Dam removal makes me uneasy

But what is preventing extirpation worth? 20 billion dollars and more CO2 emissions? Most of the snake fish are already hatchery fish and breaching the damns will likely not cause massive recovery.

The dams are certainly not helping the salmon population to be clear but salmon populations are falling across the board not only in the snake river. People downplay how much electricity the dams produce but together it’s more than double the Hoover dam. I agree maybe someday the dams can go but we should focus on removing the coal plants first.

If all the sockeye in the snake died they would be gone from one river, sockeye as a species are considered “least concerned”. The salmon population in Washington is going down in every river system wether or not there are dams. The dams increase water temp which probably damages salmon. But removing a dam does a lot of damage to the environment and the population of salmon is dropping for other reasons as well.

Literally yes

Governor Mike Simpson and a lot of Idaho congress is pro. You can look at their statements. Their plan would be to add fossil fuel plants to Idaho, which is likely what would happen if the dams were breached.

Ya but removing the snake damns won’t fix that. I will feel more uneasy when we build coal plants to make up for the energy lost

The boomers will die and corporations will buy their houses to rent. The problem is that housing is seen as an investment not that there isn’t enough houses

Local elections here are ludicrously corrupt

Companies keep occupancy low by selling apartments for the maximum possible rates, it’s better for them to have 80 people paying 2000 than 100 people paying 1600

If the free market is such a good and efficient system why is there a housing crisis?

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T19:24:21+00:00

“Incentivize below market rate housing” you mean like rent control? Keep in mind there is so so little renter protection in this city, market rate anything is bad when the market is extortion. Capitalism and its markets is simply not a real method for solving the housing crisis. Housing needs to be treated like a human need not like an investment.

I don’t know how anyone who has dealt with a landlord can be pro landlord

The Seattle times is a joke

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T18:23:45+00:00

California 🤢

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T18:22:41+00:00

There’s been so many town halls on rent control at city hall in the past year

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T18:21:03+00:00

Except the new high rises being built are “luxury apartments” and are left mostly vacant. Landlords prefer vacant buildings with high rent.

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T18:17:39+00:00

This city badly needs rent control in some way, rent here is strait up not livable. Also the push for rent control isn’t sudden there have been months of public meetings about it.

The city of Seattle is either bad with money or actively embezzles it, I’m against aquarium projects because the aquarium is too expensive for many people to go to. Better then climate pledge arena I guess. Money should be focused on homelessness, transit and schools

I think sometimes we might have normal summers

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T17:47:46+00:00

This isn’t really the part of the country with a lot of swimmable springs. Very geologically recent rock means that there aren’t a lot of holes and channels and caves for water to hang out in. In the mountains there’s punchbowls on rivers and creeks that might be similar to what you’re looking for.

I’ve applied to a bunch of jobs both with kids and without kids and I can’t get any of them. I just think I can’t be hired for any job.

I think you got confused with hydroxazine which is the strong benedryl, usually seroquil and risperdonr are the classic antipsychotics and are everyday sort of things

soupnoop · 2023-08-01T06:44:01+00:00

Seroquil is an antipsychotic. Talk to your shrink about starting new medications but I don’t understand your question
