I don't doubt your assertion. But the economists have jobs. They have a different perspective, I'm sure. The (point of) view is different with a different life situation.

Which is basically what you and Jefferson are advocating for evacuees - a different life situation. And that's fine. My thought is that encouragement works better than criticism.
