That Hurricane Was A Good Start

Well, if there's an economic boon to destruction - wild fires, warfare, hurricanes - then, concludes the Café:

"Let's begin by rewriting building codes. From now on, all such codes should penalize builders who construct homes, offices, warehouses, and other buildings to last longer than, say, a year. Builders guilty of the crime of constructing buildings that withstand damages from the likes of spring rains and autumn breezes should be fined in order to ensure that all Americans have ready access to economic blessings of the sort delivered by the Waldo Canyon fire.

"Also, voters – always wise, for vox populi is indeed vox dei - should demand of their government that every road, bridge, tunnel, harbor, and other piece of infrastructure built from here on in be designed to crumble as soon as possible.

"The economy will benefit. Must be so, for that is what we are repeatedly told."
