Sorry I annoyed you. Wasn’t necessarily commenting on this particular action being taken. It just seems like the federal government (taxpayer) is going to forever be responsible for protecting a well populated area that just happens to be under sea-level.
I read another article today about the planned flooding where someone said ‘Bush did nothing about NOLA/Katrina’ and that “neither president did,” whatever that meant.
When the place you live floods, one moves, I would think.
You really have no clue about the strategic value of the ports of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, have you? You really have no idea how much of America’s oil refining is performed along this stretch of the river. Do you even know what’s at stake here — possible loss of the Mississippi River to a new channel — or do you just like to run your mouth?
“When the place you live floods, one moves, I would think.”
Which is largely what has happened - and why BR now has a larger population than NO, which is nowhere CLOSE to where it was pre-Katrina pop.-wise.
