Default Where is the media coverage?

There are still a lot of parallels. You have an inadequate building
code with houses that were not up to the weather and thousands of
people who ignored the evacuation order.


NOLA was levee failure.
No code protects a house from 8 feet of rushing storm surge.
Get used to it.

They also seemed to ignore the warnings about having several days of
supplies and a hurricane kit with flashlights and other tools they
need. Some guy was selling flashlights for $20.
We also see FEMA still takes over a week to actually do anything of
consequence in spite of white victims, 8 years of reforms and a
democratic president.


Storm came Tuesday. This is Friday. FEMA is all over the place.
Learn to count, Mr Perfect.

Again it is the US military to the rescue, flying in power company
trucks from California (probably to be sure they are union). The navy
is bringing in ships for logistic support and the national guard is
doing what they always do in emergencies, backing up first
responders..


Only crackers believe your anti-union bull**** paranoia.
Prove it.
The Nat Guard always provides help. They are auxiliary cops.
The Navy is doing squat.
20 guys with front end loaders can do more good clearing roads than the
entire Navy, and they'll do it before the Navy gets a single ship
underway. Navy isn't needed.
And it won't matter if the loader drivers are union or not.


But all that you say is logical! The righties here are completely
illogical in their thinking. It's insanity.
