    True, but migrants may severely hinder fema if they run out of them. Who do people think rebuilds the places natural disasters destroy? It’s cheap Mexican, Caribbean, and South American laborers

      Sir, this is a truth-free zone. We must all pretend that global warming is a shocking tragedy and not a self-inflicted comedy routine.

      Yeah! Let people die because the Americans who can vote in their gerrymandered districts “voted for ecological collapse!” Especially in those blue states where they elect politicians who want to do something to at least mitigate climate change.

      Millions of people deserve to die due to the actions of some of them! Especially the children who can’t vote! That’s only fair!

          Tampa is a city, thus urban, and many people there don’t own cars or have lawns.

          As far as meat eating, do tell us the name of the country that doesn’t have a significant number of meat eaters.

              I thought this was about your suggestions that FEMA should just allow all of these people to die. The poor, the homeless, the infirm, infants and children…

              I mean we could just speed up the process by opening camps and putting them inside. What do you think?

                  I see, so you want some sort of super-intensive spying system to figure out exactly who everyone voted for and then only give aid to ones who voted a certain way.

                  Sounds quite fascistic.

      Bold demand for the government to not repair lifesaving infrastructure. Do you feel that way regarding our slow rebuilding of Puerto Rico?

      No, actually, you should touch grass. That thread was entertaining though.

          You see here, I mean to enjoy the outdoors and maybe try to make an insignificant difference while you still have breath to whine with. That said, I agree with you, we fucked up, but should death be a reason to stop living?

          You come off that you’ve just learned of the world beyond and maybe on the younger side: don’t waste your time online, it is precious.

          Also if manicured grass is your reason for deserving death then really you may just be damaged
