Looks pretty bad.

[Dacula]

Could have been saved if we didn’t send all that money to Ukraine.

Decaying infrastructure. Decaying borders. Decaying culture. Decaying morality. Sure seems like the death of an empire. But dammit, we’ve got a whole month dedicated to how people fornicate. That’s worth something, right?

[wildcard_redneck]

As our infrastructure ages and is maintained by mouth-breathing DEI hires get used to more of these dam failures.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Could have saved 100 dams if we didn't send that money to Ukraine.

[stevio]

Yea, more decay.

Well said.

We're not spending that much on Ukraine. All of our money is going toward our entitlement programs.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The poster child for DEI hires is the Florida International University bridge collapse which killed six people. I don't want those people "designing" anything which could risk injury to life or limb.

Exactly, add to that DEI and billions to Ukraine, etc.

Minnesota had a 18 billion dollar surplus last session.

Democrats pissed it all away.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Anyone ever see pictures of Chinese cities? The infrastructure is clean and modern.
We spent all this money on wars and foreign aid while neglecting our own people.

It was later revealed an Xcel Energy substation located at the dam was actually washed away. It supplied power to some 600 customers, local law enforcement said.

In March 2023, Blue Earth County began the Federal Energy Regulation Commission licensure exemption surrender process for the Rapidan Dam since the dam is no longer generating hydroelectricity.

All part of the plan.
