Head north from Port Augusta and they’re everywhere. Crumbling homes, busted windmills, lone chimneys. You can take the Stuart Highway northwest towards Coober Pedy, or the Outback Highway towards Marree, but each horizon brings just the same scattering of dead farms and lost stories.

Gee....modern Australia outside the cities looks like the American dust bowl days. Good thing we fixed that with our exceptionalism!

High-Winds Derail Freight Train In Wyoming



In a word, Greed! Or perhaps more aptly, trying to make transport economically viable by doubling the height of the loads. It would be easy to write this off as meaningless but consider our societies have had a good 100 years of the oil age to get this shit right, yet as things get tighter and tighter they are cutting corners left right and center. Like all those cheap imported truck drivers in California that are killing people by their incompetence. This is all city related because that's where the majority of the loads go, where the majority of those disabled in the post above live. Nearly all cities across the globe are going backwards now. They still function, some like Detroit, Just, but the Bell is tolling for them all.

After more than 5 years of continuous drought, engineers are digging tunnels up to 80 km long, diverting more than 500 million m³ of water per year between basins, and investing billions to prevent water, agricultural, and energy collapse in southern Europe. https://en.clickpetroleoegas.com.br/apo ... gua-vml97/
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]Desalination comes in as a strategic complement.

Even with tunnels and canals, the transferred water is no longer sufficient in extreme years. Therefore, the projects have begun to integrate mega desalination plants, especially along the Mediterranean coast.

Guide to Converting Distressed Low-Volume Paved Roads to Unpaved Roads
https://lrrb.org/unpave/

Do you like that terminology? "Distressed paved roads" Makes them sound like a victim doesn't it. Poor things, we'll go in there and De-pave them and make them better
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')reface. The U.S. has 4.1 million miles of roads (1.9 million paved, 2.2 million gravel). About 3 million miles of roads have less than 2,000 vehicles a day, less than 15% of all traffic. The paved portion of these low-volume roads ought to be evaluated for their potential to be unpaved.

Many of these roads should have never been paved to begin with, but the costs of construction, asphalt, and energy were so cheap it was done anyway. Now many rural roads are past their design life and rapidly deteriorating, especially in the Midwest from enormously heavy trucks taking corn and soybeans to biorefineries. It is both difficult and expensive to maintain them, and dangerous to let these roads fall apart and degrade into gravel on their own.

USDA Suspends All Payments To Minnesota's Food Programs Over Suspected Fraud

Like they really give a shit about a little fraud. The entire US system is built on fraud, from Military appropriations to Senators expense accounts. Look at the big picture. You have a nation 40 Trillion dollars in debt and the interest repayments are now crippling it. Just like the cutbacks in Federal unemployment payments decades ago this is just a measure to reduce the government's liability to it's consumers. The cookie jar is getting empty and one day it will be empty. On that day it will all go, just like it did in the socialist USSR. And all the while the unwashed masses just continue on their mindless way, not putting anything aside for the future, wasting every cent that passes through their hands.

I listened to a good analysis of that ICE shooting in Minnesota where the speaker explained how these women have basically adopted the illegal immigrants as surrogate children and allowed their emotions to lead them into hysteria. Women easily go hysterical, it's their trademark, just watch any video of an impending traffic collision and they totally lose their shit. The young mother that was shot dead was actually using her car as a lethal weapon and in her hysteria thought she was doing the right thing, "Saving her children."

"They've Totally Lost Control"; Trump Threatens 'Agitators' As Civil Unrest Soars In Minnesota

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')emocrats are using the manufactured chaos, think of it as George Floyd 2.0, in an attempt to sway public opinion polls about Trump's deportation policies. It was once such a beautiful city, but now it has been transformed into a war zone. For more than a decade, I have been relentlessly warning my readers that civil unrest would be one of the core elements of the coming “perfect storm”, and now we are literally watching violent clashes between radical leftists and federal authorities play out right in front of our eyes. In fact, it is getting so bad that President Trump is threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act..
