It would do our government good to raze the northwest corner of the country down to a new seabed and figure out a way to plant a semi-permanent ridge where the land once stood, forcing Arctic air down into the east year-round, providing a resilient shield against global warming for the most populous corridor of the nation.
Our wellbeing is actually an inconvenience to the vast majority of those that live in the US. To even dare ask for rains we associate with the natural course of our seasons is a blight against god's will. Shame on us. If we had any integrity we'd all migrate east en masse, or just bite a .45 already.
