South Carolina. Charlie Pierce calls it the Home Office of American Sedition. You name the terrible things racist white men have done to this country, and every one started in South Carolina. They’ve been a pain in the ass for more than 300 years. This bleeding-heart liberal has not an iota of empathy for the flooded-out white people in that place.
And Mayor? Prayer is worse than useless, as it takes time, attention and effort away from actually solving the fucking problem.
Which is NOT flooding, but rather the climate change catastrophe that is upon us now, thanks to freakazoid repugs like yourself preventing us from stopping it.
SC rated the most racist state in the USA, and Charleston the most racist city in the USA. My sister lives there, a Tea Party member and loves Trump. Didn’t the lying fascist Nikki Haley who is the daily UN liar used to be governor?
“Georgetown Mayor Brendon Barber said. “We just need to pray.””
It worked so well last time.
What is that definition of insanity again?
Here in the Houston area,houses that had never flooded before had several feet of water in them. Over a year later,the rebuilding continues.
My cousin has a house on the Neuse River near New Bern, NC that was a cinder block single story built at ground level probably in the 50s that had water reach probably 6’ and wash all kinds of furniture and stuff out of it. Totaled and they will rebuild next one on stilts.
Just keep building in those flood areas as close to rivers as possible, there could never be another Florence. Hey, we have plenty of money so if we run short, trump will start the presses and make some more. There is plenty of sand for sale in the disputed areas of Iraq and the Mid East so we could import it to replace the sand lost or moved around from Florence and the rest of these storms after all, Florence was just a Category 1 as they say.
I will give South Carolina a tiny bit of credit for not banning data on climate change and rising sea levels from their land use or disaster planning - unlike North Carolina or Florida.
