Considering we're not even prepared for hurricane season, either, and our president is trying to dismantle FEMA, I think it's safer to just say the US is just a little more fucked in general.

Preppers finally getting their time. Not exactly how they thought it'd play out, but I'm sure they'll be stoked delivering "I told you so" for a couple weeks sheltering their neighbours.

Doubt all their guns and underground bunkers will save them from fire or hurricanes!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

I guess an underground bunker might.

[–] mister_flibble@sh.itjust.works 10 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Clearly we just use the hurricanes to put out the fires.

[–] regedit@feddit.online 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

We have the best person in charge. No one has the sharpie skills tRump does!

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

That's ridiculous. You can't move hurricanes with a sharpie.

You use nukes.

[–] dinren@discuss.online 6 points 15 hours ago

You need to run for office.

And “we’re fucked” is putting it lightly. On that note, check out American Resiliency on YouTube if you want some helpful information on how to get ready!

Hopefully it's all sponsored by U-Haul.

Welcome to news "reporting" under a trump administration.

1.) State the amazingly fucking obvious
2.) Cite some stupid study, poll, or 'insiders'
3.) ???
4.) Profit!

3 might be something along the lines of "act surprised as if destroying the country isn't their plan"

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

thinking in this case they're probably accurate

I had a broken clock once.

I lost it when everything burned to the ground during a preventable wildfire that was mismanaged and allowed to grow unchecked until it consumed everything...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Well, sure. It’s step one.

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Nah, it's fine. And when I say fine I mean -Repubs probably

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Shoulda swept those forests like Rump said

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

I hear the term "Burn it All Down" a lot, but is this how it should be done?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 0 points 12 hours ago

I'm so happy for you :).
