Bill Gates has an honorary degree from Harvard, where he attended as an undergrad. Watts has no such degree, although you could say that he has a BS in BS.

That (bolded above) is true nearly everywhere. The fact remains that it takes a combination of bad planning and bad weather to cause a "disaster" the question is - how should finite resources be allocated between better planning and attempting to control bad weather? They are not mutually exclusive but when finite resources are involved then choices must be made.

It's easy to be critical of one of the most populated and challenged countries in the world, for not modifying it's infrastructure. Even if they had the money, and it was feasible, it probably wouldn't help much, with the kind of rains they've been getting.

OK, so have you decided that the best course of inaction is to say "oh well stuff happens" not much we can do about it? I hope that is not our reponse to Harvey and Irma.

I'm just saying that I am not going to judge them, for any infrastructure or zoning issues. First, I don't think I'm qualified. Secondly, it would be counter-productive. I believe empathy, and perhaps even a donation, are more in order.
