Omg you obnoxious loser. I haven't shot anything personal towards anyone-- but you seem to feel free to take ludicrous pop shots at me based on absolutely nothing.

Calling black people complainers, scary, hateful and violent isn't personal?

Don't be a dweeb-- this is a once in a multi generational storm that we have not seen and hopefully will not see again. This is affecting millions of people and really the whole US. This is not a ****ing joking matter idiot

This is horrific. Any loss of life and property is horrific.

Has anyone characterized this as demonstratively worse than Katrina?

You probably should've voted for a Presidential candidate that believed in climate change and was willing to do something about it. Because these weather patterns will become the new standard.

Human factors increasing flood risk: urbanisation, because towns and cities have more impermeable surfaces. deforestation, because removing trees reduces the amount of water intercepted and increases run-off.

Raising livestock the way we do and burning fossil fuels are the primary factors for climate change...but I'm not sure what is your underlying point.

The storm is a much bigger issue for pure people of all kind who will be hardest hit as usual.
It's a shame that we as a country cannot invest in safety infrastructure for most vulnerable areas.
This were the government investment should go not in bailing out failing corporation and providing millions of useless government jobs.
US leadership suck big time all Dems, Reps, Obamas and Trumps including. Bunch of useless losers.

Everything you just mentioned that is exacerbating the situation (e.g. political parties sucking, tax dollars being misappropriated, lack of infrastructure) is rooted in politics. Yet, in the same breathe, you are criticizing people who think politics is central to this disaster. Quite a bit of irony with you.

My point was again that placing blame on any of specific politicians is ironic by itself.
They do not differ from each other in being interested only in their own political capital not the needs of those whom they should represent.
The system of governing is corrupt in general and became some kind of corporation to get profits and guarantied income for doing nothing.
And as all sides are one big mafia there is no accountability.

I don't think you understand the meaning of "irony". That aside, any one individual or any group that champions stupidity with regards to environmental regulations deserves blame for this. Polticially, only Republicans fit the bill.

Besides, let's not kid ourselves into thinking that a guy like BRIGGS doesn't vote a straight-ticket that uniformly denies climate change and cuts research to understand its scope.

Wtf are you talking about? I was a democrat until the last year. Do you really think that in 6 months that D Teump created this storm? Is that what u d saying? And the 63 mm people who voted for him are indirectly responsible for an act of God? Jees man get a grip. This thread is about an incredibly horrific storm people are dealing with today?????

This "act of God" is actually caused by us pumping carbon into the atmosphere. One side of the political sphere acknowledges this fact and is willing to fund endeavors into addressing it through innovation as well as research i.e. Democrats and more specifically progressives. The other side is cool with the status quo because they are funded by oil companies that are the primary culprits i.e. Republicans. You feel sorry for those people in Houston? Lovely, take that into your calculus next time at the polls.

And you supposedly being a Democrat at any point is shocking; almost as shocking as finding out that Knickoftime is actually Steve Mills. In the 4 years I've been a member of this board though, I seem to only recall you regurgitating conservative talking points on economics and social issues. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Just curious though, what made you vote blue?

Yup, trump and his supporters are going to leave a brutal future for our kids and grand kids- I still find it shocking that they'd take the environmental risk with their own kids and grand kids lives.

Crazy thing is that I think he gets re-elected with the nonsense the Democrats are doing. I voted Bernie as a write-in and I'm prepared to take a knee again, if a Kamala Harris/Corey Booker/Andrew Coumo type gets the nomination. For all our sakes, I hope Tulsi Gabbard steps up, runs and wins.
