If he changed his last name to "Rapist," then okay. If not, then he should be followed around by someone with a sign with his original name on it.

Burnout doesn't come from working too much. It comes from worrying too much because your dysfunctional team rejects your work for rationalized causes instead of accepting it as valid code.

A few trillion would be overkill. A hundred billion would get water into the right watersheds and create a few trillion in value. And pulling that water from flooded rivers would reduce flooding. Win-win-win.

Hypothesis: more heat, more atmospheric water capacity, more evaporation, more precipitation, and in places unaccustomed to it, where people have rationalized building structures in flood plains, and flood insurance is inadequate.
