That was the problem in New Orleans. How do you come up with a

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.



I am just saying it is beyond the capability of any government to show
up in 4 hours (or even 40 hours) with a million bottles of water. That
seemed to be what everyone expected

It is amazing the number of people who are so helpless and want to stay
helpless.

It's called a lack of personal responsibility. The liberals *need* them to be
helpless so they can continue to pretend they're holding out the hand of help.

It's not really the liberals that subscribe to this, it's the
progressives like harry, bonnie, pubic etc.

I make no distinction. 'Progressive' is just a name liberals adopted because
'liberal' leaves a bad taste in the mouths of so many people.

There is a huge difference...

Nope. They're pretty much the same. There are some decent Democrats, but they
don't call themselves liberals or progressives. A 'progressive' is a liberal who
doesn't like the name.
