well..i filed a claim last night...

went to the FEMA site and honestly answered all the questions; yes- i did lose power for five or more consecutive days....yes- i did suffer damage to my house/property....yes- i did incur out of pocket costs do to the storm...no- i did not incur medical expenses from the storm (i had a 101-fever last weekend but had missed so much work i took a bunch of aspirin and sucked it up)....

this morning i get a recorded message from FEMA; i am eligible to stay in a hotel!!! i can stay in a hotel, at FEMA (aka the taxpayers) expense for up to a week with a family of four!!! the hotel has already been notified!!!

granted- i don’t need a hotel nor will i be staying at one but good to see they make broad generalizations and start handing out taxpayer benefits....

I know you are going to feel dirty doing it but you must.

This is the way it is now.

Either the system collapses under it's own weight.

Or, we unlearn everything we have learned and relearn how to prosper in their system.
