Beaqcuse many will vote for those who promise freebies in their future, - simple as that.... so simplistic an answer that even a dem can see that.

Dems just want to forget the question as how biden, was able to 'garner' [very apropos word] about 20 millions votes more than the extremely popular president obama, and then four years later those 20 million just seemed to have evaporated into thin air.....interesting, is it not?????

By fortify - meaning doing whatever they can to CONTINUE 'the cheat'

But they had least had more of their earned income for necessities at the same time:

Americans' Tax Refunds Increased by $43 Billion This Year

As for hurricanes, been through two, back to back in Louisiana a few years ago* [both caused loss the power - one for 9+ days and the about the same as lived out in the country nearer to the gulf coast] plus two in the FL Keys**. Been there, done that, never was a t-shirt.

* Hurricanes Laura and Delta

** Hurricane Georges in September 1998 (passing just south of Key West), and Hurricane Irene in October 1999 (which passed over Key West and the Lower/Middle Keys)

I've been offshore in th Atlantic in a tropical storm on my 34' sloop, back in the 90s, rough sailing [only reefed main used], scary, but neither my sloop nor myself were harmed/damaged.
FYI, clocked sustained winds at about 50 knots with gusts higher.

Tropical Storm: Maximum sustained winds between 39 and 73 mph (63 to 118 km/h).

Yes, can be dangerous, but mostly survivable, especially on land. Now when stationed at Clark AB in the Philippines we had the real thing, a Typhoon, and remember driving around base after it passes, seeing a palm tree sticking out of a 3rd story dorm window - now 'thatsa' storm!

AOC? Excellent choice ; )

Apologies as was in a rush to get out the door, so did not proofread:

Should have been DSA which, knowing you I'd expect you would be a charger member ; )

Also, here is what the SDS was:
AI Overview
SDS stands for Students for a Democratic Society. It was a major American student activist organization during the 1960s and a primary representation of the political "New Left.

AI Overview The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) began as a nonviolent, reform-minded campus group in 1960. However, as the Vietnam War escalated, the national organization grew increasingly militant. By 1969, internal fracturing led a radical faction called the Weathermen to split off and commit acts of domestic terrorism.

Domestic terrorism by lefties - see nothing new about that....

Speaking of the economy, how come none of you libbies here are not heralding the SDS?

You know, those same people who want to tear down the US Constitution and replace with Socialism, which it seems many here already are for much of their agenda???

Oh well, then I guess it is back to Tasers,,,,, Oops, do they not also use electricity to incapacitate? ; )

Well, it will get approved after Trump is gone and then the dems will authorized our tax dollars to finish it... : (

Actually the tower was not to authorize the aircraft to take off at that time.

Same reason that I need to restock when my ammo runs low after a weekend of target shooting.

When it comes to government, here is a point to ponder:

Thinking you would be richer if there weren't billionaires is like thinking you would run faster if there weren't top athletes...
