Sad, isn’t it? I grew up in hurricane country. We FED volunteers when they came to help us. Seems common sense that in times of crisis, there is no competition, only colleagues.
Remember driving from Huntsville, Al to Franklin, Ky to get a generator after the terrible tornado outbreak from a couple of years ago. Passed truck after truck after truck going the other direction to help get Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee put back together. It was an exciting sight.
Damned Jersey union thugs.
