Tokelau All Star posted:According to my wife's dad it's somehow the fault of government bureaucracy that this privately-owned dam failed. They wanted to fix it, but the government wouldn't let them! "Government wouldn't let them" means "I wanted someone else to pay and demanded it and got told to gently caress myself".

Glenn is in the blue jacket, Mueller in the Galt hat. The two poor guys on the right are probably just trying to earn a living. What do you know?! the feds told the guy that his dams were poo poo for years and he basically said "lol gently caress you". quote:In a 2018 filing, regulators characterized dam owner Boyce Hydro as chronically non-compliant with regulatory requests to upgrade the dam. FERC wanted Boyce Hydro owner Lee Mueller of Las Vegas, Nev. to build additional spillways to reduce the risk of failure. The dam had six spillways at two sites.

Lee and Gary were probably jerking each other off that whole tour talking about Reduced Overhead Expenditures and Increased Profits. For the record: I have no problem with people jerking each other off, infact, I endorse it. "Possibility of catastrophe?" "How will it impact our gains?!" This is a loving diabolical joke. Cubone posted:this man is going to go to his grave believing he did nothing wrong, and no hell awaits him In true libertarian fashion he's completely convinced that if all those people didn't want to die or have their homes destroyed by floodwaters they would have bootstrapped themselves to higher ground. vandalism posted:I've been playing a lot of snowrunner.

Just sickening that sort of poo poo happens in 2020. In a just world the the courts would find him guilty of gross public endangerment and possibly negligent homicide. And then hang him if people had died. But we live in a capitalist utopia so he gets to have his cake and eat it and maybe have other peoples cake for desert as well. Yum!

I cared but then it turns out they are lovely earthen dams that were not maintained or monitored properly and the preventive preparation for the flood wasn’t done so this is just another case of inevitable late stage capitalism so lol
