Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Oh no! Not ~~rich people's yacht money~~ the economy!
Stop this childish shit. tHe eConMY! What are you, fucking 12? We ALL participate in the economy ya fuckin' moron. Or are you just repeating cutesy shit for upvotes? Yeah, you are.
Climate change just shut down NW Florida. Shut. Down. No one working, no one making money, shut down.
Oof! Didn't expect an old semi-joke to cause so much angst. It's really just a comment on how often articles talking about how X, Y or Z will impact "The Economy" is mostly about how much money already absurdly wealthy people will gain or lose. Hence replace "The Economy" with "Rich People's Yacht Money" in the headlines to get an arguably more accurate headline. Also I don't think anyone give a shit about upvotes on Lemmy, could be wrong though. As for Florida, I'm not in the US so not super familiar with the climate in various parts of each state but snowfall in Florida seems pretty crazy since I thought Florida is pretty tropical/subtropical. If I have offended you please accept my apology as it was definitely not my intention to offend anyone and especially anyone who is experiencing a natural disaster. I've been through a few cyclones and a bushfire. It's not even slightly fun.
What are you going to do about it?
that's what 'muricans voted for or didn't vote to prevent, since before I was born
