Heavy rains in NYC, flooded subways, etc: Who gets the blame?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Real tough to increase the size of storm sewers and regular sewers in NYC due to the size, age and development level.

Most of NYC is combined sewers, that carry both sanitary sewage and storm runoff. System has to be designed small enough to keep nominal flows during dry weather but large enough to handle storms.

The solution is to separate the systems, but that would be billions if not trillions of dollars of work.

I believe you. "Who would claim to be that who was not?"

Sean Connery's character Jim Malone: "Who would claim to be that who was not? Hmm?" to Elliot Ness when he claimed to be a Treasury agent in The Untouchables.

The Untouchables (1987) - Quotes - IMDb

The Untouchables: During Prohibition, Treasury agent Eliot Ness sets out to stop ruthless Chicago gangster Al Capone, and assembles a small, incorruptible team to help him.

This falls on the Republican Party for halting President Biden's efforts to improve the American infastructure.

Build Back Better is very much needed.

What a ******* load of bullshit.

The Schumer Shutdown is
the fault of the Democratics. Exclusively belt.

Is it "climate change"?

Or is it incompetence from political leadership?

You make the call.

It’s incompetence from national leadership and their failure to admit that climate change is mannmade.

Not maybe. He's a Democratic Socialist, and that is Marxist.

But keep dismissing accusations of actual Marxism.

Are you a Marxist?

“Democratic socialists” aren’t Marxist in the slightest. Democratic socialists believe in well regulated capitalism and social programs like government funded education, health care, and infrastructure.

You keeping believing lies about leftists.

So you are saying that extreme weather never happened before?

Are you implying that there were never floods thousands of years ago?

 

[InstantOn]

What have you done personally to help with YOUR MONEY? Nothing? That's what I thought, hypocritical evil person.

I do donate $$ to the local food pantry. And you?

 

[Concerned American]

I do donate $$ to the local food pantry. And you?

Do you also donate to their medical care and housing? And yes, I donate, $$$ and time to private charities---VOLUNTARILY. The food bank is only one. The gov't is stepping outside their mission when they FORCE taxpayers to support other citizens.

If Trump cured cancer, the left would rip him for putting cancer doctors out of work.

They are all Marxists, they just think the DS bullshit will get their feet in the door.

They are all Marxists, they just think the DS bullshit will get their feet in the door.

None of them are “”Marxists” and only morons like you buy into this bullshit.

Morons like you don’t want the USA to get rich manufacturing green technology. China is cornering the market because Republicans refuse to face facts.

Stupidity and short sightedness are Republicans worst character traits. 4 economic crashes in the past 100 years is proof positive of these character flaws.
