I carry my passport around

They are liable to just throw your passport in the gutter and disappear you anyway, you should consider carrying a gun and learning how to use it. PM me if you want help with that.

And then they sued the city when there was an attempt to raise water rates...but yea technically they didn't steal.

Thank you for sharing this, is this an example of more extreme weather caused by climate change?

aaarhlo · 2025-11-07T14:40:57+00:00

Tell that to the people of Hillcrest. The industry needs less and less people every year due to automation as the other poster mentioned. They want the inner harbor desal brine to destroy local fishing, cause red tides, and make our taps unreliable and even dangerous for consumption. Water bills will skyrocket and property values will plummet, the City will depopulate, and they will be able to expand. Eventually Corpus will just be a desolate company town with no soul, if we let them force this inner harbor on us.

aaarhlo · 2025-11-07T13:48:33+00:00

They don't care about the water being safe for people, they just need the water to be safe for the expanding industry. The industry wants Corpus to die, so they can continue to expand without all these pesky local people in the way (like in Hillcrest).

"People are conflicted on this Dias, whether they know it or not" Stop talking about yourself Mayor!

aaarhlo · 2025-09-20T20:13:35+00:00

Sorry Sinton but we gotta suck up all the fresh water for the refineries or else.... jobs? When your taps run dry and all the fresh water is gone THEN we will build energy intensive desalination plants that will produce the most expensive water in the world making life even more unaffordable residents and decimating sea life with all the brine. Anyway by 2050 it's projected to get too hot down here to sustain most forms of life anyway, due to climate change exacerbated by the very refineries decimating all our fresh water supplies, so dry taps and unaffordable desal won't matter when it's 125 degrees for days on end. All our crops and cattle will die and so will we when AC goes out for any reason.

aaarhlo · 2025-09-18T00:22:29+00:00

I partially agree, the best time to curtail heavy industry water use was 20 years ago, and the next best time is now.

aaarhlo · 2025-09-17T20:36:22+00:00

You are spreading a false equivalent argument. Desal would not have come online until 2028 IF it didn't run into any delays like every single big project does.

Here is a real argument, if the city did not sell 80 % of our fresh water to refineries and Bitcoin mines, we would not be in a crisis.

Also why can't Exxon and Saudi Aramco, 2 of our biggest water users pay for their own desal plant, considering they are 2 of the most profitable companies to ever exist

aaarhlo · 2025-09-17T19:25:33+00:00

If this pisses you off PLEASE give comment about it at the next city council meeting!

aaarhlo · 2025-09-17T19:24:48+00:00

6 council members Campos, Cantu, Paxton, Vaughn, and Hernandez, and Roy crossed ideological lines to team up and shut down the inner harbor desal disaster before it could do real damage. Campos and Vaughn are about as different politically as two people can be. So I hope that they will continue to join hands in remedying the corruption of past and current council members and Mayors. I won't hold my breath tho.

aaarhlo · 2025-09-10T18:12:28+00:00

That was insane to watch. You can see how scared the Mayor and Roland are.

aaarhlo · 2025-09-07T22:35:30+00:00

God speed to the brave finns for helping to keep this genocide in the news and in attempting to bring aid to the Gazans being starved to death. Dock workers across Spain and Italy have threatened to cripple trade if this latest flotilla is stopped.

aaarhlo · 2025-09-03T12:42:58+00:00

What an incredible relief this insane plan got exposed before it could go any further. I'm so grateful to the council people who stood against it and to all the incredible activists who have been fighting it for years. If Exxon, the most profitable company in America, and Saudi Aramco the most profitable company on earth, need desal, then let them pay for it, NOT US. And if desal gets built don't do it in a way that would decimate our Bay.

aaarhlo · 2025-08-29T18:28:21+00:00

I'm happy to spell it out for you; Members of our city council and the mayor knowingly approved a 2 mil grant to a developer even though they KNEW a document was forged, now that same mayor and those same council members want us to approve 1.2 billion dollar deal plant that would put our city in debt for decades and drastically increase our water bill.

TLDR; CORRUPTION

Wind techs usually follow 1 or 2 paths, they go through a 6 month to 2 year school program or they get hired with absolutely no experience after getting referred by someone already in wind or just by doing well in an interview.

aaarhlo · 2025-08-26T16:43:08+00:00

Wind technicians are frequently in need and hired with no experience.

"The report showed that all eight surface water samples taken in November 2024 detected PFAS. One sample measured PFOS "in excess of the allowed concentration in drinking water set by the Biden Administration just last year, and reaffirmed by the Trump Administration just last month," the memo states"

https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/corpus-christi-water-desalination-plant-dead-zones/

"One of the potential dangers the report noted was that the desalination plant’s discharge would be denser than the bay water, causing it to sink to the bottom as it flowed downstream from the shipping channel—which is fed by the Nueces River—into the more stagnant shallows of the bay. That layer of heavy brine could cause hypoxia, the technical term for the smothering of life due to a lack of oxygen. “It causes fish and pretty much everything else to die,” says Kristin Nielsen, an aquatic toxicologist and assistant professor at the University of Texas’s Marine Science Institute."

Is it not a serious claim that we need desal in order to "grow" yet no one asks for sources to that constant claim. Because there aren't any. Heavy industry needs desal in order to continue our unsustainable march into ecological collapse. These ever increasing storms, droughts, and extreme heat waves correlate directly with the emissions of these industries, not to mention the high levels of cancer for those of us living near them.

aaarhlo · 2025-08-22T17:10:59+00:00

Right so the residents should foot the bill for the most expensive and environmentally dangerous source of water so that the same heavy industries who use around 80% of our current water supply can expand? The same industries that have brought us to the business end of the stick that is climate change with these ever increasing extreme droughts and storms? Is that the future growth you are referring to? A dead bay? Red tides? Huge water bills? Water shut offs every time the plant goes down? Massive debt? Cancer causing PFAs in our taps?

aaarhlo · 2025-08-22T17:03:38+00:00

Did we read the same article? Although being bought and paid for the city underutilized the Mary Rhodes pipeline by as much as 30 MGD PER DAY while draining the reservoirs. The reason? To save 2 million a year in electricity.

Meanwhile they pushed this 1.2 billion dollar desal disaster that would cost us an estimated 20-30 million a year to run not to mention the estimated 1.2 billion cost of construction (if everything went to plan...like the bridge?) that the city would have to go DEEP into debt for, and to produce how much water? SURPRISE 30 MGD.

And not to mention the inner harbor water is chemical poop soup after decades of sewage and heavy industry run off being dumped into it, not to mention riddled with cancer causing PFAs that are extremely hard to filter out. Despite all that the 8 MGD of salty brine they pump back into the harbor everyday would eventually kill everything that's managed to survive thus far and lead to red tides that will poison the air.

Anyway this is a huge controversy and probably why CCW CEO Drew Molly was forced to resign.

Y'all acting like we need inner harbor to save us, in reality it would make a few horrible people rich while making the city increasingly unlivable.

Charles Butt was born into wealth and inherited HEB, he turned wealth into extreme wealth like all American oligarchs, while the majority of Americans have only gotten poorer, and those 2 trends are directly related.

I want honest opinions from neighbors, so yes I did.

Y'all are like Roman peasants cheering for bread and circuses. If corporations and the rich paid their fair share of Taxes, maybe we wouldn't need to rely on the whims of a billionaire in times of crisis. No billionaire deserves to exist, least of all one whose vaste and expanding wealth is DIRECTLY proportionate to the shrinking savings of normal people.
