    The state continues to elect dipshits like Desantis, despite the evidence being blazingly obvious they’ll be the first in the line of fire.

    What happens next should surprise nobody, and if somebody is surprised they were almost definitely part of the problem and should stay in Florida, if you catch my drift.

        If you continue to keep your eyes closed while walking, and everyone is screaming to tell you to stop… No one will be there to physically stop you from walking, you’re on your own journey. Either open your eyes and look around, or don’t be mad when you fall off the cliff.

          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”

                Maybe it’s cause it’s text.

                  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 guess I’d take it as a warning, and start planning your departure soon.

                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
