I wonder if IT workers have unions

When the standard for the military is killing people, I think saving your fellow citizens deserves an applause doesn't it you fucking rat bastard?

The crocs really complete it

I know you're joking but we do have Medicare

Yeah if the camp had radios, the guy with weather information could give a holler to the people in danger, that could work

Yeah nah that's stupid

Nope, the warning system wasn't installed because the citizens of the community thought it was too expensive

During a news conference early Friday morning, Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly said he didn't know why the camps hadn't been evacuated, but that the county did not have an early warning system or outdoor sirens to alert people to flooding conditions.

“We’ve looked into it before … The public reeled at the cost,” Kelly said.

Can someone find me a source on this. Most of the articles I have read say NWS pushed out a flash flood alert 3 hours in advance but the camp itself didn't have any alerting system in place. So if they had cell reception and turned on the emergency alert then they would've been warned.

I'm sure cuts to the NOAA and NWS can't be beneficial for anyone though

Are you telling me that we should stop incorporating a police state, arresting homeless people for public loitering, putting bars on benches? Instead offer more public services and free healthcare to get them back on their feet and better yet, mitigate homelessness to people at risk of being homeless?

Nah, I think we should make it easier to put people in prison for misdemeanors instead.

Someone link the mermaid table over here
