US Cities Face Water Stress Amid Crumbling Infrastructure​

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

Nearly two years ago my small town in Oklahoma (pop. 3000) received a $1.5 million federal grant for a new water tower and other upgrades to the water system.

Soon after, the police and city workers got themselves brand new vehicles.

From my front porch I can see the half finished water tower, been that way for nine months.

County treasurer quit her job today. No one can seem to figure out how to finish the water tower. They blew the funds.

Tense exchange as US senator pushes for answers on what threat Iran posed

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testifies during the Senate Select Intelligence Committee


US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard

Under questioning from Senate Democrats, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard stopped short of endorsing Donald Trump’s claim that Iran posed an imminent threat to the US.

Gabbard’s testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee underscored the delicate balancing act senior administration officials are playing as the war drags into its third week - and as signs suggest there’s growing opposition to the war within Trump's Republican Party.

In her prepared remarks, Gabbard used Trump’s oft-repeated assertion that Iran’s nuclear programme was “obliterated” by US strikes last year. But Gabbard added that “there has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability".

Later Gabbard declined multiple times to say if she believed Iran presented an “imminent threat” to the US before Trump launched the war last month - something Trump has claimed as one of the reasons he decided to attack Iran.
 
"Those who are to conduct a war cannot in the nature of things, be proper or safe judges, whether a war ought to be commenced, continued, or concluded. They are barred from the latter functions by a great principle in free government, analogous to that which separates the sword from the purse, or the power of executing from the power of enacting laws."

So, I have friends who live in Virginia. A couple live up in Alexandria. The others in Richmond. Need to have a call with them to get their feelings on pretty much everything the new governor is pushing.

Here is her latest which is likely to not survive a 14th Amendment challenge:

I worked on a LOT of federally-funded projects over the years. The minimum setback was always 5% for WBE, DBE, and MBE companies. A few had a 10% requirement. Virginia has gone overboard.
