For the levy system for New Orleans. What's a few basillyian dollars?

Here's the catch 22.
The Army Corp of Engineers have to certify the levy to a 100 year flood
plane.

If sea levels rise the perdicted 21 ft in 100 years due to global
warming, that means the levy gotta be how friking tall before the
insurnace people will ever pay another claim?

Anyone's boat insurance cost take a major leap lately along hurricane
alley? The yards are full of totaled insurance boats.

Oh well, just more prime anchorage, sailing grounds and tropical
breezes IMO.

It makes no sense to rebuild a city that will eventually be
under water.

That may be, but do you have a non-Stalinist plan for the 1.3 million
people that lived there? Oh, and between the Port of New Orleans and the
Port of South Louisiana, in raw tonnage, you have the fourth largest port
in the world. Any insights on where you will move them to?

Hasn't stopped these guys from subsidizing all sorts of construction on the
gulf, and these properties are essentially uninsurable privately.

Its a democratic stronghold in the south. It must be preserved along
with all its related corruption.
