It makes sense that creative people create jobs, which creates prosperity.
Der Quibblemeister thinks the journalist who used
tsunami" that way is all wet. A tsunami does not grow
gradually or incrementally.
From the Internet:
Most tsunamis are generated by shallow earthquakes in subduction zones, since those are the commonest earthquakes which distort the seafloor. The only subduction zones around the Atlantic are the Puerto Rico Trench and the Antilles subduction zone around the eastern Caribbean and the South Sandwich Trench south of South America. These subduction zones are both smaller and much less active the subduction zones that circle the Pacific, so the Atlantic has many fewer tsunamis. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have any! Tsunamis have hit Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands half-a-dozen times in recorded history (most recently in 1918, when 32 people died). But by far the most famous Atlantic tsunami was generated by an earthquake nowhere near a subduction zone.
