So japan had a natural diaster. And oh everyone wants to help. I can care less about japans needs and asking for help. Where were the donations for the Katrina victims here in new Orleans. Oh wait there was none! I lost everything to Katrina. House, boat, car,truck, all personal belongings and relative family members. Where was our help. All we were given was a bus ticket to go sleep in a stadium in another state. 3 waters and 3 mre were distributed to mywife, kid and I. When disaster happens to us Americans it's always poor thing them. I hope they all are ok. But when disaster happens to another country let's spend millions on them to help them out. What about using American tax money on Americans. Hell it's our money anyway shouldn't we use it to help ourselves out!

My fathers business was involved with the process of getting MRE's to Katrina victims in NO after the disaster, we only managed to get 2 trucks out before we werent allowed to send more due to excuses like Congestion and lack of organization/planning for where they were going to go. My friend runs his own trucking company and he was trying to send trucks with donated items down but was not allowed due to similar reasons. It was a huge cluster F*(k and the people in charge couldnt get it organized for relief to get there. but then also look on the flip side, (yourself excluded from this) but there are many a story of Katrina victims taking advantage of relief efforts / funding such as buying ridiculous items. They were spending there money on non essentials. Alot of people were faking being katrina victims to get in on the funds too. So, sorry you went through that man, my neighbor fled from there as well and they lost everything including 2 kids. But just dont think that people didnt care or didnt try to help. There is a system in place and thats what failed. So dont let that stop you from trying to help others who could now use the help. |
