World needs to think of the common good

The folks ravaged by a recent one-two punch of hurricanes/tornadoes/flooding should be using building materials that are actually resistant to frequent disasters. Agencies such as FEMA to homeowner insurance companies can’t absorb beachfront or mobile homes that constantly fall apart (as captured by drone videos) with our entire country stuck with the tab.

Fact is, all insurance premiums and building supplies in the USA have quadrupled over a short period of time to a large extent by subsidizing faulty rebuilds on the fiery Pacific and Atlantic wet coasts.

Smarter solutions by think tanks looking out for the greater good of all mankind need to come to the rescue sooner than later to counter the wrath Mother Nature has bestowed upon us, and bomb makers need not compete with her, simply put.

World leaders need to come down from their thrones to get along with countries next door and should know extreme suffering could come undone with an implosion of nuclear radiation when innocents in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere are continually wiped out on a daily basis.

Time is of the essence to make peace agreements, ya think?
