    One suggestion:

    Bring in the national guard fully armed and blast the shit out of any rogue militia people threatening the lives of FEMA workers.

    In Minecraft of course…

      Why in Minecraft? I encourage the find out portion of this kind of fucking around. The law exists so that no group may cause another to suffer, and vice versa.

    The core of this nonsense is the conservative frustration that the hurricanes may not hurt the incumbent party. The worst hit areas (Northern Florida, Eastern Georgia, and Western North Carolina) were in the bag for Trump anyway, dashing the hopes of those who were looking for the next Andrew or Katrina. And make no mistake, the damage and suffering visited upon conservative Americans is no concern to the people who think this way. (many of whom have nothing but contempt for rural people in private)

          I have “benevolent extra terrestrial intervention” top on my list of improbable things to wish for.

              Better, you can just get in your sarcophagus and have all your health problems fixed in a couple hours… except for the inevitable psychosis.

                In fairness, they do the language barrier thing in a few of the earlier episodes, but it’s a TV show. It would get very tedious if they did that every episode.

                  And they would have to have a new language for every planet and Daniel would just be constantly translating.

                  But they could have at least thrown the fans a bone. Oh well.

                Did you notice that they go plainly out into these new worlds with no care for germs, what’s so ever? Like, holy fuck. At least the Prometheus movies ‘kind of’ made a point about it in the second one with the mushroom cloud in the beginning.

                  You could lampshade it by saying that the stargates clear them of dangerous pathogens.

                  To be fair, you’d pretty much need that to have a multi-planetary stargate system.

      I don’t know, it seems pretty half-baked to me.
