@LnzyHou
How much damage can one hurricane do, hundreds of miles from the #Florida coast? @InUnfunky #Helene
I am still traumatized.
@Bix @LnzyHou @InUnfunky
Section of I-40 in Tennessee washed out, hospital staff and patients trapped on the roof in a small town in Tennessee. Trees down all over, many out of power.
Where’s FEMA ?????
@LnzyHou @Bix @InUnfunky
Our dip shit governor finally declared an emergency, so now FEMA can step in.
@Bix I know 0_o , I feel so badly for the minority out there that knew better but was stuck!
1) Natural disasters like hurricanes are terrible.
2) Climate change is exacerbating the damage caused by such.
3) Stepping out of my "guy who writes on CoSo for free" persona to talk in Flurduhn to Wiggy who ain't readin' this -- Y'all, don't be condescendin' and also don't baby them crackers who vote fer stupid people. Read a book, a newspaper, turn off Fox News. Trump and Ron are worse cuz they use you. I used ta think like y'all until I WOKE UP. Y'all kin do tha same, too.
@InUnfunky
People in #Florida are getting the government that they voted for. #DeSantis

Wiggy's point is valid BUT trotted out as a straw man since that whole "flyover country" shit gained popularity. The rubes and the uneducated have been tricked by the GOP and led down the primrose path of hatred for votes n' tax cuts. They think that Trump cares about them?
And they've been duped into despising Bubba, Al Jr, HRC, Joe, Momala, et al...the people who WANT to help them.
You can't cure hate with a job.
Only education will do that.
MAGA shits on that, too.
But MDB...
When things seem bleak, I often take inspiration and assurance from the great British philosopher and musician Gordon Sumner who wrote "Men go crazy in congregations, they only get better one by one."
Here he's seen with Dominic Miller, Vinnie, and Sancious...🙄 😉 😜
@InUnfunky @Bix A warrior-poet of the highest Order, that one…
@Bix the news is still focused on the barrier islands in FL. (the ones under sea level owned by rich people, with resorts) and ignoring rual Florida, (where it actually hit,) Appalachia, has been wrecked and out of contact for days, and they are just starting to mention it. whole towns have been lost. Lots of Atlanta is flooded, and tenn, and Ohio, If the dems want to make a political statement, now is the time to help. Because whatever you're alignment is. These people really need help rn.
Hurricane #Helene
It is hard not to feel hatred towards people that laughed at us for worrying about the climate crisis 3 decades ago.
