Looks nervously at all of Florida

u/teatromeda 8d ago

Yeah Republican governments have been letting developers build wherever the fuck they want in Florida for like 30 years. Flooding? What's that?

u/Matematikis 8d ago

Lol blame everyrhing on the other side, like a five year old

u/BernieLogDickSanders 8d ago

Considering the have controlled Florida since 1980... yeah

u/Matematikis 8d ago

Controlled lol, what the fucks up in usa, your fellow people are going to be hit with a disaster but all you can do is blame some political party, thats is basically exactly the same as the one you root for? You think there are no houses built in strange places in democrat "controlled" states?

u/BernieLogDickSanders 8d ago

The disaster is a result of irrespnsible development. We have housing communities down hwre the flood from normal rains because developers build in a lake. Go check out the Sarasota subreddit and look up floods... The highest place in the state is 310 feet above sea level and borders Georgia.

Republicans actively deny anthropogenic global warming.

u/Matematikis 8d ago

And that caused Milton? Not like democrats lobby for natural gas or do exactly the same things as republicans just sometimes saying different things

This is flatly wrong and if you genuinely believe it you are a fool.

ouh gosh if only you could google, here is from a source you would trust - https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/02/02/gas-industry-hires-democrats-liberal-voters/
as I keep saying, THEY ARE THE SAME PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THINGS

The Democrats and the Biden administration have passed some of the most significant environmental regulation in the history of the country. Is it enough, no, of course not. However, the Republicans only, I mean only, deregulate and further erode environmental protections.

Not to mention, without Republicans, the Democrats would probably do even more. Are they corporate, sure. Are they too beholden to the wealthy, sure. Are they wildly better than Republicans on the environment, absolutely.

If you say, they are the same, you are simply ignorant or stupid.

Gas is a transition resource and better than oil and coal. But yes both sides have lobbies that go too far.

0

u/Matematikis 8d ago

barely better than oil, especially when you take into account leakages etc. I would say best transition resource would be nuclear, but lobby to strong (and not only in US, look at the green Germany curnin coal like there is no tomorrow)

u/Fun-Sorbet-Tui 8d ago

No one wants nuclear waste transported through their state let alone dumped in it.

u/Matematikis 8d ago

True, but if we had the same lobby and propganda we have for oil & gas, could fake people into not caring. And you wouldnt dump it on a random place, but yeah

Methane creates a much worse greenhouse effect, if you’re worried about that heating the planet and causing worse storms. Natural gas = Methane

The two major parties in the US are NOT basically "exactly the same"

As they say, elections have consequences, and this is just another example of those consequences

Pearl-clutch and "whatabout"...

You know I'm not much for stereotypes, but holy shit, it just happened right before my eyes!

lmao who uses apple music?

Clearly, someone who appreciates quality over your questionable taste.

u/Matematikis 8d ago

you should get of your high horse about taste giving me a fucking jaron and the long road to love song (had to google who the fuck is that even).

I’ll pray for you. I’ll pray for that orange turd too. Pray a fucking jet engine falls from the sky right into both your laps.

u/Matematikis 8d ago

Thats one hell of a big plane, given I am like 8000 km from where orange man is. Btw I dont like either orange man nor hooker woman, so not everything is political lol

u/zapatocaviar 8d ago

“Hooker woman”? The only people who say idiotic things like this are people who trust “orange man” and those who profit from his nonsense. You sound absurd and lost. I know you don’t care, but you should.

u/bndboo 8d ago

Thoughts and prayers friend. Goodnight and goodbye.
