re: #317 Shiplord Kirel

That’s almost too good to be true.

But it is:

Back in March, after the Japanese earthquake, Eric Cantor defended Republican plans to cut funding from the USGS and warning systems to help in case of a disaster.

Update: Apparently, budget cuts in the 1990s led to the removal of seismic equipment at the North Anna plant…Cantor was in VA’s House of Delegates from 1992 to 2001, so there’s a decent chance he had a part in those budget cuts.

Wingnuts fail at reading signs from God :P
