@iPad27823539 @WallStreetApes Jersey Shore? Very familiar with the beach replenishment projects there, especially Ocean City NJ.

@WallStreetApes When I lived at the beach on the east coast, sand was dredged directly from the ocean floor.
This appears to be yet another money laundering scheme.

Orange County California is spending $440,000 to truck in tons of new sand to help stop the eroding coast line
Capistrano Beach once had volleyball courts, but those are now gone due to beach erosion
This has been tried before, it didn’t work. “Staff with OC Parks say they placed 20,000 cubic yards of sand at this beach in 2024, but by the fall of 2025, it was gone, leaving the nearby railroad tracks and homes at risk, jeopardizing the region's most valuable asset, its beaches.”
They’ve come up with a solution. Raise taxes on everyone to keep trying
“Residents in San Clemente are considering a 1% sales tax increase that would in part go to funding projects like this one”
This project will have about 30 trucks per day, each carrying 25 tons through mid-June
Here’s what they don’t tell you. This is a man made problem
Dams on rivers upstream) trap 2/3 of the natural sand that used to replenish beaches. Development and coastal seawalls block cliff erosion that once supplied sand
Trucking sand is expensive and always temporary. Waves typically move it offshore or down the coast within months to a year. It’s a band-aid

Fun fact.
The Switzerlands largest supermarket, Migros, doesn’t sell alcohol or tobacco in stores, pays no dividends, caps profits by lowering prices if earnings exceeds 5%, is a cooperative with 2M+ members, and donates 1% of revenue to social projects, purely out of the founders moral philosophy.

In 2007, a 12-year-old Norwegian boy named Hans Jorgen Olsen saved both himself and his sister from a vicious moose attack using skills he learned from playing World of Warcraft: "taunt" and "feign death."
He first taunted the moose to attract its attention and let his sister escape, and then he played dead until the moose lost interest.
