Hey, like I said, impeachment is a great idea for a new thread.

scaeagles, I was banging my head against the car window through the entire speech. About 45 seconds of, "Things didn't go the way they should have," followed by a half dozen anectotes of, "The Triumph of Humanity." I would have liked for him to address the days and days of lack of leadership, lack of communication, lack of compassion, and lack of accountability. Instead, we got, "Here's a truckload of money. Workin' hard is gonna be hard work."

My partner and I have been seriously considering moving our business to New Orleans as soon as they are ready to have people back. Eventually, we expect to be able to provide 30-50 jobs, and my product really does seem like it ought to have come from there.

Could the sh!t-stirrers please start another thread or go away? 3 pages of tit-for tat, and "Don't blame my guy, your guy fecked up first," is tiresome. The entire system failed! No-bid contracts have been handed out to the president's allies and cronies. People died because the "right forms" weren't filled out, the "right requests" weren't made, and those who were "rescued" weren't cared for.

Please don't bring up the "busses under water," again, without posting links to a timeline of how those busses were used that day, where the drivers were, your suggestions, based on your knowledge of New Orleans roads and parking facilities, for a better place to park them, how long, exactly, do municipal employees work into a level 5 hurricane before they, themselves, evacuate, and a realistic evaluation of the consequences of recruiting the evacuees to drive the busses (which direction? what routes are clear? where do they stop for gas? how do you care for the elderly and injured? how do you handle the assholes with guns, who, no doubt, would have hijacked the busses?)

Hey, thanks.
