Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look? Ooh
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the Book
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever have
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Redemption songs
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but… -Bob Marley
Dude Hoboken is likely to be underwater by the 2020's
I said office not to live.
And NYC will also be underwater...So will Miami Beach...Southern California will have a big earthquake and break off from the Continental USA...Hawaii will no longer be due to a big volcano eruption...The supervolcano of Yellowstone will erupt and wipe off half the planet...
It makes no sense to worry about something that is not going to happen in
your life time unless you are looking to pass on a piece of real estate to your children.
Live in the moment now, today!
The only thing that should worry anybody about tomorrow is waking up.

Those all have different severities and probabilities (virtually zero for Southern California breaking off and falling into the ocean, though big earthquakes are likely).

Some of us are millennials or maybe younger and will live to see some of these consequences.
When we bought, we bought way outside of flood zones because those floods are likely to come with greater frequency and greater severity. It may take a while for those places to simply be permanently underwater, and NYC or parts of it are potentially valuable enough to the country that they embark on massive engineering projects to ward such off, but the flood severity and frequency is going to increase and the people living in those zones are going to end up paying for it some way or other.

We should seek the advise of the Dutch. They have some experience with what they did with Amsterdam.

Then it behooves you to work with every thread of your being to forestall those that can be forestalled.
yes, and you have every right to feel as you do and to be as emphatic as your post. You should be pissed; you were screwed.
You answered the "I've got mine, so f-it" meme very well.
