This is some article. Two dozen companies turned away from the job fair due to lack of space?!! What an outpouring of help. Folks are carping on the President's speech live thread about the government aid, but there is so much coming from the public sector, people just need to cool it for a bit and see how it all shakes out.
I heard a similar story last night on the BBC. A decent family getting a new start in San Antonio. They also plan to stay.
Your heart goes out to these people who've lost everything, but I think many of them are having their eyes opened to the way it's possible to live in America.
To you Texans, everything I'm reading/hearing/seeing on TV makes me admire you guys more and more. What a state! What people!
Thanks.
Our folks value good honest citizens who work hard and play hard. Also, as of 1 September 2005, you can have a loaded pistol in your vehicle...
Those live TV event threads are only fun when one is drinking a great deal. Otherwise, there's too much carping such as you mention.
