What the fuck are you talking about? I’m one of the idiots trapped in Florida and can see it coming. It’s just shitty to see how people will treat you when devastation comes around. You know Florida is full of refugees that don’t get to vote right?
That took 2 comments of rage-bait bullshit for you to say that?
Like, at no point did you actually say you are a helpless victim in this.
It read like “I have and enjoy MY house on the beautiful coast. Why is everyone going to be so mean to me when the bill comes due?!”
What the fuck are you talking about? I’m just saying joking about not taking in climate refugees because they are from a place you thinks deserves it is fucked.
I mean, you made a lot of aggressive comments and exploded back at commenters before you actually explained your stance/position.
And it all read like “have pity on those beach front home owners when the tides come”, as opposed to “yeh, beach front home owners are assholes, I wish they would do something to actually help. Unfortunately the regular population are essentially hostage to ever increasing rent, insurance and food prices making moving anywhere safer more and more difficult each season”
If you read have pity on the beachfront owners from anything I wrote that’s entirely on you. What I said was if you’re gonna laugh about my death from the same wave that’s coming for you, that I hope somebody further north does the same thing to you. Most people down here are a bad day away from oblivion already. Probably just like where you’re from. For some reason it’s okay to rejoice at Floridians getting ruined though.
Bro I’ve met migrants who showed up with worn out shoes and a backpack. I’m not trying to be mean but most people mean won’t not can’t, you could drop everything and move to another country and get there largely by foot working odd jobs on the way. It being a smart idea is another thing entirely.
I dunno talking about your migrant acquaintance moving with nothing but rags on his feet and a tattered knapsack sounds like you’re about to give me some variation of pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Maybe I was hasty, but all the same I don’t need tips on moving.
The open your eyes part means; start planning now. Shouting and screaming won’t do anything to solve the issues you will face in the future. I am sorry you are jn this situation, but is been growing for the last 4 years or so…
You clearly don’t get it: Start PLANNING NOW. I’m not saying fuck poor, or fuck anyone. You seem to understand Florida will be flooding in the next 100 years, that sounds like plenty of time to plan and not be “surprised” when one day your home is no longer insurable
It’s gonna be here way sooner than that, I’m stuck watching it in real time. What you don’t seem to get is people can’t just conjure money out of the sky to do whatever they want. In fact most people are having to work two jobs to maintain a solid 600sqft and be able to afford food. And they can be panhandling if their car breaks down. And it’s about to be illegal to sleep in your car. What I’m saying to all you fine assholes is that not everybody here is sipping margaritas and watching the heat dancers club baby seals on their yacht every morning. A lot of us are watching this bomb go off in real time and it’s really shitty to hear people acting like we deserve it and we’ll be mocked or turned away should we have to leave.
Like this is a wild amount of comments I’ve gotten from people I’m in mostly agreement with, except for the whole not shitting on normal people trapped in a shitty circumstance thing.
And finally I don’t own a home, but most insurance companies have already pulled out of the state or jacked up their rates to unaffordable levels.
I’ve never owned a home, but when times get tough I always know what to do: Pick up my things and move. Yeah its not entirely possible a great swath of the human population, but thats not something I personally need to plan for now is it? No one deserves any of climate change to happen, but until people actually stand up and do something about it, it will not get better.
What are you doing about it aside from preaching to the choir? If you know it’s impossible for large chunks of the population to just up and move why are you being a dick about it?

Maybe it’s cause it’s text.

What do you mean trapped?
I mean I can’t relocate? I’m not chained to a radiator but thanks.

You know nothing about me or my situation and I didn’t ask for your input at all.
Clearly that’s why I asked a question rather than make an assumption.
I dunno talking about your migrant acquaintance moving with nothing but rags on his feet and a tattered knapsack sounds like you’re about to give me some variation of pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Maybe I was hasty, but all the same I don’t need tips on moving.
I said worn out shoes and a backpack, but your overdramatizing does in fact prove my point.
That you don’t know enough about me to be making suggestions on what I’m capable of?
I guess I’d take it as a warning, and start planning your departure soon.
You gonna help me pay for it?
The open your eyes part means; start planning now. Shouting and screaming won’t do anything to solve the issues you will face in the future. I am sorry you are jn this situation, but is been growing for the last 4 years or so…
So as long as it’s just the poors swept away by the tide it’s cool?
