They also thought Hilary was going to win in a landslide. It’s laughable how dumb the DNC is and how they think they know so much better than the American population. The primaries happened l. It’s over. He’s who we’re stuck with

How is this anti environmental? It’s 100% true that a lot of environmentalist celebrities/politicians are massive hypocrites.

World leaders and celebrities took private jets to a UN Climate summit.

Guam is not hurricane proof.

Typhoon Mawar

Despite being the strongest storm to strike the island in over 20 years, overall structural damage was relatively limited. However, the typhoon’s powerful winds did defoliate and uproot trees, topple billboards, and tear tin roofing from buildings. Floodwaters in Yona were reported to be waist-deep. Guam Memorial Hospital suffered some damage as typhoon shutters gave out, walls collapsed, and windows broke. Torrential rains pouring through damaged areas of the building caused staircases to flood with water. The hospital’s kitchen caught fire during the storm, leaving it useless.[88] Four piers operated by Mobil were damaged at the Port of Guam. Along Piti Channel, three barges, two mobile crane barges, and a derelict vessel were grounded. Two tugboats sank during the storm, forcing crew members to abandon ship. A dry dock at Cabras Island sank. The Sumay Cove Marina at Naval Base Guam suffered damage. Navy Rescue 21 Search and Rescue towers were rendered inoperable

President Joe Biden declared Guam a major disaster area on May 27, enabling the distribution of federal funds. A total of 150 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) personnel were on the island by this point. Guam Delegate James Moylan penned a request to FEMA for the distribution of supplies from a warehouse containing over 1 million units of water and 900,000 meals.

Damages from Mawar to businesses were estimated to be US$111.8 million, The Guam Memorial Hospital’s reported damages were at least US$12 million, and The Port Authority of Guam has estimated US$8.2 million in damages, excluding the assessments of fuel piers. A prison in Guam sustained US$2 million.

There is no place on the planet that is hurricane proof. They’re the most power thing on planet earth. Texas is infrastructurally in the dark ages but California would be left in the dark too if a catogory 1 or 2 made direct landfall. And I say this as someone who’s lived in the mid Atlantic
