It’s been close to ten years now wtf

Building where I used to work downtown is one of the few buildings that has a plan for next time. (They got severely flooded by Sandy)

They have an 8-foot perimeter wall that can get setup in a few hours. They test it annually to ensure it will hold back water for several days. You can see the perimeter installation posts in the concrete around the building. Seems like a much better idea than sandbags. Also their vulnerable stuff like network and power access is now moved up from the ground floor.

All the organized crime of yore didn't just disappear. It just got absorbed into all the labor/construction unions. It's all a grift, and we all get fucked. Can't do anything in this state without making sure all the right pockets get lined, the right contractors get picked, and everyone get steak dinners and Miami vacations.

10 years is nothing, give it another 25 at least.

I concur

Bro its ALWAYS been in labor and construction unions. and longshoreman, and garbage, and every other business that could graft a contract

Man its wild how this dynamic between organized crime and construction is sorta just “welp thats just the way it is”

Who has the power to change that?

Literally no one.

85 broad?

Last time we had a hurricane swing through I saw it set up with barriers.

I line in New Orleans and we still haven't spent all the federal relief money from Katrina.
