Year 2091- Atlanta Oceanfront Developers Reject the Walled City Approach
Claiming that building a wall around the oncoming ocean would destroy the current suburban housing values, the Atlanta Ocean Front Developers Association called for more ideas to save the existing oceanfront homes while protecting Atlanta from ocean creep. Walled city advocates suggested that these outskirt homes be put on the new mega floats and put out to sea with the advantage of getting these homeowners out of the Atlanta District while keeping them on top of the world of nature they most adore.
2081- Great Apple Wall Needs Repairs
New York City is applying for $423 billion to make repairs in the dike/walls that have protected the city since the “Great Ocean Inundation” of 2046. Apparently, the Great Big Apple Wall has been seeping at the core. Many Windbelt congressmen have already stated their opposition citing that the funds could be spent in more reputable places like sunny South Dakota. Said Senator Boone Pickens IV, (R-Neb),”Certainly supporting the NY Times and Trust Street (formerly Wall Street) is a black hole. We can teleport the whole bunch to new housing and offices in Utah or Nebraska for less money."
Year 2046- Contractor Mental Health
Contractor associations urged passing the $245 million Contractor Stress Management Assistance Program in front of the House today. Spokesperson for the associations also said that legally limiting mandatory bidding lists as big as 50 firms to 5 firms is a must or contractor voluntary hospitalizations will continue to overwhelm hospitals and swallow up the existing supply of tranquilizers and antidepressants. An ad hoc group of owner associations is opposing the measure declaring that no one ever gave them a break in stress management in the last 100 years.

On Hiring Relatives; Blood may be thicker sicker than water but it still stains, gives me chills, and is revolting when splattered. Question: What is more fun – listening to a one sided post project owner’s evaluation or having a root canal? I love poker but I'm not addicted to gambling at all. I am addicted, however, to sitting in project meetings and gambling someone will get it right. Architects and contractors are a lot alike in some situations. Like when a building is collapsing on top of them. Derrick Driver-It is not the job of a concrete truck driver that he likes. It is the people that he runs into. I am walking down the street, and a bunch of construction workers working on a building are whistling down at women. By pretend they're whistling at me and I waved back, shaker little hip. They threw their thermos bottles at me. I sell them on eBay. I think that makes me the winner. Basil White Question: What is more coherent – a 70 year old senior partner after two six-packs or the same senior partner explaining the newest software? I was the last of the five partners. After I came the other partners never spoke to each other again.
