I am with you on your post. And so very glad to see your name here.
I'm now convinced that this is going to be fully equivalent to 9/11. I'm hoping that the death toll isn't as high as some are warning, but it is clear to me that the we have on the order of a million Americans, and associated workplaces, who are going to require our attention. I'm more and more speechless contemplating the magnitude of this seminal event in our history.
I am thinking,,why the promises "NO will be rebuilt",,why the rush to fix the levees?
There needs to be a serious thought about whether to rebuild or not. And if rebuilding, how to do it.
I like the Venice idea. And those lagoons in Venice are filthy so we wouldn't even have to worry about the water, just the mosquitoes.
