It's fortunate that they're so incompetent that they couldn't do any damage.
it's not about the water, it's about OBEYING them. If Trump, his oligarchs or their puppets tell you to jump you jump or ask 'how high' but don't question them and surely don't disobey them
Domestic terrorist, got it
A full department staffed by people who haven’t heard of unknown unknowns.
The problem is the effects of their actions are absolutely known, and quite predictable, as long as you can think more than 1 layer deep.
Too much fire? Easy, release all the water now!... Except we were clearly holding that water for a reason, otherwise the fucking dam wouldn't be there in the first place...
I'm not clear on why they doubled down on this, when it was apparently clear that the water was not going to go where they wanted it to go?
You think their goal is to help?
Well, I was thinking that at the very least they did not want to broadcast their idiocy, but clearly I need to reevaluate.
Was it idiocy or malice?
Idiocy can explain a lot, but malice makes everything they've done and everything they're trying to do make a lot more sense.
These acts are intentional and, even if these kids don't understand, the people who are calling the shots do and these are not mistakes (even if they claim otherwise); They have been planning this for years and have the backing of multiple billionaires who are clearly more than happy to facilitate all this.
Because they are idiots. They assume that because they might be good at one thing that they're good at everything.
Flooded farmland, provided 0 help to the wildfires, and now there's less water reserve for the actual agricultural season...
Genius.
Just one more thing Trump did to bring up food prices. Why did people vote for him again?
Because a sizeable chunk of our population are morons.
Assuming the justice system can function again, in theory, how much jail time could they get for tampering with infrastructure and public endangerment?
A people's justice system can be put together quickly, and can render summary judgements faster than the existing one. If the courts can't or won't clean up their act, we'll have to do it for them.
Idk, but guillotines are pretty fast and efficient.
Everyone take a look at these jeanuses.
They're not even old enough to rent a car. Wtf
