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.

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.

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.

“Well isn’t that the horse calling the kettle black”

I love this.

All five of the facilities that were closed and 4 of 5 still operating are in mostly or totally red parts of the state. It's not Democrats working at those facilities and abusing the kids. It is Democrats working to reform or entirely eliminate the system.

I went to College about 65 miles west of Chicago (or about 1 hour driving). One weekend some friends decided to take a road trip to Maine so one friend could confess their love to someone. They left Friday after classes ended and drove nonstop, took one hour in Maine for the friend to get shot down, and then dove back. They didn't get back until late Sunday night. That's about 1300 miles and with a few bathroom/food stops 24 hours each way.
