    just looked it up. the place he went to was literally 2 miles from the white house, in the middle of a fucking 6 million metropolis. honestly, regardless of what the national park said, who chooses a place like that for a swim and expects it not to be polluted?

      Me to be honest. Where, if not in your capital, would you be able to enforce environmental protection of your streams?

      Granted our biggest cities are smaller than those of most other countries, but in Zürich, Bern and Basel you see people bathing in the Limmat, Aare and Rhine respectively all the time.

    That’s where the brainworms comments are from.

    I didn’t realize Rock Creek was considered so polluted.

    At least it isn’t as bad as the Anacostia River
