Grid Hurricane
Why is our government so lousy in responding to disasters?
We all know the five-day wait period following Katrina, where a million or so people went without food and water, while our governmental agencies sat idle. We also know about Hurricane Rita, where the people of Houston, told to evacuate, ended up stalled on the highway because no gas was provided for the exodus. When the lights went out across the Eastern seaboard and portions of the Midwest, it took three days for them to correct the problem and, as yet, no real repairs or replacements have been made to our Energy grid.
Why is our government, which formerly prided itself on its quick responses, so slow and inept when it comes to recent disasters? Following Katrina, hundreds of volunteers, willing to help, were turned back by FEMA, including a van filled with doctors and medication. If we disallow volunteer help, and our governmental agencies are incapable, why are we paying so dearly for their existence? Is there any excuse for their slow response to national disasters?
Following massive flooding in China two years ago that destroyed thousands of homes, China set a goal of replacing them by February of this year. These were typical brick and mortar homes. China met that goal.
While Katrina was destroying New Orleans, Condi Rice was buying shoes and the rest of the administration sat around with their collective thumbs stuck up, you know where.
I think that is very, very sad.
Why anyone still supports the administration in the aftermath of this huge disaster, and how its been handled since, is criminally insane.
I’m really not kidding.
=============
Recently China evacuated 1 million people prior to a typhoon hitting. China seems to set goals, makes them happen, then in the aftermath gets things done. Why all the excuses people? What is our government here for? To protect the people. Why is our government failing at that? Perhaps because war is big business and people are not?
