    It's pretty painful to need to debunk assholes during a crisis, we should be concentrating on helping each other. Stay safe Florida.

    One reason that people don't evacuate is because they can't afford to. Can't afford to miss a shift at the plant, can't afford a tank of gas, can't afford a place to stay, or to replace the goods they couldn't carry when they do get to safety.

      Yep, the poor suffer the consequences while the well off can just avoid the entire issue.

    I just saw a video on underwater cave diving, an instructor had gone into some caves and cemented rebar into the opening of caves where four divers had drowned, and warned his class. The next week they had to rescue two divers from the class who had been specifically warned, next to the pulled out rebar they had a stencil that read 'you can't keep us out'. One of the men had drowned while the other had to inform search and rescue, and faced his instructor who had to fish out his friend. At a certain point, stupid is as stupid does.

      I've seen enough UA-cam videos to know to stay out of caves, even the pros can succumb to caves, I wouldn't even go into a dry cave never mind a water cave

      It's easy to tell a believable lie in a 140 characters, it's nearly impossible to debunk that lie with the same amount of characters. Bad actors *know* people are prone to snap judgements, not being bothered to educate themselves or recognize the nuance to the issue, and will take advantage accordingly.

      No thanks, if people are idiots thats their problem. Take a look at whats going on in Australia. UA-cam is already censoring, but not misinformation.

      I mean, the companies will have records of posts. Just start sending lawsuits to misinformation spreaders. Personally I think that the provincial governments should have sent bills to misinfo spreaders. You got clout you wanted by spreading bullshit, now you get to help pay for the extra costs incurred.

    Just a quick aside about cloud seeding. In Canada (from the very limited research I have conducted) cloud seeding is done at a semi-large scale in Alberta by insurance companies in order to induce rain/snowfall in order to prevent big hail storms hitting urban centers so they don't have to make payouts to people whose property gets fucked up by hail.

    • @MeatyZeeg
      @MeatyZeeg 2 місяці тому +3

      Yep, and it requires ramming a plane into that storm. Also it's less cloud seeding and more changing the chemicals inside a pre-existing cloud.

      And Democrats do not use cloud seeding to send Hurricanes to punish Trump voters as MTG is telling people.
