Crain posted:I feel like the bolded part is the issue. The energy companies will fund the cleanup if need be, its worth it to them. And I meant the supply chain will operate later due to the giant problems. But for example, there will likely be enough undamaged roads that the refineries can start moving fuel once they are back online. However they will be inefficient country roads that take them out of their way and make it take way longer to get gas in arkansas or wherever but it will get there. I fully expect the govt to not get poo poo done fast, and to see private industry look after themselves and only themselves.

It took, what, seven generations for the Russians to make a wild Fox into a completely different animal with super smelling abilities. Surely I could make a telepathic dog given twenty years and a few ten millions of dollars. Imagine if you had telepathic dogs Uncle Sam. Dogs don't need a warrant to read someone's mind.

Discendo Vox posted:You're citing Mercola, one of the most infamous pseudoscience and fake/fraudulent alt medicine groups on the planet. Yeah but they're right about this. It's not every breed, and for some breeds it's not every line (like GSDs, where you have functional, healthy dogs from "working" lines and the horrifying slope-backed mutants from "show" lines) but making dogs worse in the pursuit of aesthetics is absolutely a thing.

However they will be inefficient country roads that take them out of their way and make it take way longer to get gas in arkansas or wherever but it will get there. While you're not wrong about the refineries moving in if the state and federal responses are lacking, and I'll even grant that they many have plans for this already written up, I do not believe that these companies have their own private road crews, disaster recover engineers, etc at the ready waiting to move in as soon as the higher ups decide that the government's time is up. They're going to have to hire these people, probably from far away since local groups may already be contracted into service for the government. They are going to have to do their own assessments of the damage, then get permits and permission to do the repair work, and that will have to be organized with the government entities that will already be on the ground trying to work. Exxon can't just roll up with a road crew from Tennessee and be all "gently caress off this is our turf now." and start doing work around crews that are already in place. Plus it's not even just a roads, power, and water issue for getting the refineries running. The people who run these things are displaced, their homes are destroyed, their job sites need to be cleared and made useable again, hell the loving parking lots are probably gone too. There is no possible way I can see a private company moving in to ensure a "quick fix" here, and even the quick fixes still have potentially huge economic effects.

Hollismason posted:Whats the latest on those dams? Dams are currently holding. I'm listening to the dam guys talk on local news and they say a breach is possible. They did a controlled water release but the levels still rose due to all the rain. Also that river flooding could also impact the reservoirs, and that's what we should expect to see a shift (from flash and bayou flooding) to in the next day.

Donations are great and everything but Red Cross really needs money and canned foods. Red Cross literally just gives clothes away to other charities because they have so many. Your kids clothes are basically just gonna sit in a warehouse somewhere. Clothes also cost them money because they have to wash them and sort them

They can't take your word for it that it's clean and vermin free, so they have to launder, sort, and size everything before they can even think about distributing it. It's far cheaper and more efficient for charities to buy new clothing in bulk than have to deal with used, however well-intentioned it is. Donate your clothes locally or directly to someone who needs them, and send money to Houston.
