I mean if living there requires expensive rebuilding every year against encroaching floodwater that will only get worse getting poor people out of the way early is probably the best outcome you can get in this satanic country. It will be very bad, but that goes without saying in Amerikkka.
I am not saying this to victim blame. The ones who deserve the blame here are property developers and city/county governments for continuing current practices.
At least half, if not the vast majority, of damage caused by hurricanes every year is completely avoidable. When I lived in Okinawa we got typhoons every year, sometimes really big ones, and the worst thing that would happen might be your car getting flipped over - but every building was solid concrete, the tall buildings downtown were tightly packed and protected each other, there was a lot of sea wall to break up storm surges, etc. I remember going bowling with the family pretty much every time a hurricane hit (unlike the troops who lived on base and were all ordered to stay in the barracks and forbidden from drinking lmao).
Before I got to live in Japan I lived in a trailer park on the east coast for a number of years, where I saw the exact opposite of this in practice. Every hurricane that hit would destroy a bunch of wooden houses and mobile homes (including my own once), but the rebuild would use the exact same cheap as hell materials and techniques, almost like the whole coast’s construction industry was colluding to protect the yearly demand for repairs.
“Um, actually Satanists are good” is a take you see all the time, which is wild because, 1) there are two kinds and one is literally a heretical Christian sect that worships what they believe is the devil and 2) the other ones are just libertarian trolls. They deserve critical support when fuckin with fundamentalist Christians who want their pastors in our public schools and at basically zero other times.

If this was a satanic country we wouldn’t have these problems.
The great Satan is satanic. What are you trying to say here?
We must be meeting different Satanists cuz most I’ve met were essentially libertarians.
