Population and GDP?

So as the pop grows we're better off with fewer resources available?

And GDP? Don't even get me started.

You wreck your car and the GDP improves.

GDP is so wrong a measurement scale I'm surprised you even brought it up.

"But, even so, there’s one thing I know, and that I knew even at the end of the day on Monday, August 29th, 2005, when I was one of the small group of people in the country who was aware the coast was buried under water, even as newscasters crowed (premptively as it turned out) that NOLA had dodged the bullet: the Mississippi Gulf Coast is never going to become a Homestead and Naranja Lakes, with grass slowly overtaking empty slabs. The surge and wind hadn’t even finished dying away when people started picking up the pieces, and they haven’t stopped."

This guy and me were on the same page that day.

I knew what a CAT 5 storm was capable of.

My school, built to withstand Katrina was under 4 floors of water
(28').

Do yourself a favor and read the series this guy put together.
To see how unprepared NOLA now is.

And the Superdome/Convention Center are off limits for
storm shelter.

I wonder how many NO natives are aware of that?
