I have no idea why their property is worth anything. Well I do, ignorant boomers. That market will someday crash though, as the sea retakes everything and the majority of younger folks have no interest in moving there.

This way only people who can buy in cash can purchase florida properties, since they'll be uninsurable.

No more of those mortgage-needing peasants!

"Sell their houses to who, Ben? Fucking Aquaman?"

Small 'brained' government

No no, see it can be big as long as it works for the corporations, or, uh, we mean the people. It can be big as long as it works for the people. Wait no, that's not right either.

Nothing says small government like the bigger government telling the smaller government no.

Small oppressive sensitive grifting fascist wasteful and willfully ignorant government.

It was meant for economic stuff. Same with how they pursued "economic individualism" rather than "self expression", even if some young conservatives think otherwise.

"You WILL emit toxic fumes and you WILL like it!"

I didn't think they'd be that dumb and leave a loophole for net-negative policies, but holy shit:

"Net zero policy" means any policy, program, or initiative designed to achieve a balance between total amount of greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere with an equal amount removed from the atmosphere.

It literally is net-zero. Removing more CO2 than you emit is absolutely allowed.

Small enough to get anywhere it needs to be. No larger than a bullet.

I've been told that only applies to the overall federal, and that states rights are important (somehow city & counties don't have those)... oddly enough these are the same places that claim that slavery wasn't the reason for the civil war.

Let people find energy wherever they want.

Doesn't align well with fascist policy.

Florida - The Maritime State

They don't care, because Jesus is coming back.

I always remind myself of this when they do something so colossally stupid. It's small comfort, of course, but it's something.

Oil dependence is use as a of controlling the world. Renewables changes that control. Therefore Renewables must be stopped.

Not the world, just the bulk of humanity. We're cluttering the place up and ruining their nice views and beaches and such. As long as there are enough left to serve their needs she produce attractive children for them, the rest of us are quickly becoming unnecessary problems.

It is. It might not even be part of a strategy, if you look how they compuksively jack off the torment nexus.

The idea I think is to destabilize India/China and then figure it out.

I've never heard this theory please share it.

While simultaneously crying about declining fertility rates. They can't make up their fucking minds.

Or when enough MAGAts drop dead fom the heat.

They will successfully target negative meters above sea level

Well, a Republican is doing it, so I’m sure our wise and beneficent Supreme Court will have no problem finding it enforceable

Just gonna go ahead and start a landscaping/trash burning company

They aren't Christian.

The only time Christ really threatens damnation (Matthew 25), it's over the mistreatment of the poor, sick, imprisoned, and foregners.

For their king, they sure do excel at ignoring his wishes.

Its immediate gratification and profit extraction for the anyone currently able. No planting trees for the next generation that's not tied to some grift.

florida murica

In the path of something, maybe smaller and faster than a hurricane.

Like a an ant at the focal point of a very large magnifying glass. He'll only catch fire if he believes in physics, right?

More of that "Just lie back and let it happen" mentality. Like they actually get indignant when people try to protect themselves from harm.

net-negative goal, still not net-zero so all good!

Fractions are non-zero: Net 10^-18^

Reform has scrapping net zero as one of its main campaign points at local and national level.

Not that it’s limited to the right wing. The prime mover in the Government considering scrapping its ban on new North Sea drilling is from the unions pressuring them to do so.

Murica is a very weird place where folk don’t seem to get punished electorally for being an asshole.

“Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities - and they are elected by American citizens.

This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, […] you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.” – George Carlin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70

See how few vote for ethical people like Nader, the Greens, ...

Electorate? Voting? What's that??
