Apparently you are as illiterate as Dr Marten.

There were interviews of the Tourists who were left behind by Hyatt and Hilton who had no transport, the hotel workers abandoned them. They paid 30K for busses to evacuate themselves and the busses were taken by NOLA officials and FEMA to evacuate others.

They paid for their own evacuation. Damn straight they should be first.

Dr Marten is posting from China and must not be reading the threads or have access to anything but the MSM.

I know all about the 25k for the buses. I don't care, tourists, particularly foreign tourists get priority, period.

An aside, foreign nationals have been treated very well in China (before communists took over) by the Chinese during disasters, the Chinese understand the rules of civilized behavior very well. Dr. Martin should read a little of his own nations pre commie history.

Yep - I think they were bumped ahead to make up for the fact that the buses they paid for earlier were seized.
