Federal employees, of which I'm one, have to pay fed income, no dice :( either way you'd be paying taxes to the local gov, since they have their own income taxes

There is a fast-food chain that is everywhere called "the taco maker" but I haven't been yet. I looks equivalent to taco bell. Food isn't spicy here anyways, just fried meats and fried starches for the most part



I was cruising around the city earlier and it was pretty chill. Blue skies and zero traffic or tourists in the old Spanish fort

I was going to just update the OP with info from the thread. Lemme see what I can wrangle up for you in the meantime.

Edit-- If you want to just gas this and make another one, I don't care. I love Hurricane megathreads(shout out to Jeff) and noticed no one had made a thread about it. I've never read the OP of a Hurricane megathread because cameras are constantly going down and the best info is learned is by pressing F5. You can also just edit my OP if you have that capability. I didn't ask for this job!

Lol you want me to make an op for a thread you opened with a politix twitter. Just lmao

See this is funny because our president, Dolan Turmp, misspoke and said the hurricane might hit Alabama. And then when everyone was like “No Mr. President pretty sure you’re wrong.” He got an old NOAA forecast map and used sharpie to draw the hurricane heading towards Alabama, which is a wild and zany thing for a president to do!

Misspoke lmao.

So there is 20 reported casualties but they are expecting more. But I think of the long term casualties as well. Like disease and exposure will be loving terrible. We need to send a hospital navy ship. ASAP.

I said this before, but get this thing moving down there. Wtf

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy-class_hospital_ship#Missions

Stationed out of Norfolk, Va., Comfort operates primarily in the Caribbean and Latin America. Her first mission was a combat one: serving coalition troops off the coast of Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. Her first humanitarian missions both happened in 1994, helping Haitian and Cuban immigrants looking to come to America. In the aftermath of 9/11, Comfort was activated and sent to Manhattan to provide medical and mental services. Comfort headed into combat again for Operation Iraqi Freedom. In 2005 she was back saving American citizens following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. In 2010 she undertook another disaster relief mission, in response to the Haiti earthquake.[4] In May 2015, Comfort was in Kingston, Jamaica providing medical services including optometry, dentistry, general medical, women’s health, pediatrics, and pharmacy. The Jamaica leg was part of ‘Continuing Promise’, a nearly six-month humanitarian mission across the Caribbean region.[5] Once again in 2017, Comfort was deployed to aid American citizens in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.[6]
