I share that sentiment.
What also makes me mad, is the thought of my tax dollars being spent in the coming years to rebuild the whole community
below sea level and in the river flood plains again!
I'm also sick and tired of the economically illiterate politicians and reporters complaining about "price gouging."
What is so hard about understanding the laws of supply and demand?
Why can't people see that by allowing prices for needed goods to sky-rocket, a flood of goods will come rushing into their communities?
There are plenty of generators, tents, tarps, bottled water, gasoline, etc. right here, just a long day's drive away from the disaster area, but nobody is making a move to transport it where it's needed. Why not? Because people run the risk of being arrested for "price gouging" if they try to recoup their extra-ordinary expenses (and make a profit) in delivering and selling what is needed where it's needed!
I've gotten to the point where I really don't have much sympathy when people behave so stupidly.
Flame away...
