I'm not going to defend FEMA.

What was done to Puerto Rico was shameful.

I've seen the dirty underbelly of Fema, Red Cross and several others. This was back when we had a bad flood and my workplace was a DAC center.

Most home owners get turned down for FEMA. The crackheads and the like get a check. They are not real popular here.

DAC center?

Why would homeowners get turned away?

Fema is only for uninsured losses at your main residence. And kind of insurance and you don't qualify. I know of one who was not living in his trailer at the time, but said he was, and got a few grand. Another ask, but i don;t think they approved her. The trailer was wrecked, but it wasn't lived in. Nothing in the closets or most of the rooms. But she tried.

The insurance frauds were running think and fast when I lived in South Florida in 2005. They had hurricane damage claims 100 miles from where it stuck!

I'm sure there was a lot of that here. Our adjuster was from Ky. So they are trying to flood the zone so to speak. I've been happy with mine, but have heard horror stories.

After a bitter cold week and weekend, my friend Patti in Chicago, and I suspect a lot of other folks in the Midwest might want to talk to you about the so-called "warm", and this record cold week ahead..? :roll:

I don't know if we have any real russian trolls on RIU, but I have come across some watching prepper videos. on YT. They spread hate in the comments. Not that hard to find hate in the prepper community anyway.

So that's where all the trolls & haters are!? (I thought they were all on here, learn something new everyday I guess)

Hey Larry I'm just within the last couple weeks realizing how bad you got hit in that hurricane! Very sorry to hear that, glad that everybody was okay brother, hang in there!

Commerce over Constitution.
Perhaps we should quadruple our (us) population to keep commerce's attention on us.

Attracted by lax regulations, industrial agriculture has descended on a remote valley, depleting its aquifer — leaving many residents with no water at all.

Thanks buddy. I try not to talk about it too much. I know it's a buzzkill. I may start a thread so I can bitch and moan to my heat's content and keep the other threads upbeat. lol

The disruptions in the polar vortex {what is causing the cold} are caused by warm air over the pole. As much as 50F above normal. It breaks up and sends it down here.

A year or so back I heard a story on NPR about Saudi horse owners buying up land, with the water rights that go with it, and growing Alfalfa hay to ship back home.

Well NASA seems to have a differing opinion as to what's causing the cold, conversely they also have an opinion what's causing the so-called "warm" ..they seem to have it covered on both ends (very convenient!)

Seems even the all-knowing and omniscient NASA can't decide?!

https://www.ibtimes.co.in/space-witness-ice-age-due-dropping-sunspot-activity-warns-nasa-785815

So which is it NASA? Global Warming or the new Ice Age? Inquiring minds want to know! (Maybe it's both :roll:

I watched a YouTube clip about the Maunder Minimum and this is an interesting phenomenon. The clip I watched was published in 2013 and they were certain we were heading into another one- but that hasn't happened.

If we do, it will surely be mitigated by the excess CO² in the atmosphere. It would be great if they cancelled out.

My concern is that the Maunder Minimum came to an end... as would the next one, presumably- so then what?

Beachwalker · Jan 29, 2019

Let's hear what PBS says about the climate issue?

tl'dr =

I wrote a song about it. Want to hear it?

Sixty five million years ago was a bad day for the dinosaurs.
It was a cold day.

Up in my area lots of giant round bail straw going overseas.
