First and foremost, absolutely fuck fiscal austerity and laissez-faire, there is nothing natural about this, only consequence of shit political choices, such as scraping environment disaster prevention, basically no relief efford funding, global warming denial and shredding of environment protection laws.
The real and original definition of Capitalism is government by the property owning class contrary to the current Pax Americana redefinition in paper to mean minimal government intervention that provides fake definition of Capitalism in real life. I will presume that the governor of Rio Grande is one of the authoritarian Capitalist government that depends on rigged election and support from British diaspora, and that the governor extracted tax, properties, land, and support from the victims of the flood through dishonest means and refuse to bear accountability that comes with authority.
an update to you, since u talked about extracting taxes and land.
the governor of the state published a monetary fund account for peoples donation, turns out that this fund isn't governmental, it is a private fund made my banks to fucking steal money from people trying to help the affected by the rains.
i get why lenin died of multiple strokes, it is impossible to be a fucking human being without getting stressed as fuck.
