Good news, Washington, D.C.
Sure, you may have your river water more, um, feces-enriched than before thanks to the failure of the Potomac Interceptor rupture. Sure, the sewage pipe’s failure is so massive that the media is calling it the “Pooptomac” disaster. (USA Today’s phraseology, not mine; I’d never be so juvenile as to say that, I’d just repeat it.) Sure, aging infrastructure is apparently to blame for the disaster, which has led to the spillage of roughly 240 million gallons of untreated sewage flowing into the Potomac River — the biggest spill in U.S. history.
But cheer up: DC Water, the authority that controls the pipeline, has less white guys than it used to! Doesn’t that make you feel better? E. coli for racial justice, that’s what I always say.
The collapse happened on Jan. 19 near the Clara Barton Parkway in Montgomery County, Maryland; the 72-inch-wide pipe normally carries about 60 million gallons of waste per day.
DEI doesn’t work. Hiring people just because they are black makes no sense whatsoever. Everything turns to sh##. This is a perfect example
“DC Water hired David Gadis in 2018, even though he was a senior executive at Veolia North America, an engineering firm that later paid $53 million to settle civil claims alleging it contributed to and prolonged Flint’s lead contamination disaster.”
Smart move, who makes these crazy decisions?
Excrement seeks it’s own level.
