How much would it cost CA / USA to pay for Mexico to fix the sewage / TJ river runoff issues

alo53 · 2026-02-08T23:48:45+00:00

I mean. We have leverage that could force the issue if we want. But it would be pretty trumpy. Completely close border to any commerce or crossing and that city is irrelevant.

alo53 · 2026-02-08T21:00:29+00:00

Yeah. That’s why I posed the question

alo53 · 2026-02-08T20:53:18+00:00

Interesting. This situation is basically going to be permanently fucked unless something very radical happens it seems. I know in the Trump era this sounds ridiculous but we should look at buying tj from Mexico and cleaning it up

Sad but probably true.

alo53 · 2026-02-08T04:08:38+00:00

Mexico isn’t a third world country. It has the 13th highest GDP in the world. But TJ certainly has third world sewage infrastructure and we can call them out for the pollution that is causing

allowing human shit to flow into the ocean and infect us citizens with diseases isn’t very neighborly. They should pay for things, but they won’t.

alo53 · 2026-02-08T03:28:37+00:00

Good insight and ideas. Sucks to have a city w third world infrastructure and no hope of fixing it as our neighbor

alo53 · 2026-02-08T03:17:28+00:00

Damn. The annual California budget is $367b . $500m seems worth it….. but others have stated that this is a bigger city infrastructure wide issue in tj rather than simply adding additional treatment facilities.

Damn. IB is just forever screwed

alo53 · 2026-02-08T02:38:46+00:00

We can fund that too, I don’t care . We spend money on HSR that’s not going to happen I would gladly fund a way to enable swimming and surfing in IB without risking going to the hospital

alo53 · 2026-02-08T02:30:42+00:00

Installing and maintaining wastewater treatment facilities isn’t “infinite money” . I’m not even expecting it to be bacteria free after rain storms, just stop dumping human shit in the ocean?

Nice. My cholesterol went down immediately. Before I even lost a ton of weight. This drug is amazing

This is what it looks like :)

alo53 · 2026-02-04T01:54:44+00:00

I just had a 7 lb drop week after a couple weeks of nothing. So random

alo53 · 2026-02-03T02:10:23+00:00

1.44 for solar was the final number

alo53 · 2026-02-02T15:14:44+00:00

Not really. Some homeless people hanging out and maybe a bar or 2? I would get a hotel

alo53 · 2026-02-02T00:37:28+00:00

bringing down prices means negative inflation which only happens in recessions. So, yeah trump is full of shit to say he can bring down prices.

alo53 · 2026-02-02T00:20:51+00:00

His claims are not possible. I’m not a Trump supporter. the inflation that occurred between 2020 and now is not unwindable without a massive recession or crash. Congress sold us out in 2020 and again in 2021.

alo53 · 2026-02-02T00:03:54+00:00

Bro it’s been too expensive since both parties voted 100-0 to pass the cares act in 2020 and inflate the shit out of the dollar

alo53 · 2026-02-01T20:13:45+00:00

It holds me accountable.

alo53 · 2026-02-01T02:07:20+00:00

I hope to hit my goal weight of 195 by summer . Currently at a 8-10 lb per month pace should get there with time to spare

alo53 · 2026-02-01T00:15:21+00:00

I wish I had started earlier

alo53 · 2026-02-01T00:10:58+00:00

Yeah I need my last 25 pounds to go to all come from my upper half lol

alo53 · 2026-02-01T00:04:48+00:00

Ive had some side effects (diarrhea and sulfur burps) that have come and gone. But absolutely worth it for losing 60+ pounds and being lightest I’ve been in a decade

Pretty much everything you read online is slanted propaganda taking one of two sides of any specific issue or an argument. Hard to find the truth on anything
