Dumb and Dumber: Water, Water everywhere and Jakartans should be thankful for it

In my old age I had thought I had left hatred behind.

You know, that visceral bile-like feeling that makes you want to rage, to laah out at the stupidity before you.

I was wrong. Now when I see the faces of Governor Anies Baswedan or his Deputy Sandi Uno, or hear thw utter rubbish, I am reminded how i haven’t been able to suppress my utter contempt in the fave of such stupidity.

The latest bile-inducing statement from Dumber Sandi is that GOd has favored Jakartans with rain so we should take that as a blessing.

All this in the same breath as saying neither he or Dumb have any solutions regarding the flooding of Jakarta.

Today there was a heavy rain, the main thoroughfare Jalan Sudirman is severely flooded and even my house at Senopati, which is considered at a high elevation, was inudated by 20cm of floodwaters.

How, oh how, if a God does exist did she create such a manifestation of stupidity?

Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Wakil Gubernur DKI Jakarta Sandiaga Uno menilai banjir dan genangan yang mengepung di beberapa titik akibat fenomena alam yang tidak bisa dihindari. Karena itu, dia meminta masyarakat untuk menerimanya.

“Kita enggak bisa melawan alam, kualat kalau ngelawan alam. Jangan bilang ini pasti surut atau banjirnya cuma segini. Ini adalah fenomena alam,” ujar Sandiaga Uno di Balai Kota, Senin (11/12/2017).

Menurut pria yang biasa disapa Sandi itu,hujan deras yang mengguyur ibu kota hingga dua jam lebih ini justru menjadi nikmat harus disyukuri.

“Allah lagi ngirimin hujan. Kalau kita punya sistem yang baik, hujan justru harus menjadi berkah bagi kita,” ucap politisi Partai Gerindra itu.
