[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope this turns out ok, but I have to say - how much money are we spending to rescue these millionaires??  Our Coast Guard and tons of other military resources are being used to find them.  I feel the same way about people who voluntarily choose to hike in dangerous areas or climb Mt. Everest.  They should have to sign a waiver beforehand, agreeing that they take full responsibility and will not expect a rescue mission should something go wrong.  [/quote]
Or people who refuse to evacuate during a hurricane but then need rescuing putting first responders at risk. But we are a human society so we make every attempt to save a life no matter who is at fault. [/quote]

A lot of those people are too poor to leave though. You’d have to sort that out first. The poorest people don’t have cars, enough money for gas, or they are so afraid of losing their job they won’t go unless their boss tells them to. And if your boss can profit off the panic, they need workers to stay.[/quote]
