          Quote fro article:

          "We will rebuild things that should not be rebuilt and ... in ways that are less safe and secure than they should be," Eli Lehrer, president of the free-market think tank R Street Institute in Washington, told Business Insider.

          Right. Because only the federal government knows how to build things to be flood proof. :rolleyes:

            Here in the UK, we've got the BBC and various other "news" outlets who are intent on disparaging anything they don't agree with (Trump, Brexit, etc).. it's almost like there's no other news in the world these days (European migrant crisis, global terrorism, runaway house prices, education and health systems creaking, etc, etc..).. It's all "Trump this" and "Brexit that".. :doh: X|

            Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

              Its the same here. We have a massive natural disaster going on (as I type) in Texas and the media, while covering the flooding, still finds time to worry about what president Trump is doing minute to minute and what shoes the first lady wore while walking from the White House to an Air Force chopper. It has gone beyond pathetic.

                No they don't, and that's kind of the point of the executive order[^] that was reversed. It changed the regulation over WHERE they were allowed to build. There's no point in reversing that order unless 1. You make a point in reversing everything Obama did. B. You're a luddite. III. Well, it's Trump, what do you expect?

                    Don't misunderstand - I agree with the substance of the executive order. I've said the same thing after any number of hurricanes. Don't rebuild the same old crap. Prepare for the next hurricane. I just think that is common sense and shouldn't require an executive order. As for Trump cancelling this executive order... I suspect it was mostly #1 with a touch of AGW denial.

                      When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others. Same thing when you are stupid.

                        Agreed, but you need to keep in mind that common sense isn't common.

                                Why do you even care what foreigners say? Let people express their opinion. If you don't like it, just print it, roll it tight and insert it where the sun never shines.

                                      Like any other country's political environment isn't at least an equally huge f*ckin clown show... F*ck all of you.

                                      They all are. Australia's is a joke and I and all Australia know it. It's you Yank's that like to take your politics so seriously and carry on like it's fantastic. Plus at the moment your clown is so much bigger no one can see our clown any more.

                                        Really? Because here on CP the VAST majority of Trump posts come from non-Americans. You folks are obsessed with him. It's actually kind of sad. :~ I try to give a shit* about your politicians, I really do. But Christ is it boring. I don't know the specifics of their policies and I seriously doubt it will have any effect on me. So what's the point? You should try it. It's very liberating. *By "give a shit" I mean "care at all" or even be bothered to know who they are. ;)

                                          No country is at that level of a clown show. And that clown is about to put us into a nuclear holocaust. And you are annoyed by foreigners being concerned of US politics? A country notorious for interfering with foreign governments?
