Last Week Tonight: Floods

[ItRhymesWithDoom]

On this week's episode, aside from Australia having a really expensive referendum on gay marriage in the bit before the main segment, John Olliver discusses the topic of flooding in the USA. More importantly: why people don't move away from those risk areas.

Jesus fuck, listening to the explanation of the National Flood Insurance Program. Having insurance companies profit from disasters? Awful shit. Next thing you know, you're gonna hear about insurance company sponsored ad campaigns against climate change debate.

Ignore me.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Ah, Broad Channel... Whenever I pass by it on the train, I wonder just how people could live there. It's a nice but very strange area of New York City, with houses with backyards that are literally just water (and maybe a boat).

Great episode, though.
