    How many times in your life have you been without a meal for an entire day because you couldn’t afford one? Ever been without a place to live?

      If you don’t leave the building you will not be having any more meals ever again.

      I would rather risk homelessness and starvation rather than drowning. If the water around the place I am is rising I am going to get to safety. Full stop. No job is worth risking my life for.

      I understand what you’re saying, but at the end of the day if you are dead, nothing else matters.

      Yes and yes. And now I don’t rely on untrustworthy businesses for my paycheque. It’s not worth the risk.

      I could go without for a day… but if I had dependents, I’d be worried for not just the day, but every day after that too

      Good luck fighting my unemployment when I tell them I got fired for keeping myself safe in a natural disaster.
