These so called disasters are sure-fire vehicle for MASSIVE gubmint increase.
If you live in a hurricane-prone/flood-prone/earthquake-prone/tornado-prone zones, you have to take personal responsibility to your own lives and property. Sure, the gubmint will bring their “relief” and “rescue”, but those should be minimal and focused ONLY on saving lives, rather than “help rebuild”.
Gubmint does NOT “help” rebuild anything. It is pure transfer of wealth.
Both sides can play the “don’t let a crisis go to waste” game.
