That was the problem in New Orleans. How do you come up with a
millions bottles of water in a few hours and then do it again

It's their fault if they run out. All those banker types need our
help!!

I was really referring to the problem with supplying New Orleans after
the storm but I will accept your answer ;-)

Logistics, its all about logistics.

Do you get the winter clothing sent in May or September?

That is why they always say we better expect it to take a week before
we get any meaningful help from the outside world. You can't really
stockpile supplies locally because nobody knows where the storm will
hit until after it does. NOAA guesses are still only 5 days out max.
You also need to stockpile the supplies away from the areas that will
need them. You don't want your warehouse blown up in the storm. It
takes a while to mobilize the transport for this stuff.

And, all of this is the responsibility of the poor who are living
day-to-day. Basically, that's what you're saying.




Well, of course...they're poor. Jesus, after all, said it was ok to
treat the poor like ****.

Oh, wait...that wasn't Jesus...it was the conservatives...including, of
course, the christian conservatives.
