The media's framing of storms as 'natural disasters' obscures the absurdity of a society that prioritizes profit-driven sprawl over ecological balance, while simultaneously profiting from disaster relief. This inversion reveals how solemnity about 'resilience' masks the deeper failure to address root causes, turning tragedy into spectacle.
