Back to my "LINKS" again.
Once again, the disaster that IAN raged on FL is a painful, horrific event for the victims, some of which are my own family members. Today, the caravan of family heading south to help our family and others get back on their feet has had to reschedule its travelling plans because the weather is still a somewhat dangerous factor. But they will attempt to leave Wednesday. Positive vibes for them, please.
Now about those links: There are severe links for us blue state-ers to think about. Disasters like IAN will likely break the insurance companies for a while but insurance in blue states will rise as a result of those losses. There is no way these disasters do not affect us all.
Since there are limits to resources, there ought to be limits to growth in certain disaster areas. AND the same limits ought to apply to Blue states that are themselves experiencing the wear and tear of over-development on their aging infrastructures. Local official in counties in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and the parts of New England need to look hard at how their limited spaces and resources are being over-developed as building codes and regulations are being eliminated or relaxed. Those outrageously expensive new condos, apartments, and single family homes that are being thrown up within a few months and made out paper thin dry wall and inferior wood with little or no brick and mortar and inferior steel from abroad are disasters waiting to happen WHEN mother nature aims her climate arrows more inward from the coastal areas. DEREGULATION and GREED are coming to eventually get us all.
MAGAs do not realize how prescient their meme, "The Storm is Coming" is and how that "storm" is coming after them. Bill Nye, the Science Guy, said it all on CNN, as he trolled Tucker, the sucker guy (without saying his name).
