They’ve broken the system and want to say “look at this broken system, we can’t trust it!”
This has been their process for… ever. They cut funding to government agencies (eg. FEMA), then when said agency has a hard time doing their job. they point a scream that the agency can’t do it’s job and should therefore have it’s funding cut. Rinse, lather, repeat. And right wing voters fall for the sham every 👏 single 👏 time 👏.

Ummm, pardon? How does that work?
SCIENTISTS CAN’T EXPLAIN BrundleFly2077’s hyperbolic discourse
That seems like a perfectly reasonable place to build that’s not obviously at threat from hurricanes. But sometimes shit happens that couldn’t be easily foreseen, and THAT’S what insurance is for.
My point, however, is that insurance is NOT to make other policy holders foot the expense of someone repeatedly repairing/rebuilding after completely foreseeable/inevitable events.
To anyone that insists on having a house right on the beach on the Gulf Coast, I say, “Insure thy self.”
If people don’t have the common sense to not build houses in places that are guaranteed to be destroyed by a natural disaster sooner than later, then I shouldn’t have to subsidize their rebuilding costs through my insurance premiums.
Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.
Ya don’t say.

This was exactly my thought as I read and reread this paragraph several times trying to figure out if I was getting it wrong.
“She was in there, she was still strapped into her car and the water was actually rising and getting up into the car itself, so she was about, almost neck deep submerged in her own car.”
I don’t think so. There should be a period after “again.” That’s the end of that sentence.

He doesn’t have a clue what honest people do. He’s like Vance buying doughnuts for the first time in his life. “Follow the law, I guess, or whatever makes sense.”
Employers shouldn’t have anything to do with their employee’s healthcare.
I don’t understand.
“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said.
So someone can just make your iphone inaccessible for a decade and you can’t override it or log in, even if you have the passcode?
On the Apple Support community, one user reported their iPhone had been locked for 50 years. Similarly, a post on 9to5Mac’s forum mentioned an iPhone disabled for “23614974 minutes”—about 45 years.
I’m sorry, what? I guess I’ll just add this to my list of reasons I’m glad I use Android. JFC.
True. I was more responding to the article that makes no reference to Ada Lovelace. She’s deserves to be mentioned when that topic comes up.
I close my eyes, take slow deep breaths, and with each breath slowly count up and down from 0 with the high number increasing by one on each cycle. Eg. 0 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0… It requires just enough concentration to keep my brain from drifting off to other thoughts (usually), but is boring enough that I rarely get to 9 without falling asleep. If find my mind does wander, I just try again.
