With no water pumping, it should happen real soon.


And no sewage pumping. And no fuel to run garbage trucks, the garbage that has been piling up for weeks. And no refrigeration for food. And no fuel for police, nor fishing vehicles, agriculture, or power for hospitals.

AC is the LEAST of their worries.

To be fair we have blockaded their oil shipments. Their grid is old fashioned and runs on fuel oil.


See! The US does care about the climate!

Bout time for us to set up San Destin II. Time for a fleet of “diplomatic relations” ships and “help”. Decisions to follow as to where the 18 hole and par 3 course are to be set up.

I mean, thoughts and prayers for them down there.

Don’t send any humanitarian ships if you want the people to rise up. Course we will and the people will still be stuck in 1954.
