      The economy won’t exist as it is today. Cost of adapting is bigger than economic growth by 2100, if not 2050. Private isurance as a concept no longer applies in many places as many properties are exposed to floods and storms by then making it too expensive to be useful.

        I know. My comment was a jest. People will destroy the long term health of the economy in the name of the economy. What they really mean is But, my profits!

          I figured but couldn’t help myself.

          Yeah, they’re going “party now, leave the broken furniture for somebody else”

            Yeah they’re privatizing the game since socializing the losses. Only the social losses will be passed on to our children and grandchildren unfortunately.

              Dark ages version 2.0 coming up. It’ll work itself out by the next millennium.

                I hope by the next century myself. Global population reduced to about a million. Living in small solar punk communities.

                That’s my hope anyway. My fear is that it’s going to get really dark.
