Have just taken delivery of Stephen Baskerville's new book, Who Lost America? Why the US went "Communist" and what to do about it.

Only a quarter way through it but he's castigated the conservative side of politics for allowing the Left to enforce a silent coup. His remedy appears to be that we must all get involved in the political process at grass level. It's a pity because political types are tremendous bores and no normal person is interested in wielding power over his fellows. But if that's what is required to keep the tyrannical repulsive "progressives" at bay, then I'm all for it.

Speaking of Baskerville, he's well worth reading on whatever topic he targets. He's that very rare beast; an intelligent academic who can also write very well.

Not sure what your beef is. Developers are still building in flood zones. They employ engineers to do the studies and then if necessary go to court to fight in their corners. It has always seems crazy yo me to live anywhere near a flood zone. I suspect if you live in flood zone, climate change or not insurance will be increasingly difficulty to obtain. Understandably so. There is lots of rain events occurring at present.

I get the the climate change issues is garbage. Not all engineers who do the flood studies believe in the climate cult.
