[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if those who refused to leave, and then want taxpayers to rescue them,  are MAGA.  They support politicians who don't want to fund FEMA or provide aid to blue states when natural disasters hit, but then want taxpayers (from mostly blue states) to bail them out.[/quote]

It's a mix of people and really just human psychology at play. Often people are scared of evacuation because there is so much unknown, they are scared to lose everything they have and they often do not have much and can't start over.[/quote]
Then they shouldn't keep voting for people who want to deny federal aid to people.[/quote]

You're not listening. I'm telling you it's not a political issue. Evacuations are the same awful mess whether you voted Trump or Biden. I think people outside of hurricane areas do not get that it's not about abstracts, it's about a series of very real, pragmatic steps to take: Are you in the cone? Are you getting sand bags? Are you boarding up? Do you have food and water? Should you evacuate? Where should you evacuate? Do you have enough gas to evacuate? The logistics are so complex and some people end up playing ostrich with it all. [/quote]
I'm listening, but they aren't.

If they don't want to or can't evacuate, they should stop voting for politicians who don't want to fund federal aid to people like them.[/quote]

This is a stupid comment. Your property is going to get the same amount of damage whether you are there or not.

Of course there are massive benefits for leaving, but property damage has nothing to do with it. Sheesh.[/quote]
