    Not to spoil your righteous rage to much, but in the retirement community I live in the courses have a duel purpose.

    If it’s dry people play golf.

    If there is a hurricane or flood or rain event, they function as retentions ponds.

    Seeing a golf course turn into a lake in a single day is an awesome sight.

    No rivers or swamps around here to soak up the rain. So the whole place was engineered on purpose to use the courses.

      yeah and there’s simply no other way to do flood abatement than building a fuckin golf course that requires water, fertilizer, gas to mow and is a historically racist as fuck sport, played by a tiny number of people, both in terms of population and asset utilization.

      it’s trump’s favorite, that should tell you everything.

      reevaluate your choices.

        Nope. No reevaluation required.

        Did you miss the retirement community part?

        This is the last stop this train makes. I’m just chilling in heavens waiting room. Shouldn’t be long till they call my number.
