I had a summer job working several years in public works back in the 70s. During that time we were constantly replacing old rusted out cast iron water mains, some so rusted that 90 percent of the inside diameter was obstructed, and many leaked more water than they delivered. In Boston they were doing upgrades as well and even ran across some made out of hollowed out logs.
The water system was built about 100 years before, but through a regular system of maintaining the system the pipes were all upgraded and water usage went down because of the elimination of the leaky 19th century cast iron pipes.
The point being that the time to repair a water delivery system is decades before it fails. Because if you wait until it fails you can never catch up.
Public works projects like a municipal water system are built up over time as the city grows.
The problem is that many legacy projects given to us by prior, forward thinking generations, have been taken for granted by so called community leaders who prefer to spend money on things like shiny new sports stadiums that they can point to, rather than on things that are buried under ground.
Unfortunately when a municipal water system breaks down the city that it services becomes uninhabitable and unsustainable.
History is rife with cities being abandoned when the.water supply ran out, Rome after most of the aquaducts were destroyed, Petra after cisterns filled up.with sand and the knowledge to maintain them.had been lost. The Anasazi cliff dwellings after the weather patterns changed.
Jackson will limp along for a while, but if there is a general economic breakdown, and there's no money to keep water coming in via trucks and emergency repairs it will be abandoned.
Unfortunately many in our thing will take this as a sign that cities will collapse, leaving rural people alone to rebuild America in their image. Cities won't conveniently collapse into their footprint, even though this too is an inside job. The Left has said for 100+ years that their plan is to crash the economy so that people will be accepting of extreme measures of control. Pretty sure this is one thing that they are telling the truth about.
I don't know, Doc. My normalcy bias includes recognition that the country has gone to hell, the people in charge are mostly evil globalists intent on killing most of us, and nobody is coming to save us - except Jesus, of course, but I'm not waiting for Him or Godot. Godspeed to get you all through that mess. But with your notorious mayor (yes, I'd heard of him. Not a good thing considering most mayors I know if it's because they are that totally bad) it may be awhile. I'm betting your Gov. is going to step in to bail things out to avoid being called a waaaaaacist for not doing anything even though it's not his responsibility. At least it won't be a NOLA-Katrina situation where BOTH the mayor and governor completely drop the ball, shirk their duties and their official disaster plans, then blame the feds for not fixing everything for them quickly enough. God I dispise leftists. Blanco has since returned to her father in hell, but Nagin is a free man because of COVID's "get out of prison early" plan for all Demoncrats. Justice awaits them all on the other side.
Prayin' for you and yours, Doc. Keep a stiff upper lip.
I hate to say it but even my great state of Texas is not immune to the ravages of political hacks. The Great Freeze we had last year? Well the freeze itself was not the primary worry, it was the pipes. Should it have been? No. Even as infrequent as a deep freeze is in the state, Texas code does not suggest a lowest point drain for the water supply to residences and commercial buildings. Its a $100 of additional plumbing that could have prevented a Billion $$ repair bill. The insurnace industry won't battle for it as they will lose to entrenched real estate interests.
I read WRS consistently. Just checking my viewpoint vs what is being observed on that site is worth the practice.
"Politics ruins everything, from personal relationships to great nations."
Africans ruin everything they touch. Until you have traveled the dark continent you really have no serious benchmark to understand that.
Hey Doc, might you un-ass that dying shit hole you and your family live in, (87% african?) and head out to the Redoubt? There is a majority of Traditional American Citizens out here. We all need health care. The quality of life if superior to where you are. I escaped the east coast, so I know what I am talking about.
When the engineers and builders of the modern world leave, or have exhausted their ability to host parasites, the result is ALWAYS the same. Just ask the Dutch attempt in Africa https://www.bitchute.com/video/ek1bG9LgDPvC/

When this whole mess collapses, it is going to be on par with Noah's Flood in epicness.
And I 2nd the motion,
Check in with WRS daily.
Your future self will thank you.

These are the opening cracks, when it starts to happen in bigger cities and last longer it will get ugly in a hurry
