Where I live I would not expect the federal govt. to pick up the tab for an earthquake, even though it's not all that active.
Am I paying for you to live on a fault line or fire zone
In short, No, you sure aren't.
People on the coast pay the highest insurance premiums in the country
It isn't high enough if you keep going back.
WE subsidize YOUR insurance. Thats a simple fact.
Don't make me laugh, simple addition will show how many 100's of billions of dollars (if not trillions) have gone to hurricane & earthquake repair just in my lifetime. You folks haven't picked up the tab, like it or not.
I haven't had sheetrock in my kitchen or bathroom in 4 months and haven't slept over 6 hours in one night in 6 months. cry me a river
Cry one for the rest of America that's paying for your lack of common sense while you're at it.
You know, I really don't care about your bad day
I spent a lot more than a DAY down there trying to help you ungrateful leaches.
Tell me why the United states should write off a city. Did we write off California beach homes during El'Nino? How much money was paid for west coast fires?
#1 Because it wasn't worth saving, you live on the coast in a hurricane zone below sea level. That's as ignorant as living on the side of a volcano.
#2 We should have written off Kalifornia completely when it was discovered that it is going to continue to have frequent earthquakes.
#3 Too much I'm sure, all those years of whining tree huggers saying don't do controlled burns & what do you get - Brush Fires; MASSIVE Brush Fires.
For the record I don't think the govt. should have bought out all those towns that were wiped out from flooding on the Mississippi either, you live in a flood zone - you get flooded.
Enough bad things are going to happen without inviting it & expecting everyone else to feel for your plight & fix you back up again. I have no pity at all for any of you if you get whats coming & you know it's coming! It's not a question of if, it's when.
And Nash, I could care less how far gone you think I am. I see your still trying to link my views to racism, when the racist is Ray Nagin. I don't like stupid people; black ones, white ones, yellow ones, red ones, gay ones sick ones, just any of them. If your too stupid to survive then DIE, it's natures way of culling the herd & we need the human herd culled in a bad way.
