And some people try to push their agenda and make it about climate change. Absolutely ridiculous! "Did climate change undermine Champlain Towers South?" https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/06/28/did-clima...

I can't tell if you're trying to be sarcastic or not, but if not, you should've definitely picked a better link. That link says "climate change wasn't the only reason", not "climate change has nothing to do with this".

I was sarcastic. I guess it's hard to tell.

Even now I'm not sure I understand what part you are claiming was sarcasm.

Only way to use sarcasm online is, making it literal with the help of a closing tag like /sarcasm o </sarcasm> Is like winking your eye after your sarcastic phrase

Sarcasm is a lazy rhetorical tool that doesn’t translate well to the internet. IMO it’s best avoided online.
