I wonder if the majority of the Chicago dead and hospitalized were as grotesquely morbidly obese as many, many living we saw in N.O.?

It doesn't pay to have an extra 200+ 'food stamps' pounds in 90+F heat waves or floods, unless you plan on floating out before you're dead a while.

"Yeah, it generally sucks to be poor. That's why most of us work so hard not to be."

Same is true both in Chicago and New Orleans.

Also pays not to be stupid, but what can you do?
