i was talking to my brother in law about all this the other night...and it strikes me as hollow that whole, 'ahh, the poor could have gotten out if they really wanted to....
really?
how?fare for the bus?..what if they don't have enough cash..should they just walk out of town..with a fucking hurricane on the way?
where are they supposed to sleep?...motels, even the cheapest cost money...money they dont' have...and you can't sleep outside during a hurricane..
so what do you do?...you stay home, batton down the hatches and pray that you can ride it out...and that someone will help you if you cant...
so they did.
and they were really incredibly wrong..
no one was able to help much..
atleast not when it counted..

I think the FEMA director is playing the dumby card right now. They all know how bad they f*cked up this situation. For christ sake its been the 2nd mostly likely natural disaster to occur for over 20 years. In this country you can bet there will be some serious lawsuits involved...

Yeah, I wudda' let you punch me a few times but not in the package, but then you'd have to give me a BBQ dog with cheese and relish.
But on one level you know I've got a point. It's just not nice in the face of death. Now if no one were dying and it was just a disaster area, which is impossible with desperate humanoids, I'd sound a lot better. You know the whole poor planning thing.

Word to the Mayor and thanks for the stream Simon Crouwel.
- Crouwel0
cheers, wrist.
it's bizarre to see how fema fails to coordinate logistics and shit and right now the UN is stepping in to help what has been called a 3rd world like region.
too bad bush gets bypassed by the UN now, he didn't like the UN from the start, no?

jazx - do you know how much a bus ticket costs when you haven't booked a week in advance?
about 90 bucks.
that ain't cheap for most of those folks.
*kicks jaz in the package
- Crouwel0

Hey JazX, what about people in hospitals and old folks homes. Surely they should have been evacuated by someone other than themselves, no?
- garettwest0
I don't think anyone knew just how bad this was going to be. 20,000 national guard as of yesterday to help, but hell, you have to think that most of the people who stayed behind, only stayed behind to loot the city blind all 20,000 of them can't focus on the evacuation problem with the city is being robbed as it is.

let them eat cake!
- JazX0
f*ck that. If I know a Class 4 to Class 5 hurricane is coming. I get my sh*t and leave. 90 bucks my @ss. Greyhound is 45 bucks from here to NYC and that's NE prices. You got trains, boats, planes, etc. If you want to leave get out.
Old folks and mentally ill, handicapped is another story. I feel for them but able bodied people. Come on man?
I'm sure hospitals did their best.
So ok, bright minds of NT, what would you have done then? I'd be interested to know? If you were Mayor or head of FEMA? Go on tell me...
