New Orleans is not flooding. The areas around New Orleans are utterly devastated by flooding. New Orleans is suffering from the failure of a privatized utility to solve problems it knew about and promised to solve for a decade
New York and New Orleans are flooding. Fires are raging across the west. Working people are dying from heat domes.
And yet, Joe Manchin is worried Democrats might do ~too much~ to fight the climate crisis.

It did! It protected New Orleans from catastrophic flooding. But the larger project of saving the Louisiana coast and wetlands which we have spent decades neglecting is what exposed Lafourche and the River Parishes to this disaster.
The real story of

New Orleans was flooded in 2005. But in the decades following it was also strangled by disaster profiteering, by privatization, by gentrification. Much of it perpetrated or at least enabled by people from other parts of the country who tut tutted that we shouldn't live here

For a safe holiday the City of New Orleans reminds you to avoid the following:

2) driving at all, really
3) also don't take the ferry
4) it's definitely not safe to bike
5) watch for falling cranes
6) also exploding manholes
7) don't even touch the water
City officials are detailing safety plans for the holiday season.
