They don’t even stop and think about how utterly fucking ridiculous these accusations are. I bet you dollars to donuts that near the DC monuments there are cameras everywhere. Where’s the footage of these evil Dems dumping buckets of algae in the pool? Any (reliable) eyewitness reports? Any scientists taking samples and maybe seeing if the algae was recently disturbed/transplanted?
I mean, I get it, their feelings mean more to them than facts and evidence, but c’mon, man. This is a 4th grade level critical thinking exercise.
You know more about water chemistry than most of my coworkers at my power plant. I get so tired of telling them to watch the tower pH and make sure the acid is running in auto so the hypo will actually fucking do something. It’s a miracle that our condenser performance isn’t trashed by fouling. I’ve caught tower pH at fucking 9 before when it’s supposed to be 7.0-7.5, and I’m trying to push for 6.8-7.2.
Better than when cooling water is supplied with an expensive reverse osmosis unit which then proceeds to corrode the entire carbon steel cooling water system due to pH of 5.5 since everyone is convinced water so pure can’t do any damage.
They are just that dumb. Half of all Americans are complete and utter morons. Like we have our fair share of idiots in Europe, but most of our idiots seem to be a lot smarter those MAGA people.
Didn’t they fire a bunch of nuclear waste inspectors and then couldn’t rehire them because they’d already turned in all their work phones? Sorted that mess alone out probably put them over budget
There is a much easier way to make algae grow in a shallow slow flowing body of water, just paint the bottom a dark color, that way the water stays warm, most algae love warm water. So all you need to do is get a company to come drain it and paint it a dark color, and Bob’s your uncle. It has the added effect of the water staying at the ideal temp for algae growth for a longer percentage of the year, just got to find someone stupid enough to sign off on the plan.

Republicans: there is literally no way to tell if something is true other than someone telling me it is
Other than an authoritative man telling them.
These people were raised wrong.
Or some random guy on YouTube. Being on a screen means you know what you’re talking about right?
As long as they project absolute confidence.
Clearly their pool guy is a dirty dem. He purposely let the Ph level rise and alkalinity get low so the the chlorine was useless…
Way too scientific for them, it confuses them.
They only need “the Dems did it, they are evil”

Did you mean to word it this way? Rising pH means increasing alkalinity. If the alkalinity is getting lower, then the pH is dropping.
No, “alkalinity” is confusingly another term for water hardness or buffer capacity in English (for historical reasons I guess?).
I meant Total Alkalinity as a buffer, either way the water is out of balance causing any chlorine (if any) to be ineffective and letting Alagae grow.

As someone born, raised and living in the US, I have to disagree with this statement. It’s clearly more then half
Well we did export a lot of our idiots there, so…
One guy commented that DOGE had saved us billions but the media wouldn’t cover it.

Look up screwworm infestations.

Buckets of algae wouldn’t get it. People would be dumping multiple 50# bags of fertilizer in there. Still every bit as absurd.

Sorry, they cut the security budget. No tapes, only word of mouth.
