Fuck me, I actually laughed out loud. That's so dumb, but honestly I would not be surprised if started happening (to a certain demographic anyway)
See, putting it in that way makes it seem absurd. But if you consider the fact that some of these people that lost their homes may not be able to recover from that, and may end up on the street, it becomes much more likely
Oh 100%. I imagine that will happen to some people. I also feel like the "grace period" is gong to a lot shorter than necessary (though it shouldn't happen anyway)
The only reason it seems absurd is we haven't been taught to hate climate refugees as much as homeless people yet.
