuel capitalism instead of actually facing the future
They are the opposite of progressive

How the hell did Environment Canada miss this wind storm? We just got power back at 5am, damage all over the neighbourhood with fire and city crews on a main street near us clearing downed trees
We had no alerts, no warnings for Nanaimo

Nanaimo being hit by a big windstorm right now, lots of power outages and debris, branches flying around
Be careful out there - still no wind warning

This is all warped fiscal conservative thinking, like cutting Coast Guard stations will save money - it won't
These councillors and gov staff recommending cuts to first responders hate anything to do with public safety
It just downloads response to other services
