Dude you have too much time on you're hands get a life.

Tax revenue goes in, profits go to the Seychelles for the benefit of people who then get the clowncar convoys to chant "no taxes, small government!" like they actually understand what they're enabling.

That's why they have this huge military and refuse to defend the constitution... they have zero intention on paying it back ... it's time for private armies for corporations

It's also what happens when you allow the Insurance industry to bribe our politicians so they can get paid from our tax dollars for doing almost nothing. It's a corrupt system all around.

Absolutely. This is exactly why private companies shouldn't be involved in this sort of thing. The government started this program so that it wouldn't have to pay out so much in disaster relief, but since it ultimately foots the bill now anyway, and then pays fees to the insurance industry on top of that, it has actually increased the costs to the taxpayer, while siphoning money off to insurance companies. It's the same reason your healthcare is so gaddamned expensive.

That kind of journalism is an endangered specie

That chart shows that sea level is up 8 cm in 20 years. Great argument.

calholli do you realize how much water is required to raise the WHOLE OCEAN 8cm? Please get a brain

calholli I mean, if your argument is that sea levels are steadily rising, then showing that sea levels are steadily rising IS a pretty great argument.

also, 8 cm is a GIGANTIC increase with serious consequences. this is like those people who don't think + 5 degrees is a big increase....when it REALLY REALLY is if you understand the science at all.

Apparently, it's twice the rate of increase than the previous 80 years. (www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global-warming/sea-level-rise/ ) That's the _mean_ level. It can have a great impact between high and low tides. Hence, why low lying areas are in danger of more flooding. I know it doesn't seem like much but it is a _huge_ amount of moisture being added into play with the atmosphere. And when it changes forms (as in when it condenses into rain), that translates into HUGE amounts of energy being in play. Thus, bigger and more powerful storms.

Apparently that saying should have been your knees instead of your feet

The short version is : America

We have a version of that in English too: “arrogant dumbass”

The majority of the US population is along water. This is pretty much true for any country on Earth. Your reasoning does not work.

That still doesn't change a thing about the fact you'll happily give to the rich, now for example in corporate tax cuts, but get your jimmies rustled when its about affordable healthcare for people who'd otherwise live shitty lives because of jacked up medical expenses.

Simple. Because flood prone states have a lot of swing voters.

Not to mention that it would be a hell of a lot cheaper to help poor people move away from flood zones than to rebuild their houses a dozen times. And it would be so much healthier for them too. And every major country with universal health care pays less than people in the US do for health care, and for better outcomes.

i highly doubt it. Merkel can't even fix your border.

Jonny Dark Honey, she'd needa change the law for that. But luckily, even with refugees, our crime rates are still far lower than in the US :) The only thing Merkel did wrong concerning immigration and refugees was not to install better programs and such. If they could work & be supervised while doing so (even if it's just making a garden or maybe renovating an old house which again would benefit them without the state having to pay a lot), then there would definitely be less crime. Also, they should have gotten a bit more opportunities to learn the language and about the values that they have to accept here.

Some people have gotten so comfortable with a lot of the securities, freedoms and conveniences the country provides, they are unwilling to give them up for anything, even if that means blindly rejecting the obvious (to us) truth. That, and circlejerking on the internet and television validating idiots and there are big companies also profiting from a lot of those idiots.

God Damn

Nice 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉

overlord2304 We also don't build houses in the seawater, at least not without first preventing the sea from reaching that house ever again. Our country is also a lot smaller and more densely populated, so making sure what little land we have stays dry is much more financially viable. Yet even in the Netherlands, the goverment has been lacking when it comes to strenghtening the dams and dunes sufficiently according to our own safety rules, because as long as there is no flood there's no financial incentive to try and prevent floods. Preventing floods is expensive (even though if the area is densely populated enough the potential costs of covering the damages are much greater) Of course, this doesn't apply to to parts of the US that are densely populated and yet are flood-risk areas, where enough money could be gathered to prevent floods in these areas.

Yeah but your coastline is tiny compared to ours. Even if you consider the per capita or per gdp qualifiers, it's way way easier for y'all to deal with your floods.

