BATON ROUGE, LA—Celebrating the finished project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, federal officials announced Monday that construction was finally complete on a canal connecting chemical runoff with the Mississippi River. “After 20 years in the making, the Phosphorous Canal will allow toxic waste chemicals to flow directly from nearby chemical facilities to the Mississippi River in half the time,” said U.S. Army Corps of Engineers chief engineer Lt. Gen. Scott A.
For too long, chemical runoff like phosphorus, nitrogen, and carbonyl sulfide has been forced to take the long way around through local soils before making it to the Mississippi. This project, first proposed decades ago, took hundreds of workers a couple decades to finally construct, but making chemicals from dozens of far-flung industrial sites flow straight into the Mississippi this efficiently is well worth the wait.
USACE says next project is to rig the Mississippi Bridges at Vicksburg and Memphis to implode on Halloween. Stay tuned!
'Federal officials also responded to concerns about the project’s potential impact on residents, promising that the Phosphorus Canal Zone could increase local cancer rates by as much as 250%.' 🤣🤣😐😭
I hope that stuff gets into the drinking water. I wanna have superpowers! That's how you get them, right? I want the ability to see thru clothing, and such. I have$1000 to anyone who ships me a drink. I live in Colorado. Tweet for Addy!
Army Corp Of Supervillains exceedingly pleased with themselves and, to a somewhat lesser extent, their henchmen.
And the media wants us to believe that we don't invest infrastructure.
The no.1 polluter of the Mississippi river, is the Minnesota river. And yes, it's farm runoff.
Bout time!
Finally, tax dollars being used on something important 🙌 👏
