    So as long as it’s just the poors swept away by the tide it’s cool?

      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?

              I didn’t know telling you to start planning and start doing something about your situation rather than just bitch about people “Hoping that I die because I can’t be assed to start moving away!” Was being a dick. But take care, I hope all works well for you.

                Oh, well it’s a dick move to tell people to make more money. In case you didn’t know that. Take care!

                  Moving doesn’t require money just so you know. Its very very possible to grab the things on your back and physically move yourself. If you haven’t quite understood that, then I’m sorry I had to paint it in such a picture. Its why I said “Not everyone can do this” but pretending money is the problem is an excuse.

                    Where can you live without money? What if I’m in a wheelchair?
