My buddy made the comment the other day that “florida will be moving north” and people will still just tank this and yeah probably. Tanking it includes dying of course.

Meaning like Florida’s climate and coast will just move and the south will kinda scrunch

I’ve been trying to convince friends and family in Florida to move north and they’re just not acknowledging the danger. Just like with masking and covid, they can’t grasp that “normal” comes with a price they’re gonna pay. Future dangers aren’t worth worrying about when “normal” life already requires so much denial.

Piss on Jacksonville on your way out.

I’ve never been and don’t plan to, but it seems like the kind of place that deserves it.

My partner has one more year left on her PhD and then we’re getting the fuck out of here. It can’t come fast enough.

Edit: has not had

No doubt. Mindblowing to me that homeowner’s insurance companies are jumping ship and people still aren’t getting the urgency.

I managed to convince my mom to retire in Chicago near my sister. She was going to stay in south Florida. The more I think about it, she definitely left at the perfect time

It’s almost shocking the amount of people moving to Florida in recent years, but then I remember the kind of people who want to move to Florida are the same kind of people with their heads stuck in the sand…

It’s not even just Florida, almost all of the fastest growing cities in the US are places that are going to be hit hard by climate change (Florida, Texas, Arizona). To be fair to people though, I don’t think it can just be attributed to people sticking their heads in the sand (although I won’t say it’s not a component), as I think a fair amount of this has to do with cost of living issues as well.

No doubt. I don’t know them, though. Sadly, I’m surrounded by MAGA and Blue MAGA.

I have family down there and I doubt I’d be able to convince the to move back up north. I still talk to people that want to move down there because “everything is cheaper”, which sure it is, but pay is also shit. I just hope they come to their senses before it’s too late

Wildly inaccurate map. Anchorage isn’t in that dot on the Alaska map. How can we trust anything on this when it can’t even get basic geography right?

I guess the Washington Post needs to hire the weather grifter in my other post to “conduct weather advisory” - https://hexbear.net/post/274895

Fairbanks and Anchorage flipped locations, as a goof

It WOULD be you to notice that. I straight up do not look at Alaska on most maps. It seems more like a neck tie to me - useless but pretty to cover the empty space.

Very funny that they got that wrong, though.
