1. GOOD point. (nt)

2. I was talking to someone at work today

about this very subject. School buses, public transportation buses, charter buses. Were any of them used to help evacuate people who did not have transportation?

3. seems to me that no one knows how to do anything

Great Leader knows jack shit, and everyone else is just...not mobilizing at a rate that I would think should be expected...

4. Excellent point! (n/t)

5. Nero didn't play the lyre very well, either.

This may go down as a prime example of what happened after the American Government was privatized, downsized, and cannabalized by rogue intelligence operators, corrupt businessmen and Saudi Princes.

This is the kind of event that starts revolutions!

6. Hmmm let's see

Roughly 80 buses.
Each bus holds 60 (?) people

Thats close to being a ride for 5000 people.

Not bad.

Where are these buses now? Underwater and of no use to anyone anymore?

8. That would require thinking outside of the box, I guess.

10. I asked my SO the same question when we were watching

the evacuation. Why couldn't they use school busses, city busses, PRIVATE busses, anything big enough to hold even a few people to get as many as possible out of the city? The sad motherfucking truth is that most of those left behind are poor black or hispanic people, and to those in charge it wasn't worth all of that time, effort, and money to get them out. It makes me so fucking mad. :grr: :banghead: x( Sorry about all the cussing.
