First it was "We can't visit those people to see if they need relief help because

"The road is closed, and we can't walk around the barricade!"
Then we had "Those people had Trump signs, and they're kind of like mad dogs and we were told to not talk to them."
Now,

Throw in the State authorities: bunch of Amish show up and build cabins so people can live in those instead of tents while figuring out housing, to have the State show up and say "Those cabins aren't built to our Code, so get out of them and go back to freezing in tents!"

Government: how would you get screwed without it?
