It’s a total s**t show in Washington, DC. For those not following, four weeks ago, an underground sewage line failed, and the Potomac, which is already disgusting, has been flooded with hundreds of millions of gallons of human waste. If it hasn’t taken the title, it will soon for being the worst wastewater spill in US history.

To boot, it won’t be fixed for another 10 months. It should be covered, in The Washington Post of all places, but it isn’t. Maybe that’s because there’s a Joe Biden connection: the CEO and general manager of DC Water is David L. Gadis, who the former braindead president picked to serve on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council to "serve with distinction as the sole expert on the Council from the wastewater utilities sector" in 2022. Salena Zito had that tidbit (via NBC Washington):

No coverage of this in the Washington Post: https://t.co/lvgVVViwus

DC had a massive sewage spill in the Potomac River. CEO and general manager of DC Water is David L. Gadis was selected by President Joe Biden. Go figure.

Wow!  I ran a utility district for several years and I will tell you this would have been a nightmare to deal with.  The TCEQ would have been so far up my ass they could have checked my wisdom teeth.

I think this part of the article touches on why. In any other place in the country, the presence of excessive sewage and shit might seem strange and gross, but in DC, it's just part of the atmosphere. :-)
