Another question: where are the freeper yahoos mocking and scorning the flood victims for living in a flood zone?
I wasn’t aware that there were any. Who could possibly fault people who live in their area for years...I say it’s the politicians’ and the bureacrats’ fault...and only ours partially if we are dumb enough to trust them.
There were plenty after Katrina. The difference being that our flood insurance payouts (the NFIP participation rate in New Orleans is the highest in the country) were repeatedly characterised on this board as government handouts to greedy crybabies.
I don't begrudge a dime of the aid headed to the flood victims upriver from us, but don't expect to hear about the NFIP paying off on many flood policies.
