Ignoring the warnings when they say “extreme danger to life” for the river you’re in when your buildings and the kids you’re responsible for are in the damn river’s floodplain does not “make it difficult to decide”.
I’m not virtue signaling. I’m mad as fucking hell. Because I know there are actions that could (and damn well should) have been taken to protect those kids and counselors, and the rot began at the top.
I replied elsewhere, but I’m gonna stick it here as well for visibility:
NOAA Weather Radios go off like alarm clocks when warnings are issued. Loud as hell. We hear ours 1 floor away through closed doors with a fan and a white noise machine. This camp absolutely should have had not 1 but 2 of these in separate locations.
I’m the emergency manager of a camp. We have redundant alert and notification systems, a full All Hazards emergency plan and drill routinely for sheltering and evacuation.
No less should have been done for these kids. This is 100% on the hands of the leadership of the camp. Full stop.

I bring you the classic by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie
Late to the party but Verkada. Block their domain at the front door and don’t look back. The highest pressure sales tactics, cold calling everybody in the company they can find on LinkedIn / website / data broker lists. Started calling our board of directors at home and their day jobs asking why we weren’t returning messages. Verkada can burn in hell.
It really sucks ass when you have a Cisco voice system. I can’t even get a quote from my Cisco VAR to update b/c Broadcom isn’t replying to small quote requests, but are pulling shit like this for old-ass v6.5 installations like ours that only have 2 hosts and 6 vm’s.
Which is why they’re not getting the requested aid… Well, actually, the local emergency manager has to make the disaster declaration to the state and have all their local and mutual aid resources exhausted. Then if the state approves a state disaster, the governor can request a presidential disaster declaration (PDD).
IF the cheeto agreed, that would free up a willing FEMA to respond to requests. However, we now have a FEMA Director that wants to eliminate the agency, so who knows. The whole thing is a shitshow.
All you young’ins don’t know about hackertyper.net
Your very own OP said (and I’m on mobile with a shit app so I can’t copy and paste, so I’m quoting from memory, but y’all can look up there for the actual words): "I’m a public education advocate from MI and all (emphasis mine) admin make 6 figures.
That part. That’s a lie. You’re now moving the goalposts and I’m calling you on your bullshit.
I’m not going to do myself as I’ve taken pains to remain anonymous after being doxxed and harassed on that other shit platform. Suffice it to say that I don’t live in one of the most affluent school districts in Michigan (ahem; Rockford and what other ISD’s around GR?). I live among the poorest.
I’m not disagreeing on gym teachers not knowing the basics of other subjects, but you keep going on your gish gallop.
I am a (recently) former school board member of my district in MI and personally reviewed the compensation packages for our staff.
Quit spreading bullshit.
While I agree with the assessment of zero tolerance policies, there isn’t a soul in our entire school district that is making 6 figures. Most of the faculty in our district are barely scraping by because the voters believe this collective delusion that schools have more money than god and are full of wasteful spending. That is a lie promulgated by conservatives to defund schools.
Stop feeding that lie.
The current iteration of the GOP in the senate and congress resembles that of a drying jellyfish on a beach: spineless and worthless (no disrespect to actual dying jellyfish on the beach, who serve admirably in the food chain) . They will do whatever the fuck their god emperor tells them to do.
They confirmed RFK Jr. for fuck’s sake.
For what it’s worth, my congress cretin is loving polishing trump’s asshole and ceding away congressional oversight to the executive branch. At a town hall lady week, he said that the DOGE department was always DOGE, they just changed the acronym (wat?!) and it was always under the executive branch, not an independent federal agency.
I think that was implied
Apathy. Apathy is what happens next.
“I have bills to pay, I’m not taking time off to protest”
“I’m not the one being deported, sure, I feel bad but it’s not like one voice will make a difference”
Etc…
Isn’t it odd that anything that involves the head isn’t covered? Like - it’s one of the most important parts!
He doesn’t care if Americans get hurt or suffer his batshit policies. His moronic base will support him even if they’re suffering; they’ll blame it on the brown people.
Just like the tsa deleted all the body scan images after the subject left the scanner.
Can you please adopt me and my family?
