    and sadly nobody gives a shit. To further demonstrate the level of idiocy I give you the quote of one of the chancellor candiates in germany after a century flood:

    You don’t change policy just because now we have a day like this

    And because of this we do not change enough, fast enough, because there are still idiots in charge who think we can relax and have still a lot of time or deny it completely…

      Having a century flood once a century is no cause for change. Having them every few years… well the idiots will just bitch about the infrastructure needing improvement (but don’t you dare raise their taxes for that).

        Here’s what blows my mind. A once in a century storm would imply that, more likely than not, the place is going to experience one during your lifetime. And that’s ignoring climate change

        How is that the standard to build things to? That’s insane!
