It is not just this storm. My beef is that the media overhype the weather, aided by the nanny state that is telling people what to do. And what do we then see? Media out in the same storms faking it. We see the police running roughshod over the citizenry. Treat people like idiots, they act like idiots and become dependent upon the government to tell them what to do, when, and how. Worst example is Puerto Rico where people then sat around, even now by some accounts, waiting for government. Please need to be responsible for themselves. If they live in a substandard shack, if they live on the water, if they don’t have basic supplies, sure, leave, go to a shelter. But don’t pull the holier than thou BS with the rest of the citizens where can think and act for themselves.
Guess what? That has nothing to do with the reality of an impending landfalling major hurricane. So please, just slink away until after the storm is gone. The truth is, people on the coast need to leave. As do you from this thread, unless you want to report actual news about the storm.
The teamsters who trucked the stuff around demanded an extra $50 to haul the stuff and then demanded that they run alone with no one watching what they do. Pretty obvious what was going on there.
