You seem like some egomaniac that has the world all figured out but probably doesn't have their own life in perfect condition but that's just my guess.
Pretty spot on, minus the egomaniac part I hope.

Sure, but it is still a personal accountability issue. Doesn't mean there is a soul who deserved any of this, but relying on FEMA is/was preventable. We can sugar coat it out of respect, but it doesn't change the validity. I hope everyone gets the help they truly need and hopefully the silver lining of this experience is that people soften some of their hardline stances on other folks that are struggling.

When you say "relying on FEMA is/was preventable", you lose your argument. Because no one person is insured for every single one of life's possible tragedies. The "should have" argument can be applied to people living next to a nuclear plant in Japan. Or living on the beach along the Indian Ocean. ANYWHERE in the US would have flooded if they got 3 feet of rain in 60 hours.

You're completely missing the point. Oh well

I wasn't going to chime in, until I read this. My uncle works for a government agency, I wont say which one- but he does not make a lot of money. Id say around 12 dollars an hour. Very hard working man, but nothing more than a high school education. His wife works at home keeping kids. They own a small trailer in Central. Lost everything they had worked 40+ years for. Didn't have flood insurance, because they couldn't afford it. The man has excellent credit, never missed a car note, or house note. But still needs FEMA. So, don't tell me that needing assistance in a disaster is avoidable.
