It's amazing since all I kept hearing for the past month as this was being done was that this does nothing to fix the underlying issues and that its just going to be the same as it was within weeks due to the heat and low water level. If anything it would be worse due to the dark paint used to absord more heat. Now were here and exactly what was predicted happened and people really blaming shit on more crazy lies lol. These people are beyond nuts.
In the MAGA mindset, that just makes it all the more suspicious. Curious, you seemed to know exactly what would happen and conveniently it happened the way you said... You must have done something to make it happen.
Sounds like the average large project with multiple project managers.
"I want this done before the deadline and under budget"
"But , we dont have the budget for engineering or research and that deadline isnt enough time to do the work properly"
"I dont care. Do it"
*project gets done, very shoddy work, has tons of issues in the future that could have been avoided with proper engineering *
Cue the most idiotic person (manager) getting a raise because of their "hard work and being viewed as a "visionary" when in reality theyre a dumbfuck with a big mouth. The American way.
Heh, was just on a call after a big failure of a project, one where 75% of the people on the call had told the project manager exactly what was going to go wrong if they kept going the way it was going and needed to change in a way inconvenient to the project managers world view. Folks repeatedly and loudly got dismissed by the project manager.
Now as they are discussing what went wrong when exactly the thing everyone said would go wrong did, the project manager said "no one could have predicted it going this way".
The real kicker was the right way to do it wouldn't have cost any time or money, it just was a somewhat different than the project manager's imagination (who did not have any actual experience doing the work, but still thought he knew better than the seasoned profesionals because of what he had been reading).
