Repair cost for a broken extension cord: $3 to $8 depending on the amp rating/quality of the new plug. #DIY
It's literally a 2 minute operation to fix something like this, I just put two different ends on this to create two new extension cords.
Family member 1: "Throw that away! Just go buy a new one"
Family member 2: "Hmm, you should throw that in the trash and buy a new one"
Me: "WHAT?!?! It's so easy to fix these!"
(obviously, I am the handy/DIY person in this part of the family)
Safety note: 1. always check an extension cord before plugging it in (versus plugging it in and going "why doesn't this work"🤪) 2. Don't fix these if you are a complete non-handy person.

neighbors (want) "answers about what’s being done to prevent another flood, after their homes went underwater for the second time in five years."
"There’s a $10 million plan that was drafted after Hurricane Irma in 2017 to address flooding...", however, the "county says this plan would still be limited and it wouldn’t prevent the kinds of flood Orlo Vista saw during Ian."
...the ground shudders. Rocks roll down the hill. Something moves deep within the hillside. Leaves flutter, pebbles fly. The earth moves.
The earth groaned and rumbled... large, fist sized rocks rolled across the trail. The tree did not move... at first. It sounded like there was a large animal in the tree, then there was a movement and sound deep within the hill. We sprinted up the hill out of the way.
