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.

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.

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.

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.
