re: This reality is unfortunate, but it is, well, real. Being real, it must be dealt with. It cannot be hollered, hoped, dreamed, prayed, or legislated away. And it means that the welfare of the people whose homes and businesses (not to mention love ones) were destroyed is much lower than it would have been had the tsunamis not hit.

When Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida, Home Depot froze their prices because they felt they were part of the community and were trying to help out their customers and employees. (As far as I know they always do this when a disaster hits).

I suppose there is no room for this sick sentimentality in your ultra-capitalist world, eh John Galt? (Or are you more like the mean banker in It's a Wonderful Life).
