2. Free people should truly choose drowning over government action and socialist control. (Sarcasm).Report

   1. This is merely a market correction, freeing up accumulated capital in the coastal cities, allowing for the creation of new coastal cities. Between that and lower capital gains taxes, I foresee 8% GDP growth per year as long as the destruction continues!Report

   2. “Live Free or Drown!”Report

      1. If NYC were to drown, would it be in our best interest to recreate it or make 3-4 new cities somewhere else?Report

         1. In the TeeVee show The Expanse, NYC is surrounded by a 300 foot high Wall holding back those deceitful liberal waters. Water-tight, attractive… Piece a cake. Which makes me think the political path to solving this problem is staring us right in the face.Report

            1. So, you’re saying the answer to this problem too is, “Build a wall?”

               Huh.Report

               1. I report, you decide.Report

                  1. Course, The Donald might not be the man for the job:

                     “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” 11/6/2012Report

                  2. And I for one admire their entrepreneurial spirit in taking up such a bold initiative.

                     But, what you’re really saying then is that stopping Climate Change requires tough negotiations with China?

                     Huh.Report

                  3. Hey, I’m just reporting. If you’re deciding on Trump, well…Report

               2. And we’ll make the fish pay for it.Report

                  1. Or New Jersey… let’s be honest with whom we are keeping out.Report

            2. Legalized marijuana.
               Gay marriage.
               Massive seawall.

               Can’t you see that this is all a liberal plot to turn us into another Netherlands?Report

               1. The revenge of New Amsterdam?Report

                  1. Why they changed it I can’t say…Report

4. Thank god it’s finally happening. That near waterfront property will soon be waterfront!

   Bonus: DC will be submerged. Can we assure that all levels of fed gov will stay at their posts and go down with the ship? One can only hope.Report

   1. No such luck. The Patent Office opened a new facility in Denver in 2014.Report

      1. How big a facility we talkin’ here? I think Damon and I could haul water if that’s the last holdout.Report

         1. The web is spread farther around the Denver area. Off the top of my head… national labs (NIST, NREL, NOAO); the Denver Federal Center has lots of agencies; BLM for most of the Rocky Mountain region is here; the SS location that handled my app is here; IIRC, the CIA is considering a Denver branch in order to spread the risk.Report

            1. Denver was Heinlein’s usual choice for capital of the US after DC gets nuked.Report

               1. Too many liberals there now. 🙂Report

         2. Without their masters in DC what will they do? How will they get paid?Report

            1. Out of the office of national debt, which is in WVReport

   2. I think they would move everything to Pueblo…Report

5. Sigh… I suppose one of these years we’ll have to move the “mile high” survey marker in the Capitol steps up one step. What a hassle…Report
