The people in charge of the US and EU are very much aware, that's why they've been working so hard to criminalize migration and make it so refugees can be thrown out without full hearings. Their solution to this is trying to make it so all the poor brown people die quietly out of sight of their voters.
Dark joke of the day
What do you call 25,000 dead brown people at the border?
Camouflage for the 5,000 under them.
Not to mention the “flood” of US citizens from states destroyed from climate change. The sanctuary states better start building housing.
Well, we had the opportunity to avoid the “No Matter What” stage. Now we are just beginning to enter the, "Oh, shit" stage.
Had our "fuck around" era, now in the "find out" era
ah fuck arouind and find out- thank you, truly insightful addition to the discourse
Related story from the Guardian about the Ahr River flood in Germany in 2021. An interesting read touching on the psychology and issues regarding rebuilding.
There is a well-known term in hydrological circles: flood dementia. “Every couple of decades, people tend to forget about historical events,”
If you are rebuilding a school, say, and you want to move the science laboratory from the ground floor to the third, so that equipment can be protected in the case of another flood, insurers and government funds won’t cover the cost of fitting. Everything needs to be as it was.
