Florida needs to stop rebuilding in the barrier islands. It’s unfortunate for the people that live there, but this is going to keep happening over and over again.
Just plant mangroves and let them do their job of protecting the mainland.
Anyone that rebuilds in place after their whole house is destroyed is nuts… if you get insurance payout… this is your chance to move.
Welcome to climate change. This is just the tip of the iceberg: things are just going to continue getting worse and worse each and every year.
there is absolutely nothing in florida that makes it worth living there
They do have a first-class spaceport… Watching a rocket takeoff from there would be the only reason I ever go to Florida.
i went to see a launch in early 00’s. it is interesting, maybe worth a trip, but not worth moving there
Florida is like an old used car: cheap upfront costs but expensive maintenance costs.
Florida is like an old used car: cheap up front costs for a dangerous vehicle that you know will eventually fall apart but you act surprised when you lose a ball joint in your front suspension on the highway while doing 120 kph because you ignored your mechanic for the fourth time this year. The look on your face as your car crosses the median and you’re about to impact a cement truck.
Alligators tell me otherwise. In fact, they tell me they look forward to having it back to themselves soon.
Disney world is pretty nice. Maybe we could move it out lol
Disney is the shittiest reason to come to FL.
Insurance companies in the US have become a Ponzai scam instead of a service.
is that a meme or did you accidentally butcher the term “ponzi scheme” which is something entirely different? not saying insurances aren’t often a scam. just a different kind.
I modified it slightly to suit the situation.
Why do you not think a Ponzai scheme fits?
I don’t understand the pun you are going for here
Because a Ponzi scheme revolves around paying past people with fresh money without using it as promised at all.
Insurances (when fraudulent) collect money but don’t pay out anyone unless forced by lawsuits. Ponzi schemes are s vers specific financial tactic.
I guess I see enough parallels to call it “close enough”, but I guess that’s a matter of perspective.
meanwhile the people taking your money and giving you nothing in return are laughing at the fact that people are spending time debating “what kind of scam” it is
If your insurance only covers 50% of the property value it is essentially useless.
This is absolutely insane.
Wait until you hear about the deductible… where I am (not earthquake country by any means) the deductible was $80k. I sad pass on that.
I’m perfectly fine letting Florida handle Florida’s problems.
Yup. Let the states decide, then pay for it
Someone should point out to most of the right wingers that FEMA is socialism
Dont worry they voted unanimously to not expand fema right before both hurricanes.
It’s only socialism when the libs get it. Otherwise it’s their god given right.
Yeah, but then we get Desantis as president in 2032…
Not a chance.
Also, we will be lucky if there is even an election in 2032.
Not if he has no state left to represent.
State? by then it will be a country governed by a Christian monarchy
Naw people hate that turd. Only reason folks think that is because he says the same stupid shit as Trump. But Trump is one of a kind in the crazy camp, can’t reproduce.
You’re right. There is no one “better” than trump at… whatever it is he does.
Raging narcissism
Who could have seen this coming?
If only climate scientists had warned us 50 years ago we probably could have done something.
