By suggesting adequate anti flooding measures are installed seems to me to be just the opposite of your view. I take no pleasure in seeing people suffer. If the shortcomings of the local politicians are not pointed out by someone they are much more likely to continue. Right ? The hurricanes won't be stopping. The next one will be along soon enough.You are big on scouting for and rooting for more suffering for Americans. As a lib, you can spot deficiencies from the UK but would not actually be capable of doing any real work to help out in a difficult situation.
The UK has had its share of flooding. Keep that in mind - especially since you are living in your mom's basement. Not a good combination.
