They should start giving these hurricanes ebonic names. Maybe they’ll leave “people of color” alone.

Question:
How many black men have the name “Ian”?
Just another Cracker storm.

"financial losses could hit $40 billion (in Florida.)"
Dems will get right on that pass a bill for $40 billion and send it right away to the Ukraine. 10% for the big guy

... early numbers suggest that financial losses could hit $40 billion.How much have the Biden admin policies cost the state of Florida?
And to the point of the article, how much have Joetato's policies cost minorities?
My bet is that the hurricane is a piker in comparison.

She did not even touch on the resulting homophobia and skyrocketing denials of gender affirming medical treatment to trans people of color.

Must have been a mighty white hurricane to do such awful things.

Ahh yes, so….
White people caused climate change…
Climate change causes big hurricanes…
And big hurricanes disproportionately harm POCs, especially blacks.
Ergo, white people (especially conservatives) harm black people, forever and always.
The narrative never changes.
