Eh...

Probably not...

but a lot of them die also... and so... we have nature's population control thinning the herd.
Perhaps they'll continue to test fate and we can be rid of all the ignorant folks for good.


:SIGH: probably not though...

You do realize that the government already charges for many or types of rescues, right? This isn’t anything new. You’re also sensationalizing how the process would go. It’s all civil, and if the fee isn’t paid then they go to civil court. It certainly doesn’t have to be criminal. A lot of county ordinances are civil penalties, and those tickets you get from traffic cameras too. This isn’t as cruel, difficult, and uncommon as you’re making it.

C'mon now, they've been overpromoting these storms for ratings since Andrew.

While many of them are seriously dangerous. I know every single storm that comes through the Gulf of Mexico is deemed the next big one by all local stations.
It drives local economy.... It's crazy how many people run to the gas stations, empty the shelves of all the bottled water and beef jerky... and then when the storm isn't that bad... they use the goods up instead of saving and storing in case of the next one.

Rinse. Repeat.
