Please stop the madness!

Insurance companies and FEMA have mitigated their losses by changing the laws governing how much and when they have to pay. It now falls to the victims of these storms to bear the brunt of the losses.

We do almost nothing to address the problem. This is the definition of insanity. We keep doing the same things and expect the problem to go away, or at least pretend it doesn’t exist.
