Puerto Rico

I feel sorry for the people in Puerto Rico.  They could not have picked a worse time for a natural disaster - as if they had a choice.  We had three major hurricanes within about 2 weeks of each other.  All of the disaster relief had been spent by the time Hurricane Maria decided to hit.

Instead of spending time feeling sorry for ourselves by publically protesting this and that, disrespecting the national anthem, and whining about how life isn't fair (nobody ever said that it would be) and playing the victim card for media attention, why don't we take that energy and attention to help those in Puerto Rico?

This is just the beginning of natural disaster scenarios that will shape the future.  Global warming will continue to produce freakishly and more frequently powerful storms that will wipe out places like Puerto Rico leaving behind a colossal mess.  I've said this before and I'll say it again.  The situation is way more severe than what we are led to believe.  If we knew the magnitude of what lies ahead, people would panic.  I have just one question:  Just where are what are we going to do with all the people?

I'm certain Puerto Rico's residents are all ready to relocate due to this natural disaster.  This is the first of many entire populations looking for refuge because global warming.

p.s.  Beach front property is a BAD investment. Say good-bye to places like Amsterdam that lie below sea level.  Amsterdam will be the next Atlantis.
