How is it they spent all that time before making real rescue moves

[bribri16]

without planning for how to help the areas (Houston, Baton Rouge etc,) that are taking in the evacuees? This just blows my mind. Why haven't they set up camps at military bases, on some of those 1500 acre "ranches" owned by those who received the huge tax cuts. Where is eminent domain when you need it?

See, they create reality. The rest of us just live (and die) in it.
