[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jomama: [QB] Sorry.. not blame... accountability.. and I said "administration" not one man.. but that one man has chosen to surround himself with a bunch of ideological "yes" men.. (with a few exceptions) hence the group think mentality, instead of challenging his ideology by pushing for diversity within his admin.. The few token "fringe" thinkers that have been brought in.. have since left.. Christine Todd Whitman & Powell to name a few... But yes.. I think he's a failure... I wont even start the thread.. but he broke my final straw a few weeks ago when he came out and openly admitted he doenst have the foggiest idea how to distinguish between Legit Science and matters of faith (see all the I.D. nonsense.. the continuing dumbing down of 'Merica :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ) 23% of the population lived below the poverty level... Thats a staggering percentage.. the poorest of the poor.. As I believe the mayor put it.. we failed those in need who needed it most... Imagine it being August 24th.. You have your rent money.. say $600.. $1000 if your lucky.. and this comes along... They're not foreign to hurricanes.. they know the risks.. but they've survived them before.. Your not talking about the most intellectually astute demographic either.... So do you risk that money.. do you drive 200 miles inland.. (to where?) assuming you have a vehicle to make the trip.. and blow your rent on a hotel for a few days.. and what.. wait it out... then what.. if your wrong.. no rent... I'm not making excuses.. just some perspective....everyone lives beyond their means in some situs.. we're all guilty of it... Yes.. the Mayor and Gov should of stepped up and done more as the final hours came closer.. but without massive Aid from the Fed level... a state like this just doesnt have the resources to handle a evac of this magnitude.. much less the aftermath.... And the reality is.. (see my links) because this was KNOWN to be one of the biggest potential disasters that could happen here..I put more responsibility on the Fed level than the state and local.. And now we have our own palistine (meaning approx 1million refugees).. and what will the long term effects be here...??? Its not like the majority of the displaced are skilled workers.. who can compete in other cities job markets.. their the poorest of the poor...those that can move on will.. those that could avoid the storm did for the most part... I think there will be long term consequences that just cant be visualized yet... [/QB][/QUOTE]
