Crazy anti-government people spout off crazy ideas on disaster responses.

[from a Facebook post]

Crazy anti-government people spout off crazy ideas on disaster responses:  “Fox Business host John Stossel on Sunday asserted that most government was unnecessary because companies like Walmart would spontaneously provide assistance to disaster victims “in many more ways” than the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) could.

But there’s something to what Stossel says; check into the writings of Rebecca Solnit and Daniel P. Aldrich.

Social capital (the bonds of people within a community) is the key driver to recovery from disasters, not governments.

(Governments actually help GENERATE disasters, by creating and feeding crony capital corporations, as well as feeding legions of unaccountable bureaucrats and politicians.)
