Plenty of videos of this, so, of course
NYC Is Totally Unprepared for Climate Disaster (but Has a Lot of Cops)
New Yorkers trying to get on the subway today faced water streaming out of station walls and ceilings, water up to their hips, and flooded, electrified tracks. The Metropolitan Transit Authority urged riders not to take the train as parents figure out how to get their children home from schools facing similarly dire conditions. New York City Mayor Eric Adams was nowhere to be seen Friday morning, as the possibly one-in-100-year storm struck. Adams’ office defended his radio silence by saying it had put out a press release just after 11 p.m. last night; Adams eventually gave a virtual press briefing around noon, 40 minutes after it was scheduled to begin. (Adams spent the night before the floods at a fundraiser where attendees were encouraged to give more than $2,000.)
As climate change turns flooding into a more regular, deadly problem for the five boroughs, Adams has seemed more concerned during the first months of his administration about inundating the subway with cops, whose main purpose seems to be the implicit threat of physical violence. There are 2,500 NYPD officers deployed in the transit system and an additional 1,000 dispatched there daily. That’s in addition to around 1,100 MTA cops and NYPD officers helping to spend down city resources with excessive overtime. In Times Square, they’ll now be joined by a 400 pound robot cop named K5, leased out from private surveillance company Knighscope for $9 an hour. For reference, as Hell Gate pointed out, just 1,200 officers patrolled the system in 1991, when there were nearly three times as many murders underground and about nine times as many felonies.
You get the point. The far, far, far Left New Republic continues to bash the NYPD and Mayor Adams, but, never considered what the city could do if they weren’t spending billions on the feeding and care of illegal aliens, being that they are a sanctuary city. If they weren’t losing tons of tax base as people and businesses leave due to soft on crime policies. And so much more crazy spending. Perhaps they would have the money for the infrastructure. Oh, and, back when CO2 was under the “safe” limit of 350ppm and fossil fueled vehicles were limited

As someone who used to live in the Keystone State, and still pays attention to foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia, I can assure you that no large city has enough cops!
What would Manhattan look like if sea level rose eight feet?
Can anyone really be surprised that a city built on a low-level island, a city in which a large number of buildings have basements below street level, and a city which has a huge public transportation system built underground, might occasionally have problems with flooding?
Frankly in that photo it looks to me like there’s not enough water.
So, if sea levels rise enough, we won’t need to build a wall around Manhattan to make it a prison. We can just import lots and lots of sharks to keep people from trying to escape.
Imagine how wonderful America would be if all NYC, Miami, Key West, San Diego, LA, SF, Seattle, Houston, New Orleans and Boston denizens were drowned by flooding!!
After executing General Mark Milley, maybe President-for-life Trump could nuke Chicago, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Portland, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, San Antone, KC, Indy, Pittsburgh, Philly, Louisville, Austin, Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and DC.
Finally, retribution and an America even a MAGAt could love!!
