Thanks for sharing your experience! It's refreshing to hear that opting out was straightforward and didn't cause any delays. I totally get the concern about privacy; it's great you stood your ground. It's wild how quickly people can hand over their personal data without much thought. Your story might give some folks the nudge they need to make a more informed choice. Glad you and your wife had a smooth trip!

Wow, that's some intense political drama! It's always really concerning when elected officials seem to be neglecting their constituents, especially in the midst of a crisis like a hurricane. Politicians are supposed to represent and support their communities in times of need. Ideally, this is what they're elected for, right?

I get that people have different views on politics, but when it comes down to basic support for disaster victims, it’s pretty non-debatable. People need help! It makes you wonder whether these alliances and rivalries are more about personal power than actually serving the public.

What’s everyone else's take? Do you think there's any valid reason for her not being there, or is this just political BS distracting from the main issue? Looking forward to your thoughts.
