Such a waste of taxpayer dollars
So are the tens of billions that Joey B has sent to the dictator Zelenskyy in Ukraine?
What isn't
Taxpayers being forced to pay for maintaining the beachfront properties of millionaires. I call BS on that.
When California goes Yellowstone goes so we mine the fault lines at the salt n sea for lithium and subsidize electric cars 😂
Vincenzo's Millionaires and billionaires won't let us walk up and down the beach, they think they own it. If it's been replenished should be open to the public
If you don’t protect them the land will wash away and then the poor will lose their homes…
Beach replenishment goes hand-in-hand with the National Flood Insurance program. Simply taxpayers subsidizing wealthy people's vacation homes.
Spend millions helping those who have no homes… not millions on those who are already rich, and bought homes in foolish places
Jealous? Get a house
yea so i live in ormond beach, i can assure you there are NO mansions on the beach, there are however endangered sea turtles who need the beach to lay eggs. Notveverything is about rich ppl.
@@Geminicricketi oh yeah my bad, it's that simple !
@@Geminicricketisimping for essentially subsidizing resort owners.. cute
Let nature do her thing. This is just good money going to waste.
People complain aBout the poor being fed ,,, look at this privileged b.s.
Yes some ppl work hard others don’t. Is so weird to me how u ppl down play ppl accomplishments when u can’t even achieve it. Don’t hate congratulate
Im sure the average American is furious with this policy, what a waste of money.
Being born on an island and understanding how things ebb and flow, sand moves, storms, seeing major beach erosion and sea level rise over the past 45 years..... I can say this is an absolute WASTE of effort, time, and money. In 2015 I relocated to a house that's 93ft straight up a cliff from the ocean so I can't be flooded. But I know my children will have to sell the house before everyone realizes that islands are a terrible place to live when the beaches are gone and the temperatures are intolerable.
Billions of dollars spent on home 4 millionaire and billionaires whose money working class middle class taxpayers keep paying and paying 0:42
no, millions spent so sea turtles can have a place to lay eggs.
No, spend the money on the mainland to develop prevention for the inevitable future of sea level rise
I live about 90 min from FL panhandle coast, wont tell where because I dont want it ruined, for now 67 years. Myself and others in this area have refused to buy beachfront property because we have seen what happens to it. Beach erosion, salt air, constant wind, hurricanes and storms cause any dwelling near a beach to have a very short lifespan. Even well built places with good yearly maintenance do not stand the test of time. Not to mention now the astronomical insurance if you can get it. When it comes to some storms, 90 min away is still too close. I certainly dont want my tax $$$$$$ to help any ignorant rich @$$hole get a beachfront place.
California: "we'll build these fkn houses on a cliff at the beach"
@@lowboyyy Interesting that people in CA think Southerners are ignorant and uneducated. Learning from the mistakes of others, is our way. We all think of CA as a large group of future Darwin award winners.
@lesliemoore1656 well the majority of society conflate education with intelligence,they're not bad people they just don't know any better,I've got family from orange county,great people just don't know much about how things actually work,especially when it comes to construction
You should try restoring the seagrass forests and mangroves to reduce erosion from the sea and more trees on land.
Mangroves...
Mangroves need a certain climate to thrive. It’s natural for native foliage to die and move inland as sea levels rise. Problem is there is no space for native plants to grow as billionaires and millionaires have manicured fertilized lawns and non-native plants filling their entire property. Generally speaking these rich people do not care. We are peasants working for them and their attitude is pick yourselves up by your bootstraps and serve them
Now all you have to do is find the link between the company providing the sand and the politicians that voted for replenishment of beaches. THAT is how politicians become rich.
The sand is dredged from out in the water lol. 😂
@@jesusthugmusic if you think thats crazy, I got a buddy that lives in Canada and he owns a company that sells snow to the resorts.....
No doubt some political figure has ties to the dredging company paid to do the work. Money ain't for nothing, and politicians ain't for free. @@jesusthugmusic
Why didn’t you ask the interviewee about what other possible solutions there are?
Come on high insurance for beach property owners!
😎Life's a Beach
Living on the beach and near the beach in Palm Beach County for over 50 years I can tell you the beach sand will go in and it will go out on its own you can put dredges out there and put in all the sand you want you can spend hundreds of hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars every year it is not going to make a bit of difference when I first moved to Florida in 1960 the road up on the beach right on the beach which basically shelled out and they built a new road A1A a couple hundred feet away from it that is what is there now you can't hold what's going to happen with the ocean and it's a waste of money but they're getting tax dollars from all the beachfront people but mostly everyone else gets stuck with a bill it's absolutely not worth it and that's from watching it and living on the beach for a lifetime
The most wasteful thing I've seen in quite some time. Riprap or crushed concrete would save the taxpayers millions. However, lack of a beach would lower property values for the wealthy.
