My buddy made the comment the other day that "florida will be moving north" and people will still just tank this and yeah probably. Tanking it includes dying of course.
Meaning like Florida's climate and coast will just move and the south will kinda scrunch
I've been trying to convince friends and family in Florida to move north and they're just not acknowledging the danger. Just like with masking and covid, they can't grasp that "normal" comes with a price they're gonna pay. Future dangers aren't worth worrying about when "normal" life already requires so much denial.
I managed to convince my mom to retire in Chicago near my sister. She was going to stay in south Florida. The more I think about it, she definitely left at the perfect time
It's almost shocking the amount of people moving to Florida in recent years, but then I remember the kind of people who want to move to Florida are the same kind of people with their heads stuck in the sand...
It's not even just Florida, almost all of the fastest growing cities in the US are places that are going to be hit hard by climate change (Florida, Texas, Arizona). To be fair to people though, I don't think it can just be attributed to people sticking their heads in the sand (although I won't say it's not a component), as I think a fair amount of this has to do with cost of living issues as well.
I have family down there and I doubt I'd be able to convince the to move back up north. I still talk to people that want to move down there because "everything is cheaper", which sure it is, but pay is also shit. I just hope they come to their senses before it's too late

I am evacuating the only person I know there at the end of july 😎
Piss on Jacksonville on your way out.
I've never been and don't plan to, but it seems like the kind of place that deserves it.
Orlando deserves it far more

My partner has one more year left on her PhD and then we’re getting the fuck out of here. It can’t come fast enough.
Edit: has not had

No doubt. I don't know them, though. Sadly, I'm surrounded by MAGA and Blue MAGA.

lol, yeah. I am them, but I'm trying to get my friends and family out before I leave.
