tornadoes, fires, etc can come out of nowhere, with next to no warning, or no warning. and yet we put time, money, effort into learning how to better track storms...and for what?
so that dumbasses are on their roof.
so that dumbasses send dumbasses that work for them to the scene to report, because god knows we haven't gotten enough footage over the years to understand that hey, waves get high, and trees whip around. amazing!
and then there are the untold dumbasses who put their hands out after because 'ah ain't got none of dat der inshoorance. hoooz gonna pay'?

Especially with your clever attempted use of some type of "common folk talk" that apparently is supposed to reflect your blanket opinion of everybody who is uninsured? Which is a different concern, entirely.
