Subject: Here we go again. . .
We were offered a rant (#5184) blaming earth’s doom on Chatham Park developers’ greed. Never mind the poster fathered three (not the politically correct one). Never mind he is another baby-boomer living on government funding well beyond his payment into the system while his own great grandchildren will have no such funding but, instead, have to pay his debts. These baby boomers get enough from Social Security to pay for internet access and a computer. Their great-great grandchildren will have nothing but crushing government debt to pay.
Never mind the greed involved in taking government money instead of working for a living. Never mind his cherry-picked excuses for condemning “one man’s greed” instead of helping to make anyone’s life better. “Fighting the good fight” to steal another man’s property will NOT make anyone’s life better. Nobody. Three people have to work today to pay for one person on Social Security. Chatham Park developers are WORKING to make life better for Chatham County and all North Carolina whether you agree with their methods or not. Chatham Park developers’ methods have been proven over human history. CONSTRUCTION. While protestors OBSTRUCT.
But these baby boomers comfort themselves because they are a minority who “fight the good fight”. Stealing another’s private property is NOT a good fight. It is theft. Successful and unpunished theft is not good.
California has no shortage of water. California has a shortage of political will to capture and store water like Jordan Lake. Chatham County and North Carolina have no shortage of water. We lack the vision and political will to provide for the capture and storage of water for the future. Chatham County commissioners would rather construct HUGE “Justice” centers and “Agriculture” buildings with the huge increase of tax revenues based on over-inflated property values.
Here is a crazy idea. . .How about digging out the bottom of Jordan Lake to build higher shorelines allowing doubling or tripling capacity? Starting now and raising 10 miles of shoreline per year would be complete by 2033. (OK. I am not an engineer but the point is valid. We COULD plan and implement processes NOW to capture and store LOTS more water for the future.)
Billions of dollars were given to New Orleans and Louisiana to maintain and improve the levees over decades before Hurricane Katrina. ALL THOSE BILLIONS WERE WASTED ON GOVERNMENT GREED.
No, let’s just keep on doing what we’re doing now until it all collapses under the shear weight of government greed.
