People with no insurance and mortgages get all sorts of FEMA help.
People who paid off their mortgage early and carried insurance get none.

Our goverment rewards irresponsible behavior.

Wish people would learn how to drive on country roads! Just because the road is littered with potholes does not give you permission to drive on the wrong side of the road around a blind bend. You will meet another car going in the opposite direction and cause it to swerve to avoid you!

Amen ....


and the fact that said road has a max speed limit of (say) 60 mph doesn't mean it has to be tackled at that speed, especially with blind bends and hills and farm vehicles ....

They marketed for Winston. Much in the way that Joe Camel was a recognizable figure to many kids in the 80s for Camel cigarettes. The Flintstones also marketed for Welch's grape jelly.

Agree with you although people who do 30 in a 60 when it's completely straight and you have a clear view ahead also annoy me.
