Direct quote from your ‘lamentation’: My theory is these lazy, inconsiderate dolts are the same people who live paycheck to paycheck, carry credit card balances, fail to save for their future and who will not be helped by a budget.
Thanks for your thoughts. First time poster. After the craziness of 9/11 and covid here in NYC, I put together a ‘go to’ bag with $200 cash, copies of birth certificate, passport, driver’s license, flashlight with xtra batteries, change of clothes, foil blanket, plastic rain poncho, wind up radio that can act as solar charger for the phone. At the last minute, I’d also grab my phone, meds and dog. I am open to suggestions for additional items but am limited to what I can carry.
Important docs and photos are in the cloud, so unless the intrnet dies, they will be preserved no matter what happens to my home

A little bit curmudgeonly are we? I cannot disagree more. Thoughtlessness crosses all economic tiers.
