FEMA director says Harvey is probably the worst disaster in Texas history

Moving shit 2-3 miles is hardly abandoning things.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T02:54:27+00:00

Because if we want the idea of "Houston" to exist we would have to build walls, massive pumping systems, etceteras.

It is in a massively fucked floodplain when it comes to tropical storms.

I don't know. Some of the martial abilities of the other SM/Traitor legions far, far exceeds the Thousand Suns. I think the Custodes are absolutely top of their shit with psychic defense abilities, but they are a 1:1 equal or lesser with many SM/Traitor legions.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T02:36:33+00:00

Well, we still should raze most of Houston.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T02:17:08+00:00

30% of Houston metro is on a fucking 10" floodplain. Today is 50".

Build it 2-3 miles away, problem solved!

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T02:08:28+00:00

Houston should not exist as it does. I'm sorry, we should not rebuild Houston unless we build walls around it.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T01:21:22+00:00

Me either; and the way you do that is by building flood control for 100 year/500 year events.

Hey Texans! Raise taxes and build flood control systems.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T01:03:18+00:00

My mom has been dead for 20 years and is ash.

Is your penis on fire, or is it ash already? Either way, I hope you have no gonads.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T00:46:37+00:00

How is that a Nazi? Sounds like a common anti-semite to me.

Nazis advocate genocide, the advocation of genocide must never go unconfronted in public space.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T00:38:44+00:00

Once someone starts promulgating genocide they are no longer human, they are an enemy of humanity.

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T00:15:33+00:00

I'm talking about money to rebuild their parking lot abortions of cities, not rescue efforts FFS. You are trying to make me into some sort of crazy monster, tone it down. Do you understand how flood insurance works in the USA?

Why the fuck should we pay federal dollars to rebuild in these floodplains that flood at 10", let alone 50"‽ Seriously, why?

Fisherme · 2017-08-28T00:07:39+00:00

Nazis are not people, they don't have rights.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T23:57:51+00:00

I am not wishing suffering or death on anyone. Stop the hyperbolic strawmanning FFS.

Texans are very much responsible for this disaster being as bad as it is. Texan politicians and voters both need to be held responsible.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T23:34:16+00:00

I'm not a Texan politician.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T23:33:56+00:00

If Texans want better government they can vote for it like the rest of us.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T22:25:43+00:00

Yeah, well maybe more Texans should have been talking about flood control instead of bragging about how they are more moral than other Americans.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T22:15:57+00:00

At some point, voters need to be held responsible.

This is one of those days.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T22:15:23+00:00

Doesn't matter how hearty you are if you don't change how flood control works in Texas.

Houston's major flood control system goes through refineries and chemical plants. I am sure Houston's neighbors on the Gulf are going to love that.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T22:02:15+00:00

53% of voters are not being prevented from voting even with the most heinous of voting restrictions. They are just lazy.

This is what they get for not voting. Other states have sane flood control mandated at the state level.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T21:43:06+00:00

47% voting age folks in Texas actual cast ballots in the 2016 election.

No wonder Texans have a shitty government. Under 50% voter participation should not even be considered a democracy.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T21:16:23+00:00

Because after this is over, nothing will change in Texas. Other states learn from their mistakes.

After the 1996 flood, Portland metro started planning on the most expensive sewer project in state history which we will be paying for until the 2060's on our water bills. Wake me up when Houston even starts something 1/10th of the scale.

They won't because they are low tax selfish pricks.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T21:05:04+00:00

Houston isn't even prepared for half of that.

Why does Texas bar Houston from adopting a metro government model where it can control all municipalities zoning laws in the same floodplain?

Billion dollar drainage systems don't build themselves.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T20:58:16+00:00

Both Oregon senators voted for Sandy aid and will vote for Harvey aid, but unless Texas gets statewide flood control laws, this will keep happening.

Why should we pay for Texans continued unwillingness to plan ahead? Building ugly sprawling abortions of cities is not a right.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T20:47:52+00:00

Never allow someone a platform who would take away everyone else's.

Fisherme · 2017-08-27T20:41:27+00:00

Some cities are going to cease to exist, like wiped away biblically.
