In fact, West Virginia is actually the most at-risk when it comes to future flooding & exposed infrastructure. The guy is literally twiddling his thumbs while his entire state will drown in the next few years:

First Street measures risk not only from rivers but also from smaller creeks and streams — the sort of waterways that expose towns like Farmington to so much flooding, yet are generally left off FEMA’s flood maps.

First Street calculated the portion of all kinds of infrastructure at risk of becoming inoperable because of a so-called 100-year flood — a flood that statistically has a 1 percent chance of happening in any given year. The group compared the results for every state except Alaska and Hawaii. In many cases, West Virginia topped the list.

Sixty-one percent of West Virginia’s power stations are at risk, the highest nationwide and more than twice the average. West Virginia also leads in the share of its roads at risk of inundation, at 46 percent.

The state also ranks highest for the share of fire stations (57 percent) and police stations (50 percent) exposed to a 100-year flood.

And West Virginia ties with Louisiana for the greatest share of schools (38 percent) and commercial properties (37 percent) at risk.

So this is so BS blaming WV flooding in “climate change”.

WV has had several floods in 1943, 1957, 1977, 1985, 2016, 2021.

So how the heck did they have severe floods all the way back in 1943???? It’s so dumb to say that every bad event that happens is climate change as they have happened nearly 80 years ago as well.

BTW the most dealt flooding in WV was in 1985. The flooding in 2021 was much less damage and fatalities.

I wonder if even his own family can talk some sense into him. This is outrageous.

Not only that, but he is also singlehandedly helping to destroy the environment. This is what’s at stake here.

They need to put Manchin on the spot and have him identify and explain, specifically, and line by line, exactly what it is that he wants cut and make him try and explain away to his constituents and supporters FACTUALLY as to why he thinks those cuts MUST be made before he will vote yes - and be there to respond to fact checkers who can refute any points he makes.

This isn't the presidential debates.

Manchin needs to be made to answer for himself and his actions.

Help the economy? LOL That bill will sink an economy already struggling with levels of inflation not seen in 13 years.

And Biden can't afford anymore failures. They haven't even written the BBB Act out, no one has the text of the bill because it doesn't exist, and they're holding up a bill that has already passed the Senate and will save Biden pre-midterms.

Sink the economy? Increase inflation? Based on what? Post a link to a credible economic analysis.

Because history of similar measures shows the exact opposite of what you are claiming.
