Flooded Texas County Turned Down Funds for Warning System From Biden Admin in 2021: 'We Don't Want to Be Bought'

In 2021, the Biden administration awarded Kerr County $10.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which could have been used for flood prevention infrastructure. But commissioners, facing political pressure from conservative residents, opted not to pursue a warning system.

Can they install it now or is it still the devils work to have a warning system?

Well it was "the devils work" when it was "Biden's" federal dollars, so they used all that money on the Sheriff's department instead.

That was their chance. They blew it. Seriously doubt there will be any more federal dollars for flood warning systems during a Republican administration, since it would be admitting climate change is not a "hoax."

Texas has a multi billion dollar budget surplus that could go to install flood warning systems.

She said people are cutting back and she has no customers, I thought to myself that well this takes care of the income tax problem, no income so no tax.

I can’t believe the stupidity of small businesses and non fed people, they didn’t bother to think that if their clients lose jobs then they lose business, but here we are. I have a couple of relatives in Baltimore who voted for Trump and their business sales are in the dump. I have zero sympathy.

Btw, I am not a Fed but I have 2 brain cells to figure out that pretty much everything in DC is tied to the Federal government.

If only you and each one of us who perhaps still has two brain cells before last election could have each just convinced ONE person who was leaning for team orange, think of how much we could have helped instead of calling their thinking stupid. Maybe a lesson for each one of us going forward --lets work on trying to show those on the other side the light.

I have a friend with a trans daughter, who voted for Trump because she thought her daughter chose to transition because of LBGTQ friendly elementary stories. She was willing to accept a gay daughter but not one who chose to transition. I tried to convince her that a vote for Trump would do nothing to help her now transitioned daughter. I even tried to lead with a vote for Trump is a vote for chaos. I like living in a non-chaotic country.

Her daughter no longer speaks to her.

These aren't bright people, they don't listen to reason, they are ruled by fear, not logic, think personal morality can and should be legislated, and they aren't into seeing the light.
