    Even when a life-threatening hurricane is headed your way, there are many reasons why you might stay put. You might have dependent family members who can’t leave due to disabilities or other health-related reasons; you might not have reliable transportation to get to a safer area, and what’s more, no gas to get there. Sometimes, you simply refuse to leave your home and everything you own behind.

    Another example of capitalism treating humans as refuse. Disparingly, and rather predictably, this immiseration is being used to propagate further anti-immigrant sentiment (and inevitably violence if not already happened).
