The storm was making its way to the Bahamas and Bermuda on Thursday morning as Jamaica confronted the devastation from one of the most potent storms ever recorded anywhere.

    Considering Trump cut USAID and the EU is following in his footsteps when it pertains to aid now, this should be interesting to see and by interesting I mean tragic.

      My hot take is that they don’t want them to rebuild. They want these countries to be in dire need for a country to swoop in and buy them. That is some high value locations there.

        … Is it?

        Ten years ago, definitely. Now? We can already see the impact of climate change and it is only getting worse. This is why American and Russian oligarchs want Canada.

        It’s more likely the world already got what it wanted out of the Caribbean and just doesn’t care about the inhabitants.

            No, they very much fucking do. They’ll be the first to talk about how the weather is getting wild and it is so great they live in florida where every day is beautiful except during hurricane season where they refuse to move.

            They believe in the existence of climate change. They just refuse to do anything that will ever inconvenience themselves even the slightest iota. And they’ll bend over backwards to insist “it is just sun cycles” to absolve themselves of any responsibility.

                Then don’t fucking parrot their nonsense.

                “jokes” are fun until it is indistinguishable from the same bullshit the people raping humanity are saying. At every step of the way, call them out on their shit.
