How Stupid Are They?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I have the same skepticism.

Yet they do and at the end of day we end up paying for their greed, entitlement, and selfishness.

Alas.
But what would be the practical solution?

Deny them building permits and/or insurance (build at your own risk).

Have you seen how some homeowners are jacking their shore houses up onto stilts, some which appear to be 10' above the sea-level "land" of their storm-damaged neighborhoods? It sure isn't where I'd line-up to buy a summer property.

Some? Seems almost a standard practice these days. Wonder how well they stand up against serious hurricane winds under them........

It was SEVERAL years back, but I recall seeing photos of a house down Ocean City, MD. way, where the sand had washed/blown out from under it during a hurricane. It was at least 20 feet in the air, maybe more. Not sure how much of those "stilts" remained under the sand. I wouldn't have wanted to enter!

Fema told people along the Delaware river “lift your house up or leave” people got a payment to lift, move, or stay and do nothing. If you stay and do nothing. “Don’t expect any financial help in later floods

How would they have had the nerve to say that if one must pay thousands for their coverage?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!They cant simply take the checks and walk away saying it's tough-nuggies, bichez.

From my personal experience with them, I find that hard to believe. FEMA was supportive and correct when we had to deal with them after a flood several years ago.

P.S. Thanx, Mitch.

Whoa, Murph! Whoa! Slow that trigger finger down on the submit button.

There's something else goin' on in this old world, and I don't believe I've yet to hear anything on the news from the "sky is falling" people, but I've read a little bit of it on the net. The claim is that the earth is changing or has shifted on its axis. If the tilt is altered, what would be the result? More exposure to the sun for a longer period of time for the poles? If we drop down say 2 degrees closer to where the original equator was, (longer exposure), could it account for warmer climate and ice melt? Lots of questions; not too many answers.

Oh, Murph. Such claims are no doubt promulgated by white supremacists and other deplorables and will truly harsh the narrative. Plus, could cut down on opportunities for moar regulations & laws & taxes.

The planet's tilt varies like a toy top. It's called precession. The north pole has pointed at other stars besides Polaris over the eons. Other factors that would affect ensolation include actual solar output (Sol is a mildly variable yellow dwarf), the earth's magneto sphere shifting and about to flip (effects the jet streams which are the primary forces of seasonal weather patterns), and the amount of CO 2 in the atmosphere irregardless of how it got there.

If you want to see how CO 2 traps heat, make some bread dough. If you use plastic wrap to seal the bowl with the dough ball it will rise two to three times faster than it will with a damp towel and you will need no external heat source. Long wave infra red like the output from a rising ball of dough is retained by the trapped gas and the rise cycle is accelerated.

I just feel the need to vent about the censorship on another train forum. The nickname NK is just about 1000% accurate. A thread about train import price increases was just locked (and "political" comments removed).

It seems the new moderators are even more trigger happy than the old one. Geez!!!!!!!!!!

On another forum, Model Train Forum MTF where many of the OGRR misfits migrated to they don't allow political comment either. Gunrunnerjohn was the Mod but gave it up when a bunch of the migrants got in a pissing contest about where Birthday wishes were posted.

MTJ is the only train forum I know of that allows political comment.

Nope. Trump threw Epstein off his property. Clinton flew on his “Lolita Express “. Quite a difference.
