Rebuttal time.
In regions with infrequent flooding, cost-effective variants of my design could be implemented, such as barriers concealed in ditches or low-lying areas until activation. These could operate for short durations, mere weeks, before requiring refurbishment. Utilizing water pressure to inflate barriers made from recycled rubber or plastic composites would provide a sustainable, low-maintenance solution. Insurance providers could be incentivized to fund these initiatives, as they would substantially reduce overall claim payouts through proactive risk mitigation.
I assure you, there is no justification for flooding to impose billions in costs on taxpayers and policyholders. Flood insurance premiums should be significantly lower, and infrastructure developments should prioritize permanence and resilience.
Of course, entrenched practices persist for historical reasons, but those stem from eras predating the end of pre-automation resource scarcity.
In a decade, automatons will outnumber humans, based on my mathematical projections.
Prepare for widespread workforce displacement.
