Being poor does not mean being stupid  |
2000 poor people couldn't pool their money together to rent a house 4 times a year just in case. These are people living check to check, I guess you have no concept of what that means. The last storm hit at the end of the month, that means thousands of people had NO MONEY. I don't mean a few bucks laying around and room on the credit cards, I mean NO MONEY.
My main point was that, whoever you are, you're not going to go through all the overkill shit you mentioned 4 times a year every year. That's how often people who live in places like this get hurricane warnings, they happen ever year. And if you don't have a dollar to your name, you're fucked no matter how smart you are.
