Okay I may have exaggerated a touch but New Orleans' population was halved, almost 2000 people died, 80% of the city flooded, and I can find damage figures anywhere from $70billion to $160bil. It could be worse but I'm not sure that a city hit that hard and not prompting a response beyond Congress going "how can we blame the army corps of engineering" bodes well for future changes in course. Capitalism found a way to turn that to its advantage instead of having to pay higher taxes to deal with climate change; the fact New Orleans got gentrified is exactly why I don't think his arguments about what capitalism will do are entirely credible.

It'll happen when a city full of white people gets that treatment.

Getting more replies than likes generally suggests you’ve said something dumb enough to provoke a lot of people to shout at you, the higher the ratio or replies to likes the worse the tweet.

The southwestern US deserts look absolutely beautiful and I would like to visit them, though possibly in the winter.

They are beautiful but they're *really* loving samey. The western Rockies will give you all the desert you need, plus also occasional corners, trees, and Mormons to point at.

I went in April and had a day that went from this:



first thing in the morning, to this:



at breakfast time, to this:



at lunch, and then this:

It'll turn out to be like when she got round the BBC rules on no editorialising by commissioning an article about how clever Boris is, which quoted her twitter feed as the only source.

Jokes aside my partner and I are vaguely talking about doing a road trip, flying into Los Angeles or San Francisco then going up to Vegas via the Salton Sea (GTAV tourism honestly), then going up into the pacific northwest (absolutely love the misty pine trees and mountains landscape) and flying back from either Seattle or Vancouver. She originally wanted to fly into New York and drive across the country first and while I'd like to see the city lol if I'm sitting in a car for days on end driving through the plains. In any case it sounds like a great little extended holiday if we can get the time off and come up with enough money.

A lot of yr flights connect near NYC anyway so you could potentially stop over if you wanted. I got the bus across the US once and while you get to see a lot of cool stuff it's all going by out the window, at least if you were driving you could make stops and explore a bit

Driving up the west coast will take you a few days anyway though

Literally only nazis say this.

"Literally only nazis say our system treats refugees that have successfully entered the system pretty well" what the bollocks is wrong with your brain? Are you saying that our treatment of successful asylum claimants is so barbaric that nazis are pretending it's pretty good in order to what? Similarly wealthy liberal democracies treat asylum seekers so much better but nazis are pretending that isn't the case so more apply to the UK so they can suffer more?

The legit criticism of how the UK treats asylum seekers is that it's too binary, there aren't easily defined 'good ones' and 'bad ones' and we need to help more in the grey area. But to declare that saying successful asylum seekers in the UK are treated comparatively very well must be nazi propaganda, that's actively counter-factual, get hosed. Flail around trying to back it up or gently caress off.
