They found the only way to be more annoying than to just keep denying.

Admit it’s not normal, and come up with a dumb fuck explanation.

I think it's largely too late. When Germany is (maybe? If i read that right?) In the path of a hurricane we're facing something no one is ready for.

What I think is going to happen is that major population and industrial centers are going to be destroyed faster than they can be repaired or moved, which will create knock-on effects damaging the whole economic system. Like there will be one single vital doo-dad factory that supplies 90% of a critical doo-dad, it'll get flattened, and the doo-dad shortage will reduce the production of doohickeys by 30%, which will have it's own effects.

And meanwhile the us and gulf nations will have millions of utterly impoverished refugees fleeing from region to region ahead of storms and heat bubbles, swamping city and state resources while the feds try to find a way to means test cholera.

Many of the gulf states are already in horrible shape, and this new normal of very strong storms is going to beat them flat and send their people fleeing.

Just trying not to think much about what happens in the rest of the gulf where the economy is even worse than say mississippi. : (

It's real fucking grim.

Whenever some fellow Star Trek fan talks about how "Darmok" is unrealistic because they think nuanced meaning can't be derived from a simple phrase that requires broader context to understand, I just think of these emojis and memes in general. "Homer smiling, his finger raised." "Fry, his eyes narrowed." "Picard, face in hand." Once one knows the context then they become great ways to quickly convey complex thoughts.

Honestly kinda wondering if there'll be any fallout on him regarding the upcoming devastation since there's very little to no actual funded prep for hurricanes in the state and insurance companies are likely going to go insolvent form this.

All those Chuds we got from upstate New York suddenly move back there all at once. So much for "no state income tax."

Sorry comrade. I hope you and yours come through this okay.

The Three-Fifths Compromise

Is that because only three fifths of the state will not be submerged, or that each adult Floridian on average will have only three fifths of their own body above the water line?

Feels like the "we should put our emergency response center right under the Twin Towers" level of civic planning.

Jesus I'm honestly wondering how many staff are even going to come to work? Like for real any nurse or doctor coming in knows they aren't going to get relief once that storm hits and likely will have to go well beyond 24hrs+ providing continual care (god help those working in the ICU or trauma bays...), at the same time if they leave they will get charged with patient abandonment possibly compromising their licenses.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy may be living there soon

Some kind of masque of the red death shit where they build higher and higher walls to keep poor and people out and then a storm fills the walls with water.

glad to see the empire suffering the consequences too.

If the empire were to truly suffer, this would have sneaked up on Miami when the billionaires weren't watching. Or, at a minimum, hit Orlando before it hit Tampa Bay.
