Out of curiousity...after the last week, when a metro area of 6.5 million people flooded, many others are waiting rivers to breach into their homes, and the storm is stil moving....do you still think we should all just move? Do you still think we will all fund buyers who either think this can be fixed or don’t think

Please note that few synagogues are actively sheltering people because most flooded, some catastrophically. As did the Jewish Community Center and multiple Jewish Day Schools.

Give the man a break!

But what about the poor children in Zimbabwe with AIDS? Who will doxx them now. 

8 foot stilts? Are we back at the beach Piers. Driven into the ground. Try 12 foot high enclosures of wall cinderblock wall and steel framing with engineneered flood vents. Bring your knowledge into the 21st century, please.

Do you not recall saying, “Sorry you’re screwed but while you can still sell to morons that think this is a) going to be fixed or b) not real, DO IT”

So your answer is to think about myself, right? Me. Me. Me. Fuck everyone else? Am I capturing your sentiment correctly?

I live in the 4th largest city in the country. Numbers 1-3 have serious flooding problems as well. 7 of the 10 largest cities in America struggle with flooding.

Sorry...but I already had the high water vehicle pulling me out of 4 feet of water after a flash flood in my suburban neighborhood. People died. They drowned in their homes and when rescue boats capsized.

Some of those obscure, unknown white men have done great things that deserve greater recognition.

Theon of Smyrna Highway. I will accept “Smyrna Highway” as an alternate title.

Of course I’m an outsider. That was the entire point of my serving FASB. That I was an outsider.

I would argue that any CEO who has run a business in a heavily regulated industry, such as banking, DOES have government experience.

Why wouldn’t you want to drop someone from the private sector into a position heading a government agency?

Because accusing any powerful, successful person of ANY wrongdoing is scary and overwhelming and potentially life changing. You don’t do it on a whim.

Doesn’t that open the door for psychiatrists to make armchair diagnoses of any politician or public figure?

I spent most of my career on Wall Street. I was neither a career politician not a public servant. Then I spent two years “on loan” to FASB (Federal Accounting Standards Board).

Being a Texas lawmakers is not a full time job. Our lawmakers are engineers and farmers and ranchers and accountants and small business owners and stay at home parents.
