I would rather risk homelessness and starvation rather than drowning. If the water around the place I am is rising I am going to get to safety. Full stop. No job is worth risking my life for.
I understand what you’re saying, but at the end of the day if you are dead, nothing else matters.
How many times in your life have you been without a meal for an entire day because you couldn’t afford one? Ever been without a place to live?
If you don’t leave the building you will not be having any more meals ever again.
Good news! You also don’t need to worry about rent!
More times than I can die that’s for sure.

You’d be without many meals if you died in a flood.

Have you ever been dead? Your argument sounds exactly like my question.
Yes and yes. And now I don’t rely on untrustworthy businesses for my paycheque. It’s not worth the risk.
Good luck fighting my unemployment when I tell them I got fired for keeping myself safe in a natural disaster.
Most of them were probably more worried about missing the day of pay.
I could go without for a day… but if I had dependents, I’d be worried for not just the day, but every day after that too
Yeah, and you might get fired and miss rent, daycare, car payment.
None of those worries now though.
Hindsight is something something.
