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!”

All of the above

It’s a very personal issue for me.

I lost everything and had to start over with little more then the clothes on my back, and then to hear people say I should’ve just moved?

It’s more than a callous comment. It is the epitome of victim blaming, and the fact that you are attempting to make apologies for it is telling.

Cable TV providers in the 70s: “No commercials when you pay for our services!”

Cable TV providers in the early 80s: “Ok, we actually meant no commercials on premium channels, but local channels will, and it’s not our fault.”

Cable TV providers in the late 80s: “Fine. What we meant was no commercials on movie channels.”

Cable TV providers in the 90s: “Uhm, so only on-demand shows will be commercial free.”

But that would require me installing epic games.

Nope.
