      As I said, it is noted that when you are dying in a natural disaster, you will not want any government aid.

      Unless you think you’re the exception from this collective fate.

          I would say that most people would be more empathic and sensible than to take joy in the idea of a huge amount of death since most people don’t think that there should be massive amounts of death. In fact, I would wager that most people don’t think that death is deserved in almost any case.

          But even if they do think there’s a lot of reasons people deserve to die, most of them don’t, as you do, relish the idea of possibly millions of people dying in a disaster when those deaths could be prevented.
