Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
- 4th of July Texas Flood
You could just read what was posted a few posts before yours with links to their archived website. Or you could just surmise based on your experience at some random camp 50 years ago. Which is best? Who knows?- 4th of July Texas Flood

Wait 'til more people figure out all the work their children have been putting into school so they can go to med school is for naught because there's no longer any gov't. student loans available. I'm not sure if that'd go into news or CR though so...- 2025 Thread of the Rains
I don't think that's the case anymore. Either way many people have stopped using it over the years -- or if they're less than 50 years old they may never have used it -- and the site is antagonistic at best towards its users and real information, anyway.- 4th of July Texas Flood

https://www.kxan.com/investigations/federal-forecast-concerns-surface-in-texas-deadly-flooding-debate/ This strikes me as extremely fucked up in a multitude of ways. 4 hours later. Posting it on Facebook and pretending that's where people get their news.- 4th of July Texas Flood
I've been thinking a compare and contrast with the emergency response between the floods, the CA fires and Uvalde would be interesting. But maybe not. https://www.kxan.com/investigations/federal-forecast-concerns-surface-in-texas-deadly-flooding-debate/- 4th of July Texas Flood

I wouldn't/don't and that's not what I said. I'm saying significant fault lays at the state's feet for this and so many other natural and environmental tragedies. There's actual shitholes run more professionally than Texas. Governments have open records, public budgets, public meetings, officials who are SUPPOSED to manage them for the public's benefits. I realize that's not how things are in Texas but a private corporation does none of that. The expectation to be able to trust some corporation with you or your kids' lives rather than the gov't seems kinda crazy.- 2025 Thread of the Rains

Apparently the state of Texas limited its warnings to xitter and perhaps facebook. They didn't send a cellphone alert. The sheriffs didn't roll through town with their PA systems blasting. There was no other emergency warning system - Just postings on 2 shitty social media sites that barely anyone uses, and which they certainly don't receive emergency alerts from.- 4th of July Texas Flood

Seems clear to me there should have been an important role for the state and county or city. At the very least there needs to be a way to ensure that emergency alerts get filtered to the people in the county, and that businesses have an effective and viable evac plan. Both the state of Texas and the county have mismanaged their alert systems. The camp probably should not have been allowed to legally operate, especially with 1,000 kids and apparently completely mismanaged and/or relying on counselors who are very young and inexperienced themselves.- 4th of July Texas Flood
I disagree. In my mind the blame lies with the state and local governments. Because - and here's the catch - ultimate responsibility lies with the parents. But it would be absurd for parents to individually inspect a camp's preparedness. We're a civilized country and we should be able to count on government to handle basic safety prep and preventive measures, or to ensure they're in place. Especially where it concerns 1,000 isolated children at a camp.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

I hate these fake religious fucks so much. Not having attended the camp but having heard that it's highly religious, I imagine those christian children prayed and prayed. They probably prayed someone with the state or county would arrive with help. Lotta good it did.- 2025 Thread of the Rains
Edit i really shouldn't post when I'm particularly annoyed- 2025 Thread of the Rains
Was that the, "But it was only sprinkling" response?- 2025 Thread of the Rains
Ah sorry. Didn't think of that - used their mailing address.- 2025 Thread of the Rains
Yes, just the river and immediately adjacent in the SHFA, but not all or most of the camp, right?- 2025 Thread of the Rains

Thanks for the pics, alexis texas. Didn't realize Camp Mystic was in a minimal risk area as designated by FEMA Flood Maps. That seems incredible based on reality. https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search?AddressQuery=2689 Highway 39%2C Hunt%2C TX 78024-3412 - 4th of July Texas Flood
