“The creation of climate-focused District Resilience Improvement entities, modeled after Business Improvement Districts, which would capture revenue from those who would most benefit from resiliency actions.”

Argh!! Their use of Orwellian language is traumatizing. It really feels like “1984”.

looks like the report authors REALLY like the new buzzword, “resilience” for justifying unlimited taxation to fix a “problem” that doesn’t exist, and if it did exist, would be unfixable short of all of us moving back into caves and huddling in the dark cold, eating grubs and worms, fighting off wild animals with sticks, and with an average lifespan of 22 years (women, children, and people of color hurt the worst).

“opinion resilience” Good one! I like that. It’s sorely needed, isn’t it?

This is where conservatives and patriots in media are asleep at the wheel — in co-opting proggie newspeak and turning it against them, hard and fast and without mercy.

Rules for Radicals. We are the new radicals.

Higher atmospheric Co2 is undoubtedly aiding your daffodils.
