I'm not saying to abandon the whole southeast, but something in the range of 15 million US homes are built in flood plains. A large portion of these are in Texas and Florida. It is absolute madness to keep building and rebuilding in these areas.

Even if we drop global CO² emissions to zero tomorrow, it will take more than a century to even begin to see trends reverse. In the mean time lowland areas will continue to flood over and over.

And those type of floods will only increase in frequency. This is the new normal. People will need to move if they don't want to be rebuilding every couple years.

One would think losing a debate to a "mentally impaired" person would be an embarrassment.

The problem is a town was built where there should not be one. Flood plains WILL flood. Rebuilding is pointless. It will just be destroyed again. At some point we have to cut our losses.

Nature doesn't ask for consent. It is an uncontrollable force. Flood plains will eventually flood just as certainly as a volcano will eventually erupt or the sun will rise. If you build a house in a flood plains it WILL be flooded. Maybe not this year, maybe not this decade, but it will happen eventually with absolute certainty.

Don't forget to account for girth similarity.

Anything conducts electricity if there is enough of it.

Artists will create art regardless of whether they are paid for it.

In any case, sale of physical media and merchandising will earn plenty to fund production.

Maybe they will have an upgraded version with a large rubber nose and a moustache.

I say this as a creator; it is not stealing to take something that can be replicated infinitely without cost.

The juvenile system was split off from the department of corrections in 2006 as a step to reform the system. The state has made extensive rules that the local operators have failed to follow. Four facilities were closed because they operated in an unacceptable manner. Plenty of other states have similar problems with juvenile detainees. We are actually trying to fix the problem.
