Not hardly, you just constantly post idiotic false twaddle and then get mad when I call you on it.
It's not false if it's pulled from the air.  It's my fault, I should know better.  You're going to assume it's anything other than what I intended.

And honestly, are the masses really all that dumb?

I think I'm pretty smart. I'm working on planning out my future life. Thinking about investment and my retirement, considering where I might or might not live if I choose to leave CA, trying to plan my career, etc etc.

If I had an amazing job opportunity in Miami, and everything personally would also line up, I wouldn't let concern about sea levels in 2100 stop me from accepting it. It's just on too long of a time horizon given that I'd be 122 years old in 2100, so I highly doubt I'll see it. And even if somehow I did live that long, I'm sure I would have signs well before then that would say "get the hell out of FL" and get ahead of it before it was underwater.

Would you call me dumb if I moved to FL? I doubt it, because you'd be implicitly calling a bunch of posters on this board dumb for choosing to live there. Do we call OAM dumb for living in the desert? No, because clearly he had a job opportunity that made sense for him on a personal level.

It can simultaneously be stupid to have a giant city in the middle of the desert relying on imported water to survive, and smart for individual people to move to that city.

How did you get that from any of my posts?
No, someone isn't dumb for moving somewhere in order to make a living.
It IS dumb that Phoenix exists in its current state.  And Vegas.  And LA.  And, and, and.
.
No, it's not dumb that it was initially settled.  It's dumb that we allowed these small river-side towns grown into metropolises.  It's dumb that we're having water issues for the 40 million people watered by the Colorado River that we're screwing farmers and trying to steal water from Natives on reservations we put them on.
.
Can any statement about a massive group NOT be internalized and made about an individual on this board?!?  IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.

Ummm out of college, there were zero teaching jobs in FL.  They were pink-slipping everyone and only hiring back some people.  Each job opening had like 40 applicants, and I had no experience.


There are tons of jobs now.

That word means something very different if you're under 30.

 Phoenix has numerous rivers and creeks coming out of the mountains with a number of reservoirs and water from the Colorado through the CAP canal. I think they bank a lot of that in aquifers. Phoenix's reservoirs on the Salt, Verde, and Agua Fria Rivers are pretty much full right now.
