Advanced economies too are plagued by inequalities which make parts of their population vulnerable to external shocks and natural disasters, as shown by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the United States.

Yeah, that's for sure. Katrina was particularly hard on welfare moochers and stupid people who did not listen to orders to evacuate New Orleans, for example. They were just like people who stand on the train tracks and ignore the oncoming train because they're waiting for somebody to send a limo for them.

I think of it as social Darwinism in action. Nature can be very harsh with stupid, useless career social dependants with no sense of responsibility for their own self-preservation. That's how God culls the herd.

Social Darwinist, eh? Yet another sign of the bad fruit of Darwinism.

And don't bring God into this, especially as culling some herd.
