      Lol remember the last "infrastructure bill" passed where they stole millions from the people to divert to everyone and everywhere else EXCEPT our own dilapidated infrastructure (ex:Pittsburgh bridge collapse etc)
      Bills are nothing more than a front for moving around our money.

      Maybe they should consider building another more modern bridge over the Sioux River for all those supplies and commodities which “…will affect them for months to come.”

      Because railroad bridges are the responsibility of the government? It is an old bridge on a river that doesn't have any flood control, so it is prone to mild seasonal flooding. Getting 22" of rain over a significant regional area in a very short amount of time is the issue, not government politics. We used to say things like this is an act of God, and then do what we can to help those negatively affected...now it is "Is it a Red State or a Blue State?", "Did they vote on the thing I supported or did they vote against it?"

      Because ‘global warming’ and ‘climate change’ are key words linked to a global money grab scam.
      When you know the difference between solar cycles (which absolutely do affect the geomagnetic fields and resultant weather patterns) and hijacked terms used for money grabs from governments money laundering schemes, it becomes a lot more clear and you don’t have to wonder why other people don’t fall for the climate change agenda being shoved down our throats every day.

      that is moronic and downright heartless to the point of being evil. It isn't anyone's fault. The fault is God's will, which can't be faulted for that takes both understanding more than God and superiority over God. The amount of rain that fell in a short period is the issue, for reality doesn't take such conditions into account in someone's planning, because you don't plan for such anomalies in weather, you accept that in such cases, tragedy happens, and pull together as a community, as a people...not find more hate and division.
