American Disaster Response

The dirty secret is that survival is already determined by wealth.

The overwhelming majority of people who stay behind during hurricanes aren’t people who “don’t believe it will be bad” or don’t think they need to leave.

They’re people who can’t afford to leave and/or have nowhere to go.

I'm kinda surpised this wasn't already a thing

1250 per year for a reserved seat on a plane for my wife and kids while i stay home and ensure the house isnt looted.

Im in.

This is a great deal TBH.

Ofc americans trying to capitalise natural disasters

I bet that when it’s time to put this into practice it won’t work. They just won’t follow the process and wont take care of you.

Wait until she discovers what disaster insurance is.

I smell a scam

Surprised people kind of just accept this as a "I don't know why this hadn't happened sooner" . It's because this is how you set up an incentive to begin to privatize other emergency relief services that this shouldn't exist. Next stop is selling access to food and supplies during a natural disaster or to decide if a private fire fighting team has your credit card information before they can put out your house. Do we not see how this is bad in the long run? 

Remember a few years ago when people were threatening FEMA and other services for trying to HELP? For FREE? This is what happens.
