    Perhaps to much water.

        Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink,
        The oceans rise, the glaciers die, the Earth begins to sink.
        The skies grow dark, the rivers fade, the wells run dry with fear.
        The cost of greed, the toll of need, grows heavier each year.

        The forests fall, the deserts spread, the air turns thick and gray.
        The cries of life once teeming here grow fainter by the day.
        A thousand streams that once ran pure now choke on plastic’s tide,
        And those who thirst, who seek relief, find emptiness worldwide.

        The crops refuse to bear their fruit, the soil turns to sand,
        And yet we drill, and yet we burn, and plunder every land.
        The balance tips, the warning signs grow louder to ignore,
        But still we waste, we hesitate, and ravage evermore.

        Oh, can’t you see, the world must change before it is too late?
        The fragile web that binds us all bends under mounting weight.

        We must unite, we must repair, and tread with lighter care,
        For water, water everywhere must soon flow free and fair.

    The answer to a question in the title is always NO.

    But at least the grass will be green when we die.

      The answer is yes, but all the water will be delivered over the course of 1 or 2 days every few years.

    Morons, the coastline continues to disappear to the growing oceans, insuring property is becoming more and more impossible without handing over huge amounts of cash and even then many major insurers don’t operate in FL anymore.

    Why exactly are people moving to the cesspool?

    I get that people hate snow but hurricanes are less fun. While not bleak, the job market seems mid at best, perhaps even volatile.

      Cheap land, conservative values, and low taxes: the siren call for ancient fixed income retirees everywhere.

          Thank you for pointing out my missing quotes! I also mistyped “land” instead of “land that will be useless to future generations”. 🫠

            Oh, I read it as “land that will be useful as SCUBA tour sites for future generations of carnival barkers & the like”, but it’s a very similar spelling, so that’s on me.

        Avoiding taxes is going to bite them in other ways. It’s not the cheap retiree paradise it used to be. Housing is skyrocketing, FL has some of the highest health care costs, insurance for auto and particularly home are getting incredibly expensive, the housing prices climbing mean property taxes are getting more expensive, and we haven’t even got to the rising temperatures, sea levels and worse storms.

      Better buy insurance now then. That way, when the time comes, they can deny your claim because of natural disasters.
