The year is 2039, Florida has been perpetually under hurricanes for 3 weeks straight as hurricane after hurricane makes landfall. After careful review, it's been determined that the hurricanes have caused $0.00 in damage. There's nothing to be concerned about. FEMA has not been dispatched as there is no emergency.
… as there is no FEMA
Also, barely any Florida.
Every second the bastard exists is a fucking tragedy
The GOP Climate Change plan of action has been revealed. It is a three pronged plan:
...while being evil.
This won't fool the insurance companies. They're the ones on the hook for this.
Depends. Some of their CEOs will shamelessly bow to the party line, though not all. Definitely not Berkshire-Hathaway.
What do you mean? They have to update their risk models or they'll go out of business unless I'm misunderstanding.
They will have to pick between lip service (and hiding the changes by, say, quietly pulling out of places?) and government retribution. Mark my words, at some point they will go after any kind of “climate agenda.”
And that balance will depend on leadership. I mentioned Berkshire specifically because (at the top level, at least) they’re pretty old school with a low tolerance for nonsense, and big enough to eat the retribution.
No they'll just say what the government wants and do what they have to anyway. Hypocrisy is the way they operate already.
Trump only gives a shit about what people say publicly anyway. It's the single most important thing for him.
Lol no they aren't and don't give two shits.
"If we stop testing for Covid or numbers will go down."
Bye Florida
Out of sight out of mind. Kind of like the wasteland the south is going to become after the next couple of years of storms.
Yes, that will really make it all better and stop any further damage from climate related issues. Just like not looking at the power bill means that I don't have to pay it.
