    It’s shitfunny because this is a perfect opportunity for apps like this to play into Capitalism and succeed twentyfold.

    Open up the app to everyone for free during the hurricane, remove that after hurricane. So many people will go:

    • “OMG this app is useful, I’m paying”
    • “OMG that company is so kind, I’m paying”
    • “OMG I didn’t even know about this but people spread the word, I’m paying!”

    So many opportunities for longer-term profits missed by idiocy.