Dude gtfoh you live in a Nordic country. You guys have common sense and shit

...you also host zero hurricanes, which cause a major portion of US floods. Must be nice.

Last time I checked the Netherlands don’t have flash floods and hurricanes.

And nothing about how increasing size and scope government attracts those companies like flies to honey?

The funny part is that these companies are making money directly from government regulations.

Lol

Unregulated Market Economy do your evil laugh.

So the law crafted by politicians that spends tax money on these insurance companies....this law is a good example for you of a "free and unregulated economy?" Really sad that people have no idea what unregulated or free means in these terms and just think of them as naughty words. Politicians making stupid laws is not evidence that capitalism is bad, it's evidence that politicians, and by extension, bureaucracy as a whole, is bad. Without having a giant government body with a bunch of stolen money to spend that they can lobby, these insurance companies would be a lot more toothless, don't you think? Corporations gain their sickening power through corruption of politicians. It is a gross symbiotic system. The idea that we just need to have government take over everything is so wrong I fear for what will become of America, when the opinion is so widespread. Socialism and the collapse of the empire seems like the likely outcome.

Same. I'm literally doing a report on climate change and flooding, and I'm going to ask my teacher if I can use this as a source.

Yep, people who actually make a study of geography we see this constantly. You just have to suppress the facepalms and go see Geostorm drunk. Like falling down drunk. So drunk that your Uber driver will call for a Lyft to take you to the theater. Drunk geographers at disaster movies is a thing.

people still study geography?

HAHA that's amazing! I mean it's probably very well researched so why not?

Maggie E Of course, no other solution.

Should have bought a pontoon houseboat and moored it there. Best long term investment and it’s flood proof

We should have a regulation that once we the taxpayers have paid out more than the property is worth, we should buy the owner out, raze the house, and declare the property ineligible for habitation. Turn it into a park. Get people out of harm's way. We also need to change the building codes, to require higher elevation of homes in flood-prone areas. Just as we can build homes that don't collapse in earthquakes, we can build homes that don't get flooded. (And homes built in "Tornado Alley" should be required to have a "safe room" to protect the people who live there.) Just put some engineers in charge, instead of lawyers, and we can fix things.

Joe Favela Now that's dedication!

Lived there ten years and I'm not surprised in the least, pretty normal stuff down there. Thanks for the story made me miss home.

Tammie Heazlit - I really wish state and local governments employed more people like you full time to properly plan and upgrade our municipalities. Currently where I live in Florida, a new development has been approved right on the water unanimously by the city council with no requirements to mitigate the flooding that *_will_* eventually happen. ::sigh::

If you think the seas rising by 3 inches per 20 years is not a sufficient argument for the severity of climate change, you're a fucking idiot. You just are.

It is simply because of ignorance. They don't teach any of this in school, so we all have to learn it the hard way, learning from mistakes.

but jumping out of airplanes for fun is less riskier than living in a flood plain. Just saying. lol.

Well especially if taking that risk is financially incentivised and not at all penalized. Even though the risk is almost 100% more certain than skydiving and still avoidable and unnecessary. Which was what the piece was mainly about I think.

People are basically idiotic. They'll jump out of planes for fun and drive snakes to extinction whether they are venomous or not.

I'm glad that people are taking risks, but unless the payoff for taking that risk outweighs the potential repercussions, then it's just a stupid move. And sure the payoff and repercussions of any situation can be objective, is THIS raelly worth it?

I. Wynn Wynn it’s not necessarily even on the water. I live in east central Mississippi and the highway leaving my town has low lying areas on either side that flood almost every time we have a major storm front move through. Some people have houses there and you can just look and tell they can’t afford to rebuild anywhere else in town.

Private insurance policies won't keep paying like that. I filed two homeowners claims over 7 years and had my policy cancelled.

The problem is that most of them dont want to move. Primarily because they are not the one enduring the risks. Tax payers are essential subsidizing their risky lifestyle.

@@SL-pg4dh But why is no one stepping in with zoning laws? Can't you just declare such areas as unfit for habitation and offer residents the funds for a move? Btw. in Germany, insurances can usually refuse to insure you against flooding if you live in a high risk are, because then you are acting in willful carelessness.
