Do you think that the elected leadership at the statewide and Federal level in the aftermath of this tragedy has been adequate and appropriate? Serious question. 

Let’s see. Anna makes a ridiculous statement. You reasonably ask him to defend that ridiculous statement. He proceeds to completely ignore the request and ask you to defend a laundry list of things that he thinks you think

that about right?

Yep. At the camp level, I don’t know what is supposed to happen, but my instinct is that with 800 female kids in one area especially you’d have one or more people on active roving patrol all night long for any number of predatory issues as well as just problems that occur at night with that many kids in one place.  On top of that, the camp should have been aware of the overnight flood watch and been on heightened alert and listening to radio or otherwise getting weather updates, and been ready to take action. It’s difficult to believe any of this happened, but we will see eventually. 
 

then there’s the local government response. This one is tougher, because it’s not their job to go door to door to make sure everyone is aware. But theee seems to be an extended time delay between the flood warnings and city/county broadcasting of them. And there’s no phone tree for certain areas- especially the places with large congregations of people?  You claim you know that you are in flash flood alley and are no stranger to floods- and you know you don’t have the siren warning system- so what is your procedure?

What the fuck else do they do? I don't expect a literal door to door alert throughout the county, but the riverside camps with shitty cell coverage and lots of kids in them seem like it'd be worth sending someone to make sure they're aware of the danger.

TLDR; criticizing statewide Republican leadership that has been in control for over a generation, and federal Republican leadership that has seized total control of all levers of power, when events that have a real connection to their policy choices (eg, “deregulating” the Texas energy market to eliminate all capacity functions) is “broken-brained.”
But spending hours upon hours on how Biden has dementia and a trans volleyball player in Wyoming is destroying our society is just good and smart conversation.
We are getting exactly what we ask for, we’re getting it good and hard, and Ana wants to be very, very sure that we get a lot more of it.

All the power.

None of the responsibility.

*edit*

Likely parlayed into grievances they're being oppressed

The broken, unhinged clowns on Surly Horns politics forum must taste the whip of my unique wit and be thoroughly vanquished before I can even begin to critique the pros and cons of the leader of the Free World's assertion that Joe Biden is a robot.

I think the next Democratic Party commercial should be Governor Abbott saying “it could have been worse” and then showing pictures of all the children who died under preventable issues under his watch.

You know exactly what I mean. You gave up on even trying to be a good on the level moderator in the CR a long time ago, don't try to play one now.

If you read the last few pages of this thread and still think that I am the problem here, well, I guess you are free to hold that view.

Holy shit Annie I don't know what you're saying but you're derailing the thread. Go deny some treatments or something, cheer yourself up.

But mainly, fuck off.

I haven't consumed much in depth news since July 3rd and don't have enough information to make much of an assessment at this point. Only seen snips here and there. So instead of putting the onus on me to make your point, which is totally unrelated to the post I made and which you quoted btw, go ahead and spill your own ink on it. It's the day after. Go ahead and play quarterback.

This is one I actually agree with. See Canada’s problem in British Columbia with Chinese nationals buying up all their real estate, making it unaffordable for actual citizens. Of course, we just have corporations doing that here anyway, but baby steps. 
I think the list should be expanded. My neighbor rents and his landlords are a group in Singapore. I think any person or group that owns more than 10 residential properties should see their property taxes increase 25%, and if they own more than 50, it should increase 50% more than 100 would mean more than a 75% increase in property taxes. The revenue that's generated would go to helping first-time home buyers with a down payment .
