@naan What an awful thing to go through as an 8 year old:( Sorry you had to deal with all that. Couldn’t have been easy.

As far as the government help goes, we should help those that most need it. But those hard cut offs are just cruel. It means someone who happens to have marginally more get screwed over, which isn’t right either. They can end up with even less than the poor that way.

Imho a “sliding scale” if you will, would be more fair. To lift up everyone to the same level if that makes sense. Disasters like this hits damn hard for anyone who isn’t crazy rich. (Hope the explaination makes sense!)

Didn’t grow up with natural disasters so they truly terrify me. Feel bad for anyone affected.

Take care!
