Forewarned that a momentous (force 5) hurricane was going to hit that city and surrounding areas, what did officials do? They played the free market.They announced that everyone should evacuate. Everyone was expected to devise their own way out of the disaster area by private means, just like people do when disaster hits free-market Third World countries.
Hell, even in freshman economics it was obvious that Smith's "invisible hand" of the market was a political construct and a suspect one at that.
Or how about this one: 'a rising tide lifts all boats'? I'll let you write your own caption for that one.
