Reply #12: $35 million is *far* too little... [View All]

But is $15 billion too much for Florida? I don't know. I can't recall how much property damage was done to Florida, but I do recall it being quoted as somewhere in the tens of billions, if not higher.

It's the economy, stupid. It's like how ten bucks American can get you a fucking gourmet meal in some countries, and how people can actually survive making literally pennies a day. $100,000 will get you a sturdy, if spare, house in America--and even that varies from place to place, depending on demand and overall property values. In Thailand, I wouldn't be surprised if you wouldn't be able to build one of the more resplendent manses in the country with a hundred large.

Oh, and don't forget--in Thailand and all them yellow nations, there's a disproportionate number of darkies, and no one cares about them.
