Folks the the nightmare has only just begun!!

[demo dutch]

An entire major American City was evacuated but American governments scimped on protecting it's people!
Think about it no jobs to go to and no homes to go to for millions and that's only in NOLA

1. Yep.. This is going to kick off a depression, which will make it

even harder for the survivors to start over.

2. no shit - with the 2 huge oil tanks leaking

you got it right. we haven't even started stacking the corpses.
god. I am writing blithely about stacking corpses. American boys and girls. What has happened to me?

[SammyBlue]

7. You're saying what will happen plainly and bluntly.

I don't believe you're writing blithely. You're speaking what all of us know and fear.

3. Think about how the econony is going to get killed by gas prices

Hell even me - I'm thinking twice about purchases and travel because I need to make sure I have $35/week to travel to-from work

:cry:

[Blue Belle]

6. I'm very worried...

I just took a job that has me traveling via car a lot. I don't know if I can afford the gas to even get to my work.

Now dare I venture into the on-going oil price mess and drag that's having on the economy? The developing gasoline and fuel-oil shortages? The months it will take for those refineries to get back "online"? The laundry list of the short-term is astounding...and that's not taking into account the toxic mess that now sits underneath all that water in New Orleans.

Last night, someone on WWL Radio asked if they knew the status of the Mississippi south of New Orleans...the area that contains many of the docking facilities. The response was "the southern two parishes no longer exist...it's all part of the Gulf now".

This nightmare has yet to show it's true impact...

5. My favorite bread went up fifty cents this week.

It was $2.99 for a loaf of spelt bread at my store. I went shopping two days ago and it had gone up to $3.49.

It's only the beginning. Batten the hatches, and tighten your belts.

8. the good news is

GMAC is giving them all a 90 day grace period on their car loans!

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Thank god this wasn't a terrorist attack

then not only would we be having all these problems because of the complete failure of the Federal Government to do anything. Bush would be too busy getting ready to turn Iran or Syria into glass to even bother with today's photo op.

12. We are just as un-prepared for that as well, be scared! very scared!

[cthrumatrix]

10. Over 600,000 jobs in New Orleans lost ....go find work in the Bush economy

[demo dutch]

11. NOLA is a major shipping area for the Midwest of agricultural products

not to mention the oil situation etc. etc. etc.
