Outrage and Infamy: New Orleans Not Ready For Devastating Hurricane
"Words cannot describe the infamy that could unfold in the coming weeks. In the first Katrina people died because they were too young, too elderly, too poor, too handicapped and too neglected to protect themselves, and those who should have protected them, did not.
The odds now favor, at some point, a rerun which would be an even greater infamy because America knew what could happen, and still did not act in time. Again."
Flashback - U.S. Is Reducing Safety Penalties for Mine Flaws -screw the miners, profits come first.
"In its drive to foster a more "cooperative" relationship with mining companies, the Bush administration has decreased major fines for safety violations since 2001, and in nearly half the cases, it has not collected the fines, according to a data analysis by The New York Times."

Flashback - 2005 report card for america's infrastructure
"Congested highways, overflowing sewers and corroding bridges are constant reminders of the looming crisis that jeopardizes our nation's prosperity and our quality of life. With new grades for the first time since 2001, our nation's infrastructure has shown little to no improvement since receiving a collective D+ in 2001, with some areas sliding toward failing grades."

with our recent power outage, i visited with our ward rep, who was also onsite trying to ascertain why this latest outage. we were told the cause was two birds. he bought it. i didn't. i said perhaps the real reason is this particular substation is nearly 50 years old and needs a major overhaul and is thus more vulnerable to acts of nature that under normal conditions, wouldn't cause a major fuse or two to blow.
come on--birds?? last time it was squirrels. you see this happen on newer substations? honest to god i have never lived in an area that experiences so many power outages. ward rep said he was going to speak with the city about this. i need to contact him and find out what the city plans on doing to make sure this particular substation is rehabilitated.
Go get 'em, Neener. It's outraged citizens from the ground up who will turn things around, just like it's always been.
At one particular store we watched incredulously one day years ago as the transformers all blew up with a giant explosion down the street.
But Sockpuppet wants more billions for his various clusterfucks abroad, donchaknow.
