Florida should not get any hurricane relief until. it takes serious action to reduce fossil fuel consumption. When the people on the bulls eye start yelling shoot, shoot shoot, you have to take the responsibility to not aid and abet their destruction and death. Continuing to provide hurricane and other forms of climate catastrophe relief will be putting good money after bad and will just enable them to kick the climate can down the road until all of Florida is underwater. Stopping hurricane relief is like taking the guns away from a suicidal person. But I do not expect them to come to their senses, their tribe wants to drown.
