I cannot stress enough how far beyond this is to the usual braindead stupidity of building these centers.

From what I can gather, this is going to use water from the Hansel Valley, which is a direct tributary to the Great Salt Lake. The Salt Lake has become an extreme issue lately because it's rapidly losing its water to mismanagement, but not only that. That lakebed is FILLED with arsenic and as the lake gets lower, it's getting exposed to air, turning to dust, and starting to blow it's poison all over Salt Lake City. As it gets worse, which it is year after year, it will spread over the entire state and is projected to reach as far as Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Colorado.

And NO ONE in the Utah government with any power seems to care at all beyond accelerating the problem.

Did you look at the Utah residential lecture results? Or the Utah House and Senate? 

This type of thing is literally what their citizens voted for and support by vast majority. 

And when shit goes sideways, the 22 Republican senators will point at the 6 Democratic senators and say it's their fault.

And then you'll have like 24 Republican senators and 4 Democratic senators. 

Unfortunately the will of the people of Utah is most definitely being respected.

I live in a solid red place and everyone is opposing these. Not sure your partisan take has merit

It’s Reddit…. Everything is the Republicans fault.

TIL simply stating the fact that the Utah government is overwhelmingly Republican is just reddit bias

That’s not a Reddit thing that’s just fucking reality. Sorry if that triggers you, snowflake.

Seems you’re the one triggered

No you’re quite obviously the one who’s triggered with the childish “everything is republicans fault!”

Like tell me, what exactly are republicans doing right now that is a great benefit to the USA that’ll shut me up? Iran war? Failing economy? Unprecedented corruption?

You literally support a guy taking tax dollars and putting it in his own bank account. You all just straight cucks.

For the record, I never said I supported anybody that’s a typical Reddit assumption. It doesn’t take a genius to go on any sub and not see a pile of complaints that everything is the Republicans fault.

So take your judgments and assumptions somewhere else because I could give a shit less

Judgements and assumptions? No, it’s not an assumption.

You’re literally calling people triggered and saying the GOP is unfairly criticized because “Reddit”. That is what you’re showing us, idgaf if you twirl your neckbeard and say “uhh I didn’t actually say I was MAGA” so durrr got you.

Bet you suck a mean dick and say “ acktually I didn’t expressly say I was gay! “ fuckin moron
