I posted this earlier today after reading about this idiocy............”Hate to laugh, but I called it earlier today when the liberal idiots in charge in NY and DC decided it would be a good idea to announce they were giving away FREE gas. Not charging for gas will do more harm than good because everyone will try to get free gas, whether they have a use for it or not. Some will get the gas and resell it, some will get the gas even if they don’t need it, and the net result will be those who need it most will get screwed. “

Exactly, additionally it encourages the entitled to demand free gas everywhere as well.

And some will put gas in bleach bottles and blow themselves up. Yikes! It’s freeeeee! Gimme sum!

This is going to last a long time, too. It’s going to look like a zombie movie in about three weeks. The longer it takes to dry out the businesses and residences, the more mold and stink is going to invade. Flooded heaters and wring have to be repaired or replaced or you are going to have a lot of fires when the electric comes back. No sewers... People are going to become ill. Weak people (the young and the old) will go fast.

To top it off, you have union thugs chasing away restoration workers from outside their turf, if they don’t cough up some protection money (union dues). The recovery will not happen with this selfish, immoral mentality and culture dominating the city.

In addition, you have entitled, envious minded people who are nuts and make it dangerous to work in certain areas. Check out any Obama rally to see the insane mentality that will tip itself over into ravishing insanity.

Interesting that the hispanic guy who was mentioned in the article, was the one worker who needed gas to continue his service of pumping out flooded houses. ofcourse, the selfish man who “helped’ him out had to cut into the gas he needed for vital, life saving work. In Texas after the Ike flooding and wind damage, it was white and hispanic men who worked their fannies off and saved the day. The supervisors of crews knew what to do from experience and the crews worked HARD and long hours for people.

Woe to New York.
