Meh, if florida doesn't want the help of people outside the area, we will focus on NC.

I also hope Florida rejects any federal aid and other federal subsidies too.

He should get help from both plus more. What an idiot. Take a look at Milton and get back to us. He is a fool to not get every resource is place possible.


No. Desantis knows better. He needs to refuse all help and planning. It’s just a hurricane.

Hurricanes are down in frequency and intensity on average since the 1950s.

Due to global cooling.


Excellent. You are in a very good position to make a killing in the Florida waterfront condo real estate market. Best of luck!


That was a very interesting reply.


You are welcome for the biz tip. What do all these climatologist chumps know? Go clean up on all the fools trying to escape the storms and the insurance melt down. They know nothing.

We could ban coal and cars tomorrow and it wouldn’t make a dent. We’d all be living in poverty though. The real problem is China, India, and the developing world.

Ok. So then should us non Floridians care? If YOU don’t care, I don’t see why I should care. I felt absolutely horrible for folks in NC. A storm of that magnitude was just not expected.

But if you’re saying most people in FL are chill, prepared and don’t get too upset with the associated flooding and damage, then I am turning my attention to bigger problems.


Please do. Nobody is asking you to care.

Hey smooth brain. Do some reading. Maybe they put Harris on it because DeSantis wouldn't speak to Biden, either.
"When Biden visited Florida last week, DeSantis decided not to meet with him. The source told NBC they didn’t think the two had talked on the phone despite Biden’s efforts to call DeSantis last week."

Yeah. Me too. If desantis feels he has this covered and Floridians are “no biggie” then I can move on.

I’m a really mild-mannered and gentle person. I take the insects that get into my house outside so I don’t have to kill them. And I’m hoping terrible things happen to DeSantis that will wipe that smirk off his face. I’m so glad I don’t live in Florida. It would be awful to feel my fate was in any way dependent on him.

No it is just time to increase taxes to the blue states to pay for the red states climate change problems.


Suspect you were being tongue in cheek - but anyway just in case not …

2017 (GOP lies about taxes being funneled from red to blue states paved the way for Trump tax cuts for the wealthy)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican leaders have spent months promoting the myth that red low-tax states are subsidizing blue high-tax states because of the deduction for state and local taxes. An Associated Press Fact Check finds it’s actually the other way around. High-tax, traditionally Democratic states (blue), subsidize low-tax, traditionally Republican states (red) — in a big way.

https://apnews.com/article/north-america-business-local-taxes-ap-top-news-politics-2f83c72de1bd440d92cdbc0d3b6bc08c


Do blue-state taxes really subsidize red-state benefits?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/07/07/states-federal-benefits/

The states sending the largest share of tax dollars are mostly blue (apart from Wyoming #7) and Florida (#12)

The states receiving the most money back in federal aid from tax solars are mostly red.

The states who receive the greatest share of federal aid money are evenly split (Virginia and Maryland are up there). However the blue states provide much more tax dollars overall so their return on investment is lower than red states that send fewer tax dollars.

Nothing predicts a state’s receipts from the federal government better than its share of working-age adults with disabilities. Lower rates of education, higher rates of poverty, fewer patent filings and more employment in the industry that includes dollar stores also tend to be related to receiving more money from the feds. Red states have lower educational levels, income levels and have more people who depend on federal programs to get by.




Plus, a lot of the transfers to VA and MD are because of federal jobs outside DC. And well paying jobs are a benefit, to be sure. But not one that directly affects most of the population, like SSI and disaster relief. And as much as Trump tried, not one you can just move anywhere, because they do require subject matter expects in obscure regulatory areas.
