Florida, say "Hello" to Mother Nature

FEMA has a "complicated" conversation

it’s inevitable

the winds, faster than we’re “used to”, the water, “warmer than it used to be”

the government, finally shrunk to the size Grover Norquist dreamed about, so small it could be drowned in the bath tub

only that tub may be 4 feet high and covering 30% of Florida

when the winds come howling and the waters rise and seek “shelter” on (what was once) dry land

and the buildings and roads and utility lines and street lights and everything else

gets battered about

it will make for a sad, complex series of phone calls when DeSantis (Or whoever) comes calling, asking for the “tax and spend” government they so longed to kill

to suddenly reawaken just for them

FEMA is “different” now; small towns all across the South, or rural communities in the middle of America, without county or state funds to just “cover it all”

will be in for some hard times

this is inevitable

if Mango-Lardo gets hit by a hurricane, the US Navy will be there in 5 minutes

if a small town in Central Arkansas or North Dakota gets hit by a tornado or a disastrous flood, well “hate it for ya”, do the best you can

or move

this is the world they wanted and, my guess, it will not be the world (later on) they like
