"It didn't stop a single hurricane"

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Why pay for FEMA when you can alter the hurricane’s path with a sharpie from the dollar store? Meteorologists are clearly fools

[–] ramble81@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 month ago

Oh? Can you ask your acting head of FEMA exactly when Hurricane season is?

Why after Hurricane season? Does he think this is the last hurricane season ever? If you’re gonna cut it you clearly don’t care so why wait?

He's planning to deport the Mexicans who create the hurricanes by waving their sombreros.

All further hurricanes will simply be nuked.

The fact this could actually happen is horrific

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 1 month ago

Think of the positive side. You could get a superhero, a Florida Man infused with the power of radioactive wind!

Wait ... that's still horrific.

That will be a shame for all those Republican red states in the south. I guess they'll need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when the next big storm hits. Luckily we don't get natural disasters in my blue state.

Do it now you coward!

So I guess they weren't planning to implement REX 84, then? /s

He’ll change his mind in a heartbeat if a category 5 hurricane passes over Mar-a-Lago.

He'll just activate the military to help fix that one property.

[–] MinorLaceration@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Why do that when he can just reroute it with a sharpie?
