Big problems with Oroville, CA dam

[Ron H]

Why do some people put other people in their perceived boxes and rip the **** out of them for their belief or values? The guy that lost his job and is collecting unemployment is automatically a scumbag because he isn't working? He's no different than the guy who doesn't want to work and steals stuff to buy his crack? When Mitt talked about the people on entitlements..."the 47%" he forgot that a good % of the people within this 47% were like my parents who worked a combined 90 friggin years and now on SS. We have people receiving entitlements that shouldn't be and who should be. We have people who are "liberal" who are good hard working people; yet they're all worthless gay lovers and tree huggers put in a liberal box. And those who are "conservative" are also all tossed in one box as racist evangelicals, who think the government is going to take their guns away. This broad-brush trashing on one another should really concern us. We're starting to follow the trashy campaign rhetoric. We have a two-party system to avert a dictatorship. If we say all my way or no way what have we got; a dictatorship. These people we elected left or right need to find a way to work together. Thinking of boxes, DC reminds me of watching toddlers play in a sandbox and one kid goes all ballistic because the other kid started playing with a toy the other thought was his and yet there are five more toys just like it in the box...

The story about the CA dam being a potential problem, as it has largely played out, reminds me of the story about the levees before Katrina...as that did play out. The result was a carbon copy of the predicted disaster. There were predictions based on engineering data that warned of what would happen years before it did; but yet officials we entrust and pay our tax dollars to deal with it did nada. It has to do with "well it hasn't happened yet and not sure if it will". We could also include the Gulf oil spill disaster that BP allowed years of safety shortfalls to continue until that played out and then everyone is sorry and in a state of disbelief that it happened. BP spent millions on touchy-feely commercials about their making things right again. Too bad they didn't spend that cash making it right before the blowout. Ask me how I know; I'm a safety engineer. Yeah, a lot of us know that more bridges will collapse and dams will burst and what's being done about it? We can hope we're not on the bridge when it falls...

If all of the idiot politicians here immediately dropped dead, the average IQ of the state would rise along with prosperity and personal satisfaction.
I love the sights, the weather and many of the people. I just hate that so many of the states laws and regulations are decided by two relatively small parts of the state.

Bingo !! & Exactly !!!
spoken like someone that knows the real Calif.,
not just more lies & BS they read on the -www-
we have a winner, now Bob tell him what he's won

Lists of dams & reservoirs in Calif.
It's not a short list either, we certainly aren't lacking any...

maybe some who don't have any clue or ill-informed masses,
should actually look at it, educate yourselves
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dams_and_reservoirs_in_California

Some won't ever get it & don't/won't listen to people that "actually live here"
{I'm a life long Calif. native born here in 1959, I've seen it all, I'm not some damn transplant from god knows where}
& actually "know the whole truth", it's extremely bad water management
{SoCal basically a desert & SF Bay area wastes water on so much stupid landscaping too, stupid politicians/shity's
& counties keep building & don't care where the water comes from, as long as they get their water funds &
palms greased for pork/pet projects}
protecting some damn bug or some damn fish or some damn lizard or
some damn bird or some damn plant etc.
& all the eco-Nazi/activist BS, especially the last 25 or so years,
all the people with their opulent landscaping plants/grasses swimming pools,
all the water running down the driveways wasted etc.
no concern where the water comes from, not using run off or
recapturing/recycling most all of the storm drain water,
that goes down the gutters out to sea, in the all the bigger coastal
inner-shity's, all that, is our biggest problem...

And yes it's the powers to be in our politics &/or those pulling all their strings,
are the driving factors, to most, if not all of it too...

Late Tuesday, President Trump ordered federal authorities to help California recover from severe January storms — a disaster declaration that also assists state and local officials with the dam crisis. - See more at: http://epaper.bostonglobe.com/Bosto...4cccf638faba&source=next#sthash.QvCv6CDd.dpuf

Helping out the Moonbats in California but we don't hear about that in the ******* news do we.

**** LIBERALS. They sow dead seeds.

**** LIBERALS. They sow dead seeds.

And they don't know how to appreciate what they have been given, they don't maintain anything, because then no one will give them NEW things, which they "deserve" because they refuse to take responsibility for taking care of anything...
and they are entitled to lots of nice new things, that we producers are required to create for them to squander, wreck, crash, and disrespect what I pay insurance on.

It's getting to where I am losing my ability to care when they meet the results of their choices.

Hopefully things change so that responsibility is one day rewarded and irresponsibility becomes its own personal punishment, as in times past, with no system to reward sluggards, while the productive can see increase.
Not callous, but long to see the lazy have their feet held to the fire.

The more I think about the more I dislike it. They are dam luck we put a good man in Washington.
These same whining cry babys were quite ok when the Obumar feed people and business to the wolves that did not vote for him.
This is no different than a bailout and could have been prevented with the proper dam maintenance. But no these zulouis idiots were more intrested in cow farts than flooding out near 200,000 peoples homes.
Any monies the feds spend on this should be payed back.
This definitely was not a natural disasters requiring federal funds, but a state clusterfuck as Eastwood would have put it.
So you libs in California better get on the wagon and start kissing ***.

Yea, we haven't heard that BOOM yet so lets let in some more refugees.

After the "illegals" get done filling the hole in the spill way, we can deport them.

Fill the hole WITH illegals. Plenty to go around and you can just keep filling the hole as they rot out. Not really fair to those downstream however

A lot of whining crying here. Politicians on both sides don't like spending for long term things and wait until its dire.
