The price gauging thread really got me thinking.
All these people donating money to Houston victims are ultimately hurting them by giving them a handout. They are subsidizing their poor decision making (to live in Houston, a known flood-prone area).
I argue that we should not give to Charity for any tragic event, and instead let the free-market and cost of rebuilding ultimately dictate where people move.
We have a moral obligation to NOT give to charity and instead let the free market sort it out.
So I make a call to all of you. Please DO NOT give money to Hurrican Irma victims or Houston victims. You are just going to make lives worse in the long run.
This also goes with private companies like Anheuser-Bush. We need to boycott them over their charity.
Who's with me? I expect full support from our local libertarians.
