    That’s not how I interpreted their comment. It seems to me that they were making a statement about the broad political climate of Florida being somewhat of a lost cause, using the example of ineffectively trying to stop the ocean from reclaiming the land while simultaneously railing against efforts to combat climate change.

    You specifically are not the problem, but a majority of your neighbors are. The problem isn’t going to be fixed by national political forces, y’all need to organize and fix it yourselves.
