  • I work in a nursing home in New Orleans.  I found out that some of our residents got checks from FEMA today for $10,300.00
  • Derek got a call last week to see if we were ready for our FEMA trailer.  (For those of you that don't know, our house was not damaged for Katrina.)

I just love the way our federal agencies operate!

I love it.  First they are idiots because they aren't doing enough.  Now they are offering something (regardless if it is needed or not) and they are idiots for offering it.  Something else you'd like to criticize?

Yours truly,

A program manager who continually deals with people who like to do nothing but complain, yet never offer a solution.

No they are idiots because they are not paying attention to the situation. They are operating by beaureaucratic rote that has no basis in the reality of the situation. It's the same thing as Brownie going on CNN and denying that there were people in the convention center.

You have to wonder if they notice the whooshing sound as things blow righjt past them. Given that a freaking hurricane snuck up on them I think not.

You misunderstand my point.  I am not defending their idiocy.  I'm attacking the critics.  Nothing better than listening to a rant and following it with "So what is your solution?" and listening to the chirping of the crickets that follows.  And on the rare occasion that someone has an idea, following with "So what have you done about it?".  Never heard anyone say anything other than "Nothing".

Gotcha,

I work in IT, so I really, really understand the

if solution/part = false
else problem/part=true

issue

Though in this instance, the suggestions as to what to do are pretty clear (send money to the right people).  The depressing thing is that even now, with the benefit of hindsight these clowns are still looing like they're about a taco short of a combo plate.

What's even better are people who are detached from the situation who anonymously attack others on the internet.  You want a solution.  Ask before you make an *** of yourself.  More than a few of us would be quite willing to offer a solution.

Sincerely,

The husband of the person you were an *** to for no reason.  Grow up.

what position are they in to do anything? walk up the big fema building, hand them the trailer with a note that says:

ATTN: GUY THAT DISTRIBUTES THINGS
YOU GAVE US A TRAILER, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET MONEY
I PROPOSE AS A SOLUTION THAT YOU NO LONGER MAKE MISTAKES
LOVE,
[your name here]

i mean thats like driving through mcdonalds and realizing after you got home that you had no fries that you ordered. if you were to look at me and (dare i say it) complain about obviously getting wronged i wouldn't look at you and say "STOP BITCHING AND COME UP IWTH A SOLUTION" because there is nothing left to do in the situation. you have been shafted.