Fight the ocean... a fools journey.
Nope. Nope nope nope. Unless this is somehow good for the environment, speading millions of dollars to put sand ON THE BEACH is by far one of the stupidest thing I have ever heard!
Might as well line the shore with money
🤔
When I was a kid for some reason there was a stunning increase in the small fish population. They ate everything, then died, washed up on the beaches and STANK. Cities for whom beaches was important (Like Ludington Michigan) spent a lot of money cleaning up the fish every day and dumping them somewhere.
Thousands of fish, DAILY.
Eventually the ecology balanced.
That's for a limited period of time. This sand and beach problem will not only continue happening, it is going to get worse.
They taught us in school how the earth changes. You can't stop the force of nature
Am I crazy or have beaches been around for millions of years?
Yes, constantly moving and shifting!
It’s crazy how people still don’t understand the 1% 🤯
NO, they have been doing it for decades and it get washed away faster and faster every year!
If the barrier is made of beneficial creatures such as oysters and other water filtering animals it may work
Make the people who want to live on the beach pay for the maintenance!
Rebuilding these beaches usually catering to the rich who live along the coast. It is a waste of resources
Building desalination plants for the upcoming potable water shortages would would be prudent
Why did Mr. Stock decide he didn’t agree with beachfills, and then interview someone to support his uninformed opinion? So utterly one sided and uninformed.
Who pays? The people who built on those beaches.
Didn't Jenius Trump say global warming meant more beaches 🤔
It’s only a waste if you hate beaches. I think beaches add to the community like a park. If you own a private beach then yeah you should be covering your own property.
Good vid. Why the stupid distracting background music?
Notice how those rich republicans all of a sudden ok giving our tax dollars to other rich and not batting an eye. But god forbid we help those struggling to pay student loans.
But of course sea levels have not risen at all 🐑🐑
Face the reality. Let nature take its course. (PERIOD)
Use the tax money for poverty issues instead.
Sea level rise is going to make all this go away, youll need hard barriers everywhere itll be unavoidable, which sucks but all those coast are made of sand deposited over millions of years and sand flows with the waves.
No more hand outs for the rich, they need to pay for it themselves
How much does it really cost to run a dredge? 😂
Flash flood warning. At the beach.
It's so funny that we think we can beat nature. We are just beating ourselves into the ground.
Oh my God I didn't know they did this. Frickin idiotic 🤦🏻♀️
A big waste of money!
All for the sake of vacation destinations woooow
Where all the Nazis GOP talking about overspending? Probably watching them shoot this video from their beachfront properties.
Why not?
The taxpayer is already subsidizing major corporations (Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc...) workers pay through assistance programs. Why don't we pay for the richs' landscaping while we are at it, too?
Happy oligarchs, happy life after all...am I right fellow poors?
Man this guy complaining about this? Does he not realize where so much more of our money goes? This we can actually see.
let them flood
We spend a lot more on a lot worse.
let beaches erode and the ocean will consume the cities and towns.
😔 Unfortunately, if we don't in Honolulu, we'll lose half of Waikiki and the "Gold Coast".
The earth is not a static thing. Stop pretending it is
Thats not smarts... hellO ??? IN 10 YEARS that will all be ocean.
We spend trillions on wars over sees. Illegals get everything free and haven’t contributed 1 cent. So spending millions helping beach communities and small businesses doesn’t seem that bad a deal. That’s if you want to actually help US citizens!
100 percent agree.
Why the heck should we all be on the hook for protecting rich folks beachfront property? I can't afford a house on the beach. Maybe we should spend the money on education and childcare instead. If you really wanna help Americans and not just give more money to the well off ....
@@homipside You are making the assumption that only “rich folks” live along the water. You are wrong.
No thanks. Rich people can pay for their own beach maintenance.
@@Me97202 Are you including the 1/2 million dollar fence around Joe Biden's multi-million dollar summer house in Rehoboth Beach, DE?
Claim insurance
No.
Spending millions of taxpayer dollars to move sand. 'merica‼️🇺🇸🦅
💜💚🇺🇲🌎🌏🌍👽🥊💪🧠
Thats kinda like saying dont pump water into areas that dont have water...let nature do its thing!
