    I’m not passing judgement on good or bad, I’m asking “Isn’t that how it always is?”

    If you send rescue workers into the middle of a violent storm, then you have to rescue the rescue workers.

      No, it isn’t how it is. Obama signed emergency declarations for Sandy before the storm even landed. Katrina was the biggest emergency fuck up in American history and its telling that you’re pointing to that as your sense of normal.

      People die all the time, just look at 9/11!
