Can we please leave the bullsh** like you just posted off this thread? This is a potentially very serious situation for millions of people. Major impacts will probably occur from West Palm Beach to Wilmington, NC.
Once again, I am reminded why I loathe these threads being posted in breaking news.
Amen.
Nah, I believe that was sarcasm noting the usual MSM disaster hype.
I could just as easily say that the RATs are probably drooling over the possibility that a red county might be taken out of the electoral process, helping Florida go blue.
And that might even be true.
Amen.
Major impacts will be limited to FL and GA. Government, aided by sensationalist media, typically sows panic before hurricanes, with the implicit message that self-help is impossible and only government can save you. Every hurricane’s seen by government as an opportunity for a power grab. The idea that Pensacola and Tallahassee should be under a state of emergency is ridiculous. Maybe they should just mandate evacuation for the entire state?
You should have seen the vast media/government complex set up in downtown New Orleans the week after the storm, producing “The Katrina Show” while busing residents out of town at gunpoint with the message that it was too dangerous even to be standing on the street.
