No word for it
Another piece of our dainty little milifairy lost to utter satanic idiocy:
Two years ago, Coeur d’Alene was among dozens of Western communities caught off guard when Army Corps officials said all trees on levees had to go. After Hurricane Katrina, the agency updated its national levee standards, saying that trees and bushes were hazardous to levees because they could be uprooted during storms and their roots could undermine the structures. Only grass was allowed to remain. Communities that flouted the Army Corps’s new standards risked having their levee certification revoked. That meant they couldn’t apply for federal disaster funds for levee repairs in the event of flooding. The loss of levee certification also created problems with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which sets flood insurance rates. The new standards led to protests and a 2011 lawsuit by the Defenders of Wildlife, the Center for Biological Diversity and Friends of the River. Opponents argued that the Army Corps’ own research showed that trees can help stabilize levees and reduce erosion. In an interim policy adopted last month, the Army Corps changed course. Trees on levees won’t disqualify flood-control districts from securing federal aid. Vegetation ratings on levees will be informational only, corps officials said in the policy revision, which is expected to become permanent.In other words, the Corps had LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE that trees ruin levees. This is how engineers do things, and more to the point it's how SANE HUMANS do things. But LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE is illegal now. It's the worst of all crimes in the Satanic Anglosphere. We must NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER LEARN! WE MUST ALWAYS GUARANTEE SUICIDE AND DISASTER, AND WHEN DISASTER INEVITABLY COMES, WE MUST DO INFINITELY MORE TO GUARANTEE INFINITE SUICIDE AND INFINITE DISASTER. In every single case we must enter a ferocious death spiral with maximum afterburner boost. We're fucked. No, there isn't a word for it. ¶ 1:47 AM
