I was listening to the local cleveland talk show.. and they had a woman call in who lived down in Florida. Her house was completely wiped out by the first of 3 hurricanes.... so the gov't gave her a trailor to live in by the coast.
Word comes in that ANOTHER hurricane is coming... so she calls the agency and says she's going to move the trailor to higher ground. She is told that if she moved the trailor, she would be ARRESTED and put in jail.. because its "government property".... so she asks "so you'd rather just waste a trailor and buy me a NEW one instead of saving this one?"... they said that's all they could do.
How FUCKING STUPID is that scenario??? Common sense thrown RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW. Just an example of how rules and regulations can be so strict and uptight that they can become wasteful.
