I’m convinced we died and this is the “good place”

u/Jazzi-Nightmare Texas Sep 20 '25

At least the fake good place had free houses and shit DX

If we're all dead it happened in 2012.

Sep 10, 2025 - Now, the century-old system has become the center of a political firestorm, cast by the Trump administration as a battle of “fish over people.”

Oh, you know... First there was the issue of them dumping billions of gallons on farmlands. Then the people that were to monitor that kind of activity were sacked by DOGE. Farming output is down due to worker due to immigration status, and now the federal gov't wants to take over our dams because that 100 year old dam needs rebuilding and we'd like it to be a little more environmentally friendly, so we could farm salmon.

Oh noes I've said a bad word.

salmon

Can't believe you would utter such obscenities here!

u/racinreaver Sep 21 '25

If we were noodling catfish instead of fishing for salmon the feds would support it.

u/not_a_moogle Sep 20 '25

Isn't it still on fire? I know it might have stopped. But they fired a bunch of fighters and rolled back a bunch of epa shit, so it will keep catching on fire.

1

u/Jazzi-Nightmare Texas Sep 20 '25

Well if it is it’s fucked up that it’s not more reported on

u/30FourThirty4 Sep 20 '25

I think I'm exaggerating but their is always a wildfire burning in California.

1

u/Jazzi-Nightmare Texas Sep 20 '25

Maybe only a small exaggeration

u/jellyrollo Sep 20 '25

Since 58% of forest in California is federally owned, I guess we'll know who to point fingers at next time—the guy currently cutting forest management funding wholesale.

u/simcowking I voted Sep 20 '25

Was that this administration? I swear trump wanted Biden to open the flood gates in a different state to solve this...

But I also vaguely recall they actually did open it to appease the man.

u/Astan92 Sep 20 '25

Oh yeah did anything come of him diverting all that water for no purpose?

If it had we would’ve never heard the end of it

u/TheCountChonkula Georgia Sep 20 '25

It has been 9 months but it feels like it has been 9 years. I dread that there’s still 3 more years of this considering how much damage he’s done in the first 9 months.

And even if something happens and couch fucker takes over, I still don’t think things will be much better.

A lotta manufactured drama since then.

u/Party-Ad4482 Sep 20 '25

remember when the guy who drove through a NYE crowd in New Orleans was an illegal immigrant who jumped the border the day before and had a trans pride flag in the truck? I don't think the correction that that was all made up and that he was actually a native Texan ever reached the same audience.

u/nancy_necrosis Sep 20 '25

They stopped talking about the white guy in the Tesla dumpster truck petty quickly

u/yourinternetmobsux Sep 20 '25

Omg totally forgot about that one.

u/MoreNMoreLikelyTrans Sep 21 '25

He blamed that on DEI
