THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Because we can.

lol our infrastructure will never be ready for climate change, we'd have to build trillions of dollars of actual real-world poo poo. and it would have to be sized off the charts from current code. and it would involve immense energy and carbon emissions because it'll all be concrete.

the future of functional cities is new orleans: an urban core with billions upon billions of dollars of specialized mitigation, and everyone outside the city walls is in gently caress-you land. the future of everywhere else is the yellow river delta:

quote:

A flood in 1344 returned the Yellow River south of Shandong. The Yuan dynasty was waning, and the emperor forced enormous teams to build new embankments for the river. The terrible conditions helped to fuel rebellions that led to the founding of the Ming dynasty.[7] The course changed again in 1391 when the river flooded from Kaifeng to Fengyang in Anhui. It was finally stabilized by the eunuch Li Xing during the public works projects following the 1494 flood.[20] The river flooded many times in the 16th century, including in 1526, 1534, 1558, and 1587. Each flood affected the river's lower course.[20]

The 1642 flood was man-made, caused by the attempt of the Ming governor of Kaifeng to use the river to destroy the peasant rebels under Li Zicheng who had been besieging the city for the past six months.[21] He directed his men to break the dikes in an attempt to flood the rebels, but destroyed his own city instead: the flood and the ensuing famine and plague are estimated to have killed 300,000 of the city's previous population of 378,000.[22] The once-prosperous city was nearly abandoned until its rebuilding under the Kangxi Emperor in the Qing dynasty.

Between 1851 and 1855,[9][18][20] the Yellow River returned to the north amid the floods that provoked the Nien and Taiping Rebellions. The 1887 flood has been estimated to have killed between 900,000 and 2 million people,[23] and is the second-worst natural disaster in history (excluding famines and epidemics). The Yellow River more or less adopted its present course during the 1897 flood.[18][24]

The 1931 flood killed an estimated 1,000,000 to 4,000,000,[23] and is the worst natural disaster recorded (excluding famines and epidemics).

everyone moves to the good, fertile real estate because they have to and gets loving wiped out at random and sometimes on purpose

at least the NE getting hosed actually gets all of the worst absolute ghouls on twitter to acknowledge how hosed we are. They couldn't give less of a gently caress about the poor people and black people getting flooded out along the gulf coast with how little attention Ida got until now

Heads up that most of those ghouls don't live in basement apartments in queens or the bronx, so they're most likely mad only at getting their shoes wet trying to go out for dinner

these people are the morons that havent actually been around the country and have seen how poo poo everything has become. drive through rural communities and its poorer than ever.

nothings getting maintained. climate change is going to be a reckoning for countries that didnt invest in infrastructure - and the us is 30+ years behind other first world countries.

NYC has combined sewer. Wastewater and stormwater are collected and treated in the same system. There's likely poop and pee everywhere now

I know the great book "The World Without Us" had a chapter on NYC on how long it wouldn't last without human machines and maintenance.

NYC was built over hundreds of small streams and without the massive pumping infrastructure being maintained all the skyscrapers/buildings would rapidly be
destroyed due to subsidence.
