It's not that it should it's that it does. cmon.  

name one natural disaster recovery effort where the "tap got turned off". 

NEVER. 

HAPPENED. 

Is the Katrina faucet dripping or closed now?

haha, well seeing as how that was 12 years ago, i'd say that's a hilarious example. of course eventually funds stop diverting to these disasters, but you are suggesting that funding for PR is going to dry up in 2 weeks after it happened, which is preposterous. 

all you are doing is backpeddling because you didn't know it was a US territory. 

I am not backpeddling.  12yrs or 2wks no matter, eventually it will run out. It depends on how fast and where you spend it.

Well, I actually 100% support a complete ban of cars that require drivers too, if we're getting deep into the subject. The sooner driverless cars are the only option, the better. That will cure society of 99% of all traffic woes and accidents. However, I think your arguments for cars going way faster than any speed limit are a bit crazy. There is NO justification for weaving in and out of traffic or tailgating. That is ALWAYS dangerous driving behaviour, and really the only thing that justifies it is impatience. I agree driving habits are the main cause of traffic jams... fast drivers and slow drivers alike have those habits though, so that is besides the point. Driverless cars all the way! SO much safer and SO much more efficient. But only if everyone is using them. Someday it will become law... if society doesn't collapse and go to shit first.

so you never change lanes?

anyway i don't see a time where driverless cars will ever be a norm.  too many variables and decisions have to come into play when driving for all decisions to be allowed to be made by the car.  for example you are driving down the block and a child runs into the street to retrieve a ball. too many factors to take into account do decide the course of action in that case.  stop, swerve left, swerve right? the variables for those 3 decisions are too numerous to mention. without human thought and instinct at the moment what decision is to be made? you can't program  that for every possibility of what is left ,right and behind you.

as for Trump he thinks because people desperate for supplies who reach out to take them from him are doing it out of love?  ok Donny that's why they are taking that from you.  letting him out in public is a hazard to this country.

Machines will make these decisions much faster and better than humans.  They can process information regarding those types of things so much quicker.  Angle, speed, etc. will tell it exactly what to do.  You can program that, very easily.

child runs in front of you car, married couple walking with their dog to the left, old couple doing gardening to your right, 18-wheeler behind you.  someone is going to die.  who decides and who programs which life is most valuable in that instant?

I think the delivery of how President Trump told Puerto Rico about money running out could have used a better delivery but it's the truth.  The US can't be an endless cash fountain all the time for everything.  The govt can only provide so much to other countries before it feels the strain on money designated for it's citizens. Other than that I think he has moved on so to speak to the other tragedy.  

Latest tweet folks......

Leaving Puerto Rico now for D.C. Will be in Las Vegas early tomorrow to pay my respects. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers.

"Every death is a horror," Trump said, "but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina and you look at the tremendous -- hundreds and hundreds of people that died -- and you look at what happened here with, really, a storm that was just totally overpowering ... no one has ever seen anything like this."

Of course what he forgets is that people in Puerto Rico probably really don't need to hear that right now.  They're too busy trying to find potable water or not die of some disease. Did D.T. mention that or even think about it?  No!
Jeez...
