But China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC) has refuted the claims, saying all measurements of the dam’s displacement were in line with its design parameters, which require a degree of flexibility.

“The distribution of vertical and horizontal displacements is related to the height of the dam … and is in line with the deformation law of a concrete gravity dam,” the company said

Downriver, firefighters and others finished filling in a 188-meter (620-foot) break in a dike on Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, Xinhua said.

The dike gave way nine days ago, flooding 15 villages and agricultural fields in Jiangxi province, the news agency said. More than 14,000 people were evacuated.

The incoming waters were expected to peak Saturday behind the Three Gorges Dam, but more water is forecast to arrive around Tuesday, Xinhua said. The hydropower dam is used to mitigate catastrophic flooding.

Seasonal flooding strikes large parts of China annually, especially in its central and southern regions, but the rainfall has been unusually high this year.

About 1.8 million people have been evacuated and direct losses attributed to flooding are estimated at more than 49 billion yuan ($7 billion), according to the Ministry of Emergency Management.

If China admits anything, is the real data worse?

I ask because China has always been willing to kill its own people to save face, if it means not admitting anything is wrong.... and the US's own MSM has been assisting them.

If Three Gorges falls, will Hoover, which is older and better made, suffer an 'accident' in turnabout?

A sternly worded letter?

Or something more dramatic?

Beijing will take just and necessary actions if Washington does not immediately revoke its wrong decision
to ask China to close its consulate in Houston, FM spokesman Wang Wenbin said on Wednesday, calling the
US move a unilateral political provocation against China.

Fuck China.

https://vietnamtimes.org.vn/china-massi ... 22556.html: Chinese authorities blew up a dam in Anhui Province on Sunday to release surging waters behind it as the flood widely spreads across the country affecting about 40 million people.

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3971726: Video surfaced on Wednesday (July 22) showing a dam in eastern China's Anhui Province opening all 14 of its flood gates, flooding tens of thousands of acres of farmland.

https://asiatimes.com/2020/07/three-gor ... operators/: In a rare revelation, Beijing has admitted that its 2.4-kilometer Three Gorges Dam spanning the Yangtze River in Hubei province “deformed slightly” after record flooding.

The official Xinhua News Agency quoted the operator of the the world’s largest hydroelectric gravity dam as saying that some nonstructural, peripheral parts of the dam had buckled.

Videos surfaced on Monday (July 6) after tenants from the 9th to 60th floors of Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in China, found themselves drenched with leaking water.

According to local Chinese media reports, the leaks inside the massive tower started on Monday. The water leaks were so severe that many videos show "rain" and "waterfalls" dropping down from the ceilings, ruining office equipment and electronic devices.

As you may (or may not) remember, there was heavy wrangling and debate over the 800+ billion dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Now...

The Treasury Department said Monday that it will borrow $3 trillion during the current quarter to cover the massive cost of
the federal government’s response to the coronavirus crisis...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahhanse ... 73d1a45306

That is more than 3x the 2009 amount IN ONE QUARTER of the year, and they just did it like "Oh well."
No debating, no wrangling.

Look folks, anyone who is trying to sing to you about the wonderful pink unicorn economic recovery is -----> BLATANTLY LYING TO YOU.

The U.S. economy is toast.

Interest rates (near 0%) can never be raised because it will jack up the amount we must pay to service the debt that we have accrued.
The U.S. can also never repay its debts, and this will undoubtedly end up in -----> WAR.

What is it good for?
Absolutely -----> nothing.

States are broke and pensions are totally skrewed.

Tax revenue is skrewed.

Funny money glues things together, and jacks up the stock market, so that charlatans can chirp to you about... recovery, but these con men are completely full of shit.
They have an agenda.

This is fiscal armageddon, friends.
I'm not joking with you.
Open your eyes.

The 2nd half of this year is going to be -----> frightful.

Buckle up.
I'm cereal.

Another US Covid 19 milestone!

150,000 Coronavirus deaths in the US

At this pace of 1,000 per day, we'll be at 230,000 deaths by election day and possibly 300,000 by Biden's inauguration. Instead of this being a damning indictment of Trump and GOP rule in America, Left Shitter will be by anytime to whine and cry about how I didn't an original off cuff death count guess right and that I should be banned for that.

You responded to a Hungus bet and now want out of it.

The fact you are an idiot and don’t live up to your bets isn’t my fault. Further calling me names when you are the welcher says everything about you.

But hey the CDC says Covid cases are likely 10 times what has been reported. So somewhere north of 40 million today. If that is correct the death rate is exponentially smaller and furthers your idiocy.

But you do you and complain about the unemployment and the infection rate in the same breath. You are a piece of shit that wants more deaths and more unemployment because you think it helps your team in Nov elections. That is sad and disgusting.

Michigan

Coronavirus restrictions are being tightened again in Upper Michigan.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Executive Order 2020-160 and Executive Order 2020-161, amending Michigan’s
Safe Start Order and issuing revised workplace safeguards. Under the Safe Start Order, starting July 31, 2020,
statewide indoor gatherings will be limited to 10 people and bars will be closed for indoor service across the state,
including in Regions 6 and 8.

“As we see COVID-19 cases continue to rise, Michiganders cannot afford to drop our guard. We must take every
step possible to save lives, protect the brave men and women on the front lines...

A national plan is not only unnecessary, it is idiotic. The impact of the chinky virus differs from state to state and county to county within the states. It's a local matter. The federal gov't can and has augmented the ability of states to handle it. Remember the hospital ships and military hospitals that went completely unused?
