So if a monsoon hits someplace in the world the poor take a beating and rich people don’t even get their feet wet?

Monstrous government entities creating problems or simply making them up in order to demand more money to do more of the same.

The poorest countries biggest threat is the UN and the NWO threatening their access to cheap energy under the guise of the Climate Change scam.

55 years ago, when I was a teen, my parents' church was sending food to Africa. Back then the reason was "crop failure".

Two years ago our church was sending food to Africa, but now the reason was "global warming".

The real reason was "consequence of socialism" in both cases, but now they want a much larger percentage of my income to try to fix it.

Oh, the rich get their feet wet, but they can decamp to a hotel out of the storm's way, or already live in a place proof against severe weather, rather than a leaky shack.

My point is that noting the poorest are harder hit by natural disasters than the rich is a truism that does actually have any real application to the public policy question at hand, namely the left's attempt to use climate modeling as yet another excuse for the expansion of state power.

Massive redistribution of wealth, deindustrializing developed nations, and general Marxism can change the weather.

The world's poorest are being hit hardest by all corrupt governments out there. The "climate Change" meme is their tool to extend their reach to start hitting the not-so-poor just as hard as they keep slamming the truly poor...

The way to fight such nonsense is to actively support candidates (and forums) that espouse Conservative ideals.

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

Mother Nature wipes out anything that gets in her way, from pricey hotels and the infrastructure that supports them to the lowest living in a mud hut. It’s nonsense to think anyone can escape the weather and it’s consequences.
