This is Scott Ruskan, the US Coast Guard hero who saved 165 campers from the floods at Camp Mystic. He's 26 years old, and this was his first mission. (lemmynsfw.com)

Let's call it what it is: propaganda

They trotted out this story the moment the death toll hit 80, and wouldn't you know it, this one guy saved DOUBLE that number of people. So really, we should be thanking this guy and praising the coast guard, right?

Not thinking about the fact that this was a preventable disaster directly resulting from the government spending cuts to critical weather monitoring services because they dont want to have climate change reported on.
