Posted by Peter Rosa on Sun Apr 21 20:45:12 2024 During the flood of 2011, the Corp of Engineers decided to dynamite a 2,000 ft section of a Missouri levee, protecting over 100,000 acres of the finest farm ground in the world from the Mississippi River, to save a handful of dilapidated shacks in Cairo, Illinois.All the flooded Missouri land deeds did state that the property was in a floodway and could be flooded in an emergency to save towns along the Mississippi River, but nobody believed the Feds would actually blow out the levee. Just 10 acres of the laser graded, intensively farmed Missouri delta was worth more than the entire slum of Cairo, but the Corp of Engineers decided to flood over 100,000 acres, destroying the land with blue holes and sand. Your tax dollars at work. |

Right-wingers love to be reductive."It was equal to having been in Vietnam," said Mattie Woods, 63, who was born and raised in the town. "We have had flooding before, but we have never really faced total disaster. This one was full devastation for all of us."

I posted about it almost 30 times. Railman and company always gives me the most flack.THat's when Obama decided to blow the levee and flooded all of those white people. Something that was illegal and they accused Bush of doing in New Orleans. |
