    Yeah, I think New Orleans wasn’t a really as much a “rich people problem” as much as what a flooding of NY would be. That’s when people will have their come-to-Jesus moment and be like, “Oh shit, we should probably start doing something about this!”

      We won’t though. The rich will move to their 2nd or 3rd homes until there is nowhere else to go. The rest of us who aren’t cultists will continue screaming until our vocal chords snap. And by that point the smog will be too thick to take another breath.

      Our only hope, our only choice, is action. Right now, this year. Or we can scavenge for substance as the last is swallowed by the flies.
