    Annoying the marines is normal ruler bullshit, but annoying the army corps of engineers is a kind of stupid reserved for those who use outhouses during tornado warnings. You dont want them to quit, they keep the Mississippi River in place

      Well I mean that river should have naturally moved to the other side of Louisiana like 75 years ago. Now the entire state is sinking since it’s not getting its normal fill of sediment. Good ol’ Congress deciding that stuff has to go through New Orleans instead of Lafayette because of reasons.
