Cool...

This one goes out to all the small government, privacy loving, Republicans out there, supposedly hating invasive big brother tactics and representing the values of the American heartland.

Would be much appreciated if you could have a word with your people about this.

Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

As someone who lives in Hurricane Alley, have you tried just not living where earthquakes happen?

That seems to be the standard response of those in California when a hurricane hits my area...

You won't have much of a choice when FEMA is gone. I mean, less and less people will have homes there anymore.

Right, because nobody lived here prior to the existence of FEMA.

I, for the life of me, cannot understand how people can look at the history of what our, and most other governments have done, and then say, "Hey, you know what? We need more of that!"

Yeah, it's not like there's a reason fewer and fewer insurance companies will write a policy in that state every year. It's not like the property insurance rates are the highest in the country.
