Homesslessness in the US is about a coin flip off for death or suffering, every hour of every day.
Quitting your job or getting fired for insubordination prevents you from collecting unemployment, and most Americans have less than a weeks expenses saved due the the last 60 years of low pay and exponentially rising expenses, causing homelessness if you lose your job.
You might die in a hurricane induced flood, but that risk can seem less than slowly dying while homeless or in prison for being homeless.
I don’t know why people are missing this. If your fucking workplace gets flooded you won’t have a job anyways. If it’s so bad you’re moving parking spots your workplace is toast anyways. Get your ass moving!
Most people don’t understand how dire their situation is when mother nature shows up. Especially immigrants who may have never experienced such weather.

How likely are you actually going to get fired for not showing up one day during a hurricane?
I if the entire staff just didn’t show up that one day they’re probably not all going to get fired.
In hindsight, your job is probably secure now that they are short staffed (which is fucking disgusting).
If flood waters are entering your place of business you’re not going to have a job tomorrow.
