Flooded Texas County Opposed Siren Alert System That Could Have Warned Residents Because of the Cost
A Texas county rejected siren alert systems in the past due to high costs. But after recent flash floods, state and local officials face renewed questions.
Well now they can spend a billion rebuilding with very little of their own money. Socialism for me, not for thee.
Of course, more people get shot to death than this flood killed. And since guns are safe and not killing people, the flood is even safer.
Some lawmakers, including state Rep. Wes Virdell, voted against it due to its projected $500 million cost, though several now admit they're reconsidering in the wake of recent events
They’re not going to reconsider. Who’s buying this lie from consummate liars?
Even if they truly are reconsidering, it won’t matter. The information that leads to a siren will no longer be available.
Let's not lose sight of the profound savings the county enjoyed.
Welcome to capitalism. Life-saving stuff is cut because it's expensive.
Oh good. We can put an exact dollar figure on the lives of those children. Convenient.
It’s not that they don’t care, it’s just that they hate you more than they loved their dead kids.
The cowardice of capitalism and "fiscal conservatism" knows no limits.
Texans do this to themselves. Fuck em.
While I share that sentiment at times, I think about how the rest of the world looks at America.
Like if someone said:
"Americans did this to themselves. Fuck them."
Like damn, I didn't do any of this I'm just trying to survive 😭
Yeah, no, I didn't vote for this, but yeah, Americans did this to ourselves and it sucks.
You did do this to yourselves, while the rest of us told you exactly what was going to happen for decades. You gave us the finger and renamed French fries. Even the best among you are complacent at best and whining cowards at worst.
“I’m just trying to survive.” Great, you do that while your country burns down around you. Just look out for yourself, someone else will surely save you.
Americans deserve what they’re getting.
You Americans collectively did this to yourself.
1 star state.
America is a death cult
