Besides, gas and hot air are negative weights.

Gotta start somewhere. Throw in all the ambulance chasers, too.

Not nearly enough but a darn good start,

Considering that most of the weight is south of Central Park, one day Manhattan might suddenly flip over.

Maybe they should attach helium balloons to all the buildings.

Would it help if they got rid of Trump Tower?

It’s sinking at the rate of 1 to 2 mm. per year.

So far I rather like this new mayor. Maybe toss him a life-ring.

Even worse, there’s a lot of smoke there right now.

Q: What do you call a hundred politicians on the bottom of the Atlantic ocean?

A: A good start.

Sorry, I know 99.3% of you have heard it already.

It would make more sense in NYC to throw all the stockbrokers overboard. Or at least their bosses. But yeah, reducing the number of skyscrapers would be a good idea.

Include hedge fund managers, corporate executives, stockbrokers, finance people, many high level pr flacks and I’m on board.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is raising some eyebrows with a comment he made about the U.S. territory of Guam during a House Armed Services Committee hearing last Thursday.

In a discussion regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island, Johnson expressed some concerns about the plans to Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet.

“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” Johnson said. Willard paused and replied, “We don’t anticipate that.”

Online pundits have wasted no time lampooning the congressman for his remarks.

Democrats.

I’m with Pam on that one. It’ll uh…..”clear the air” if you will hehehe

Coincidentally the oceans are rising.

That would carbonate the water

I see absolutely no problems with this plan

Pam for President!

Did the engineers learn nothing from Tower of Pisa?

Never waste a good crisis.

Pam is always the brains of the strip.

I wonder if Washington DC is sinking too. We might try her plan there as well. it does sound like a good concept.

Let’s not be too hasty. If we got rid of all the politicians, who would run the country – into the ground.

I like the way Pam thinks.

Follow with the lawyers…

Same.

as do we all

Aluminum girders instead of steel!

Better do it anyway just in case you are wrong . . .

See today’s (rerun) of For Better Or Worse. April has an idea…

Run some wells some 1, 000 to 2,000 feet deep and then pump down slurry with enough pressure to raise it up and of course the slurry being able to fill in the space that is created.

Repeat as necessary.

Throwing all the politicians overboard would be a good start.

Thought about it.. You could maybe snag 200’ extra ground height in the east Washington Heights neighborhood near Harlem.
