There is not spit difference between Trump, Pelosi, and the rest. Make America great again my ass.
How much longer can we afford to bail out cities that build 50 feet above sea level and then put thousands of miles of pavement on top of floodplains? How much money are we going to throw at people who deny climate science and rebuild over and over in hurricane zones? Leaders have either mostly ignored long-term considerations of climate change, as has Texas Governor Greg Abbott, or who, like Florida Governor Rick Scott, have actively suppressed discussion of the concept. That chemical plant which exploded near Houston was the result of Texas politicians taking half a million dollars to fight safety rules of the EPA. Texas won’t use their own disaster relief fund and doesn’t deserve a dime of our money.
