I’ve got no sympathy what soever. It’s not like they didn’t know it was coming. Being unprepared is expected by the entitlement crowd... “government will provide”.
I’m always good for a few weeks just on your average day.
Thanks man. Sitting in the cold and dark w a flashlight I’m feeling the love.
OK, tell me how someone is/was supposed to expect this or prep for this.

I have as little sympathy as the next guy for blatant Darwin Award level stupidity, but this is an entirely different matter.
You’re an asshole.
As are all the others who have expressed that same opinion, and I am ashamed to see that there are as many o FR as have showed their true colors as there are.
It’s a black mark on the face of FR for the lurking/visiting world to see.
I partly agree with your statement. But it isn't always entitlement mentality that leads some to be insufficiently prepared.
For some people it is just plain denial. They simply refuse to believe that this "can happen here."
And for others, they have never envisioned the possibility of loss of things they have always known. For example, someone I know always pooh-poohs suggestions he should stockpile potable water, non-perishables, and a supply of water for flushing toilets.
He doesn't even seem to understand where tap water comes from. I warned him that if the power fails --and then if municipal generators run out of gas-- there will be no running water! He seemed surprised to learn this.
This person is very conservative and very intelligent, and has no entitlement mentality whatsoever; but he has never given much thought to where ordinary things like tap water come from.
