I know that - I live near the Chesapeake Bay, downtown Baltimore, and saw significant flooding last fall caused by a hurricane. I can only imagine that with the global warming I would have a waterfront property or perhaps even underwater.
But nonetheless I am prepared to pay that price for the demise of the US capitalism. I have this idea in my head about someone in 1940 in Paris, watching the Nazi troops marching under the Arc de Triomphe, without knowing that only two or so years later there would be Stalingrad - a combination of natural and human-made conditions that precipitated the demise of the Nazi juggernaut. So I am hoping that the Gringos, triumphant as they are today, will eventually meet their Stalingrad, perhaps even in my life time. That keeps the hope alive. Otherwise, one may as well off oneself.
