They red states will suffer the world the unleashed on us all. The cut the offense to plan and forecast these storms while also cutting the defensive arms to provide life-saving help to those in need. This will only get worse and more frequent until an equilibrium of bodies to dollars is reached.
It's sorta like how anti-vaxxers put themselves in line to stop procreating. Dumbass rural voters who hate Trans people and Brown people voted to experience the worst hardships when natural disasters occur. I will not play a tiny violin. I will laugh my ass off as I'm safe in my dense urban city.
Your dense urban city is not safe from natural disasters. See Katrina and New Orleans or NYC and superstorm Sandy. We all get fucked by this.
Sadly, you are absolutely correct. We all collectively pay for their racism and insecurities.
My dense urban city is not in the pathway of frequent natural disasters. I mean, it is because of a faultline, but earthquakes are somewhat rare. Big ones are super rare.
People living in tornado valley, howerver… get tornadoes every summer. And people living along the southeast coast get hurricanes pretty regularly.
I will continue to laugh at the ignorant racists who voted to cut their funding for emergency relief.
Wildfires and drought count.
