You left out there part where everyone has been enslaved by Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg to collect and deliver water to each of their strategic reserves. All “payment” for labor is made via rations of raw water.
2027 gonna be like...

“The remnants of our armies have finally caught Mr. Bezos and Elon, and they are here tonight to fight for their lives!..get ready to throw your shivs into the arena, elders and children! Our people died for this wonderful day to happen!”
…That is the GOOD ending to 2028. 🤨

Hey, we’re leveraging the power of both the blockchain and AI to forecast winners and place permissionless wagers. You can’t censor us! It’s like you don’t understand math.

I keep thinking that the next Katrina or Andrew or Helene scale hurricane is going to just make whatever part of the US it hits uninhabitable. Its going to be bad enough that nobody rebuilds in that area, and we have our first refugees.
Something slightly off-topic that happened at work last week, an air conditoning unit stopped working. It was easily fixed but it broke down exactly like what was mentioned in Neal Stephenson’s book “Termination Shock”. Ants crawled into the contactor and kept it from closing all the way. We could really end up with Relay Refugees.

There is currently a tropical storm out in the Atlantic Ocean that has been named Dolly how ironic would it be if it makes landfall in Florida and totally wipes it out.

It’d be kinda funny if Dolly made the US go tits up.

It doesn’t even have to be THAT bad. People living in floodplanes are largely uninsurable in more and more of the US, and because it’s the US, there is no state-level fallback like more sensible places have. There is no real emergency aid anymore, since the conservatives have basically destroyed FEMA. There are no protective works anymore, because conservatives are stripping flood mitigation and resilient communities are now Woke and thus bad.
The US has never been less ready to deal with another big disaster, and the likelyhood of one is only increasing.
HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 month ago
How does it work in the US if an entire region is destroyed, surely you still own the land and have permission to live on it? So worst case just stick a caravan there and live in that, or any other form of temporary/semi temporary structure.
Unless all of society just abandons the entire area? Or are US house prices more sensible than they are here in the UK. Here the majority of the cost is land that you have permission to live on. The actual structure isn’t worth that much in comparison.

As someone who had to leave at 4 am when the water kept getting deeper in 2019, I agree.

Literally what happened back during the original Katrina. A bunch of people from Louisiana picked up and moved to Houston permanently. Houston’s 2 million population grew by about 10 percent virtually overnight, straining all key city services such as schools, hospitals, emergency services and, particularly, public safety. This made a number of Houston Republicans extremely upset (Barbara Bush chief among them)
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Same thing but what Im talking about will be a larger scale. There are people still living in Loiusiana and New Orleans, although there are probably smaller towns that are empty.
Souvenir@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I’ve always suspected the US is uniquely susceptible to the worse effects of climate change and a changing world.
Population too spread out to make public transport or cycling viable in the event of fuel shortages or distribution problems. Electricity also has to travel longer distances. Too reliant on AC, rather than passive insulation. A problem when fuel shortages and heat are combined.
And you’re taking too long to go full in on renewables. For example, even ignoring the environmental benefits, solar panels are great at reducing power consumption when its hot/sunny. Hell, on a sunny day it’s possible for a house to be giving back to the power grid, even with the AC on full.
Europe’s also fucked, but at least the houses are well insulated, and solar adoption and AC use is skyrocketing. So when cities as far north as Paris hit 50C(122F) by 2050, as is possible assuming an unfortunately plausible 3.5C global warming, the number of deaths won’t be catastrophic.
Of course, once agriculture’s hit, shit’s going to hit the fan globally. We’ll get a taste of this in the coming year. Farmers have been suffering badly from climate change, high fuel prices, and high fertiliser prices also due to Hormuz.
CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 month ago
A lot of the US seems to think nothing will change, ever. This is why you see them deploying 50 year old aircraft against a country tha has drones. This is why they keep trying to make bettee gasoline engines instead of making better batteries. Its everywhere.
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Oh, and don’t forget. It didn’t snow anywhere this year, and the coastal cities are beginning to flood. Not that it’s something you have to worry about since you live inland, but it would sure be nice if it wasn’t 127°F outside or if it’d just rain a little for the first time since maybe February.
