My husband, having a 1-ton pickup, ended up delivering FEMA trailers from the Naval Air Station Belle Chase to unimaginable neighborhoods, between 3 to 6 a day usually. At least half of the people he delivered to were lazy, ungrateful, waste-of-skin human beings who whined, griped, and cussed about any number of things. Many apparently able-bodied males would sit around drinking beer while my husband busted his butt to set up a temporary home for their sorry asses.
Overall, he came home knowing he had done good things, but feeling like he had done those things for totally undeserving people. Sad.
I had in-laws living in Pas Christian Mississippi when it hit. In Mississippi it hit with cat 5 winds and destroyed everything in its path. When it hit NO it was less than a cat 2. The storm surge was supposed to be handled by those levees that the state received billions over the years to maintain but the maintenance was mostly on paper with the money going into various political pockets. NO went down not because of hurricane winds but because of a surge of water a day and a half after the real hurricane hit the other states. The surge overwhelmed the levees that the state failed to properly maintain. Most of the affected NO residents were more interested in the handouts and rubes doing the work for them so that they could continue their “right” to live the democrat lifestyle, bought and paid for by taxpayers. If I had lived in LA I would have been glad to help, anywhere but in NO. The myth of Katrina and NO was the typical democrat party BJ.
