What's more important?
Spending on social services for illegals? Spending to save bait fish, bullet trains, light rail, the bloated pensions of the public sector unions or maintaining infrastructure...
Oh, I know, I get it, the dam is failing because the evil Republic Republicans in Congress will not pay for it because they hate minorities, clean air and water and infrastructure.

Odd that.
Last night's news showed pictures of the spillway, touting that it was working exactly as designed, even after being unused for 50 years. The government mouthpieces were all smug about how great it was.
This morning: RUN!!!!

There's a lot of that of late, the politician's proclivity to deny reality.
But as Rand said, you cannot avoid the consequences of denying reality.

Yep, other side of the valley though on the coastal range at several thousand feet.
I'm about as good to go as it gets for winter bullshit. It can snow and rain all it likes, I love it.
Fires are my big threat and they are scary as fuck.
LOL

Even the Dam in Cali became frustrated and cracked.
Grammy vibes.
Trump's fault.

The environmental left running the government in Excremento CA hate dams and dam building. Part of the reason for the drought in CA.

With just a little more neglect, they can be one dam freer...

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure failure to build dams is exactly zero percent of the reason for the drought in California.
Because dams cause precipitation. Got it.

I'm not. It's an undisputed fact that California allows billions of gallons of water to run into the ocean every year for the want of addition water capture systems for existing runoff.

No clown, but California fails to capture "existing runoff" to the tune of billions of gallons.

How much do you suppose it would cost to capture "existing runoff" and direct it to irrigate the State? FFS you big government types have never met a dollar you didn't want to spend three to save.

Far less than the cost of the drought itself I suspect.

""It's questionable. I want to see what the spillway looks like. I don't like taking people's word," Smith said as her family huddled around a small camp stove."
Story
Certainly Ms. Smith is a professional engineer highly schooled in dam design and cause of failure and that's why she personally needs to see the spillway.
