Jesse talks about these people 'rebuilding their houses'. I'd be curious just how many of those people who are being evacuated actually OWNED their homes as opposed to renting. The poorest folks were likely living in the projects or renting, they didn't own anything that they would need to rebuild. Frankly if they were living in the projects, this outpouring of help might be just what they need to break that cycle and make a new start.
Well said Suzie!
Perhaps some may come to the realization that self determination is a much faster route to prominence than the direction given by a bureaucracy.
