    Ever been to a hurricane party? Basically get a bunch of friends, alcohol, food and lock yourselves in a secure building.

    Highly recommended.

    You can afford it.

    You buckle in and ride it out. Maybe you drown or get crushed when your place collapses around you. Maybe you don't. I for one am getting PTSD from going through this every 2 weeks.

    Then don’t live somewhere that gets hurricanes?

      Houston TX, Asheville NC ? Any ideas for solving poverty in Louisiana so the people who are there can afford to leave?

        What's affording to leave? A $50 bus ticket to anywhere else? Plenty of places give those away for free to avoid dealing with homeless people

          When someone says "I can't afford to leave" they're rarely talking about the transport specifically, don't be so obtuse.

          Where will they go after that and afford food, water, etc after this proverbial bus trip?

      It being a proxy war against Russia justifies USA spending $ more than if it was an isolated regional conflict.

      $ is cheaper than US warfighter lives. Spending $ is worth it if it helps the west win while the war is still just a proxy war.
