***Sounds like something out of “Night of the Living Dead”! ***
Sounds like something my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents used to do!
I had to do it in an ice storm a few years ago.
Life on the Gov’t plantation.
Sounds like something out of “Night of the Living Dead”!
Sure does!
Waiting for the Nanny Van or Soylent Green Wagons to show up??
I was thinking “Aliens” - “They come out at night..mostly.”
Horse hockey. Stores don't throw out canned/bottled soda or beer. The main purpose of jerky is it has a long shelf life so something isn't right with her story.
Count their blessings they have a roof over their heads, water from somewhere and a nice warm oven. That's just mere inconvenience, not dire straights. As for throwing out rotting food in the fridge, didn't we hear an hour after the storm passed that they were starving because they were on welfare? Again, someone is telling tall tales. When you know the power is going to go off you prepare. You fill every container you can find with water. You cook up the raw meat before the power goes out. A cold meat sandwich is easier to handle the next day than raw meat. Then you start baking cookies and cakes which use up milk and eggs and don't need to be refrigerated. You stuff everything but the produce into the freezer and if there is space, you fill that space with small containers of water that will freeze and help keep the temp cool. You do the laundry so you start out with clean sheets and clothes. You mop and clean the bathroom and kitchen so those are sanitized because they won't be after a few days (yes, you take your chances you're not flooded and if the dice are on your side then you're ahead of the game). Then you take a bath and wash your hair so you don't start out dirty. None of that would have cost these people a dime.
Some vented their anger despite the presence of volunteers who showed up with ice, water and food
You do NOT bite the hand that feeds you. You say thank you and ask if you can help them.
What's worse than these whiners is our enemies are taking notes.
Cities are inherently dangerous places. In an emergency you can become trapped inside with no way out.
I never had that problem living in Appalachian NC. It may be a mile or so to the nearest neighbor, but you’re not easily caught in a situation where you cannot leave.
When the power went out for a week or so, we used lanterns and a woodstove. We kept enough homecanned food on hand to do us a few weeks.
Didn’t Obama fix FEMA? This sounds like New Orleans and Katrina.
After reading this article and a couple of linked articles, I can’t see how Bloomberg is going to justify not calling in the National Guard. In addition to providing security, food, and water, it sounds like a lot of those old people there need transport to someplace they can get medical care. How could a mayor abandoned his people to these conditions? What a useless sack of crap.
And all the law-abiding citizens are unarmed...
Sounds like a scene from a British scifi movie I saw on cable last night, “Attack on (the) Block” about supersized “Critters” from space attacking people in a highrise, defended by kids with guts and some interesting weapons.
Problem is, Bloomturd’s NYC is REAL and the only invaders are the criminals, homegrown, fed, subsidized and unchallenged.
One of the best lesson’s to NYC for a rational gun-owning law.
And the gun laws in NYC ensure only the bad guys will be armed. Even if you can leaglly carry, I believe you’re supposed to have a trigger lock installed in city limits.
Bloomberg should approve hazard pay...
