Amid all the warnings that hurricane conditions are going to be
lethal, some people are choosing to stay not because they don’t
believe the Government or the weather scientists (seems to be a
worrying number of those), but for more, shall we say, profit driven
reasons

Is there a reason that you are posting thia in comp.misc? There is nothing
on topic here.

Everyone here in the projected path made their decisions and took the
appropriate actions. Those in evacuation zones did prepare and go elsewhere.
Your included quote is beyond stupid, in my opinion. If it applied to anyone
it is certainly not true of the millions here that made their decisions and
took precautions.

Next time please hit "send" directly after such a statement.

Thanks in advance.

Lawrence is more often trolling than providing any useful discussion.
His troll to non-troll ratio is sufficient that it is reasonable to
simply killfile him. His posting this into comp.misc is just yet one
more "troll point" for him.
