On a moderately lighter note the headline “Celtics’ Bird hailed for choking and beating girlfriend” could’ve specified it was Jabari Bird.

Building codes, updated infrastructure, a disaster plan, evacuations, etc.
One of the reasons Puerto Rico is not a state is because they want freedoms from our government. Getting relief money for US states is tied to adhering to codes because the codes are in place to limit damage. I could not build a home and get a certificate of occupancy without doing this. If I was to do it any way, they could throw me off my own property and csrtsinly would not pay for storm damages.
Puerto Rico should be blaming themselves and the storm, not others. That attitude is why they are decades behind the mainland.

They counted deaths two and three months later and without regard for cause. So, if thugs shot you while looting your home or business, that is Trump's fault. If a nursing facility, which should have a generator, didn't, that is Trump's fault...showa58taro wrote:Dunno.

Not that 3,000 died on day one but it then did t get counted. These were deaths preventable by actual aid and restoration.
Also worth noting Harvard put out a study that puts the toll around 4,500

Re: September 13th 2018
Correct. Those are all Trump’s fault. Since he didn’t help Americans after a disaster.

A tree fell across my driveway after a hurricane. Was I supposed to let Obama clean it up? If I chose to instead starve to death in my home, would that have been Obama's fault?showa58taro wrote:Correct. Those are all Trump’s fault. Since he didn’t help Americans after a disaster.
Also, Puerto Ricans may not be Americans.

If a hurricane hit and Obama failed to deal with the aftermath as best he could then it is his fault. But he’s not president.Foo wrote:A tree fell across my driveway after a hurricane.

Re: September 13th 2018
I never expected a president to take care of me like that. I think counting on others to take care of you has cost more lives than every plague.showa58taro wrote:If a hurricane hit and Obama failed to deal with the aftermath as best he could then it is his fault.

Re: September 13th 2018
I'm very interested to know the percentage of people who go to the ER for issues that should be of no concern compared to people like me who may be dying in the lobby waiting hours to get called in.

Re: September 13th 2018
Unbelievably, no clot in jugular. They said there's muscle spasms and inflammation, but no clot. They admitted me though, because they saw the clot in my lung. But I told them I already had one there, so they're comparing scans. Might hold me anyway, though. Which would be ultra gay. Just wanna go home.
Re: September 13th 2018
Fuck's sake, Jason. I got my fingers crossed for you.
