Two years ago today, Hurricane Sandy hit New York City and left entire neighborhoods devastated. Facing a continued threat of flooding related to climate change, many residents decided not to return. This is their story: http://nyr.kr/1xZaMq1
If there was any thoughtful leadership restoration funding, would of went towards a "timed" buyout program from the jump while establishing a working group to construct the kind of barrier too return the shoreline to the ocean. It's not like the Gov. or the federal govt. wasn't aware of the NYC studies released that predicted it& offered possible solutions. But, the arrogance of a entitled class trumped any political will, so here is the sad aftermath.
Ask any decent person knows but republicans will not spend money on it. .They drink oil not water...Eat Sand not fish. .everyone will face the same truths...it is an equal opportunity employer.....disease i mean ...that is what we are breeding...and it will stop now......or we will all be very sorry...if you are not already......love......Love
John Lanchester laments our food-obsessed culture: “There’s just too much of everything. Too much hype, too much page space, too many programming hours, too many features and recipes and travel pieces...”
+Jeffrey Toobin weighs in on the recent changes in Texas and Wisconsin voter-I.D. laws: “It’s a depressing spectacle, but not a hopeless one.” #SCOTUS
+John Cassidy on Elizabeth Warren: “All indications suggest that she’s preparing to run as Lunch Pail Hillary, the up-and-at-’em scrapper for the working stiff who emerged in the later stages of her 2008 campaign.”
There are no altruists in D.C. Everyone is there to make money. She is as good a politician as I have seen considering they are all in it for themselves. Name another one that has taken on the banks for holding the homeowners and taxpayers of this Nation hostage until they got repaid from public funds? You cannot because she is the only one to date.
+Reeves Wiedeman on tonight's #WorldSeries game: “If you’re looking for a moment when Yost and Bochy might prove their worth tonight, it could be in the same sixth inning that got Yost in trouble back in September.”
Peavy is gone after just 1.1 innings and two runs for KC. Petit in to try to kill a bases-loaded, one-out jam. Oops, single to right by Cain, now it's 4-0! Whoa, two-run double by Hosmer, now it's 6-0! Butler gapper scores Hosmer, it's 7-0! The Royals bat around in the 2nd... Remember how this series started: Bumgarner won Game 1, then the Royals beat Peavy and Vogelsong to take the next two games. Not over yet...
+Andy Borowitz: A new poll shows that the proxy candidates of billionaires are likely to win ninety-eight per cent of next Tuesday’s races, with the remaining two per cent leaning billionaire. #satire
