If the Swiss village of Blatten were in the U.S.

Last week the village of Blatten in southern Switzerland was buried under a landslide resulting from a glacier melting at a rapid rate from global warming.  Not only were the people evacuated prior to the landslide, but so were 52 cattle along with sheep and even domestic rabbits.  The Swiss government is now sending in pumps and debris removal equipment.

Here is what would have happened if Blatten were in the U.S.

People would have rejected the whole idea that a glacier was melting because of global warming.  Even the president knows there is no such thing.

You’d hear comments like “I’ve lived here for 75 years, and I’ve never seen a landslide” and “I don’t believe anything the government puts out.  I read on Facebook that this whole thing is just a test to see if we will obey.”

No warning would have been given.  DOGE would have fired the people who monitor glaciers.

After the landslide, FEMA would have refused to authorize aid.

Note:  After a full week, my computer is fixed, and I have a new way to post thanks to my computer guru Debbie.  I am so sorry for a week’s absence.  I’m sure you missed me.
