Unfortunately, Mr. Hage – building a sea wall is easy. Getting the permits and going through all the lawsuits and then actually building the sea wall will take much longer than 10 years, which is when AOC said the world will end. Of course, AOC is wrong, like Al Gore, whose end of the world prediction already expired, so the best thing is to do nothing and let nature take its course. For people worried about flooding, let them pay for a sea wall, as it affects them, not the majority of us. I get the feeling these folks will opt for flood insurance.
