Thanks for sharing, we do need to be reminded of reality.

We are squandering a period of the ideal environment with empire building. Rather than addressing issues competently we as a society, choose to ignore them if they do not directly affect us. Then shit happens and dumb asses that we are, we ask why it happened. Is this the result of global warming ? who knows, the reality is - does this country have the assets to get your region functioning again ?

Kind of back to the effects of global warming, if we as a country had used the oil embargo of the 70's as incentive to get off oil dependency we probably would not be having the social or environmental problems we are having now. We chose to ignore that problem then and so now we have a multitude of problems to address now.

I hope that your situation there is not ignored and is addressed competently.
