Based on These Remarks, No Wonder Why DC Water Is a Total Trainwreck

The DC sewer disaster is poised to be the worst wastewater incident in U.S. history. Just over four weeks ago, an underground sewer line ruptured, releasing more than 240 million gallons of sewage into the Potomac. The river, already rated poorly for cleanliness and safety, has now been further contaminated. It’s not safe for any water-based activities for the foreseeable future, but that’s another story. It’s going to take around nine-to-ten months to fix.

I don’t care what a company looks like—just do your job. As a non-white person, I couldn’t care less about the bean-counting regarding diversity. I don’t, because every time we hear stories about companies that have sacrificed competency for skin color, disaster strikes.  

‘The best person for the job’ is the only indicator that should be considered regarding employment, which is common sense, though a phrase now attacked for promoting white supremacy or something. 

Is the media covering the spill? Yes. Is it fair coverage? No.
