Another book recommendation here for Disposable City: Miami's Future on the Shores of Climate Catastrophe

gave me a little crack ping when it covers that miami has already seen nearly a foot of sea rise since they started keeping records.

The End of Ice has a great chapter about this. Certain people in local government know what's going on and that their entire city is going to need to be raised or abandoned very soon but can't do anything about it (or won't)

in the eyes of the real estate cabal that runs a typical major city with rampant property speculation it is better to force everyone to stay put and sue fema for full value payoffs to luxury condo owners than to start an early retreat that will save lives at the expense of real estate prices cratering with no one to sue or lobby for recoup

Nah it will, you just have to hit rock bottom where these threatened homes are going to normal people for something approaching affordable prices. You need to get the correct people holding the bags before you're allowed to let the bags lose all their value.

You're going to start hearing about great investing/purchasing opportunities in real estate is areas that seem amazing sooner or later, and that's when you know it's coming down.

The price will keep going up on those properties on speculation over the inevitable government buyouts and associated lawsuits alone.

Chaos is the only true god, and our efforts to conquer it are the ultimate sacrilege. Our success is our downfall.

There will be no mercy, or forgiveness, such things are a stranger to the natural state.

Happily, inebriation fornication and communal auditory sensation are available to most.

lol fake eggs

Shoppers experience egg-spensive Easter as food prices continue to rise posted:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The National Retail Federation predicts consumers will spend $24 billion on Easter celebrations this year, and rising food costs are a huge part of that expense.
✂️
Ronald Randolph said his family was hosting Easter dinner this year. He said he spent $15 more this year for a ham.

To balance out all the spending, the family of seven opted for plastic eggs for their egg hunt. Buying candy is also popular.

“The real ones were too expensive to buy. You could buy 120 eggs already stuffed for $30,” he said.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
we were not the sort of family to do egg hunts but my friend down the road did. they always used plastic eggs; i've never seen an egg hunt that used real ones to be honest.

i have a strong memory of being like 12 and changing out of my trunks behind the house when i found an egg under some giant sea artifact (sponge? idk) on their back porch. it had a $20 and a piece of bubble gum inside, and was apparently the "main" egg to be found like three years earlier lol

When we were kids we would always go over and do egg hunts at my grandparents house with our cousins. They had these gigantic and very thick hedges around their house that always got plastic eggs hidden in them. After they passed away someone else moved in and decided to rip those old bushes out by the roots using a truck. When they pulled the first one dozens of decades old plastic Easter eggs went flying everywhere.

Guess we didn't always find them all.

I work in the NYC parks department. There were a lot of Easter celebration picnickers this year. Alot of them decided to do egg hunts and in an act of kindness used bright streamers to mark where the eggs were using plastic streamers with plastic eggs filled with plastic confetti. I saw a bunch of birds trying to gobble them up this afternoon as the wind blew it around.

when I was a kid there was some company locally that would throw a plastic egg or two in every ones yards with coupons and prizes and like 1 piece of candy through the whole fuckin neighborhood and i remember my parents sort of teasing me for wanting to keep the plastic egg to use them in the future because you know, you should just throw it away obviously
