Brucie, there were many, many people who WANTED to leave but they had no way to do it. They ARE TOO POOR.

I don't understand why this is so difficult for people to absorb.

There really are people in this world, even in the United States of America, right now in the 21st century, as difficult as this is to believe, who are too poor to be able to afford their own transportation for the purpose of evacuating.

This is the truth. People need to allow this truth to sink in and stop judging the ones who were left behind simply BECAUSE NOBODY GAVE ENOUGH OF A SHIT ABOUT THEM TO INCLUDE THEM IN THE EMERGENCY PREPARATIONS.
