There are some forces more powerful than the entire ingenuity and drive of humanity........mother nature being the most significant. We have as much chance of stopping, or at least minimizing, storm forces as we did in trying to create new coral reefs using tied together old tires and dumping them in the ocean......which was a very stupid idea to begin with.
preparedness certainly is a positive, however, most people are unable to accept that level of responsibility for themselves, preferring instead to have government do it, and we all know that government has a very ugly history of managing things.
We also have to look at the emotional weakening of the maturity level of humanity. 50 years ago hurricane Ian would have been accepted and then afterwards, the damage and recovery dealt with afterwards like just another serious storm. Nowadays we have the chicken littles of the world/country demanding that people do what they are told or suffer the consequences, that we are too weak and frail to undergo such a massively devastating storm because of climate change........it's almost like they are trying to fear monger and whip up hysteria for a political agenda.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
