Perfect illustration of why the poor are poor. They manage to piss everybody off who is in a position to help them.
I missed the interview, so I could use some help. Did the guy say where I could send him the $20,000?
Ding, ding, ding!! Doesn't matter what you do for some people - ungrateful, lazy, gimme attitudes. He looked healthy; let him join the military and give back for once.
And while I'm ticked off - what was up with that interview w/the lady w/7 kids? I was doing something else and didn't see her face, but she sounded relatively young. What the heck is she doing w/7 kids? And of course I didn't hear a father's name mentioned once.
Not all of these people are criminals, but for those who don't want to go back to NO, I wonder what they can contribute to their new communities? I don't see much.
The guy who owns the salon were my wife gets her nails done is Vietnamese. He told her there was a substantial Vietnamese community in the NO area. He personally had several family members there.
He was proud of several "facts" that he repeated.
1. There was no looting or lawlessness after the flood in the Vietnamese section, they policed it themselves.
2. All of the community had been evacuated and family members took them in - no shelters.
3. Most of them have already found work or opened new business in the city they moved to.
4. Quote: "We don't want no government handout".
Don't know how much of this is hard fact or purely anecdotal conjecture but he was extremely animated and convincing.
