*Googles how long does it take to build a bridge*

Oh dear. My #Sanibel is not going to make it.

There is only one bridge on and off my hometown of #SanibelIsland.

And while it is being rebuilt, what will Sanibel's economy run on?
Sanibel has one industry: tourism.

Who will visit? How will they get there? Where will they stay? What will they do? What will they eat?

The answers to those questions represent thousands of jobs that will not come back for a long time.
These are mostly low-income and working class jobs.

The people who did them last week need to make money tomorrow.

They can't wait until the bridge is rebuilt. They'll have to find work elsewhere.
