Anyone remember the $2K debit cards that were given to the “victims” of Hurricane Katrina? Reports were that many of them were used to purchase Louis Vuitton handbags and lap dances at strip clubs.

Those cards were rather open ended weren't they.

Now, let's say you are on the Mississippi Gulf coast after Katrina and about the only thing left is a casino/boat up on the shore. Coast Guard makes them use metal superstructure ~

Should the emergency cards be prohibited from use in the casino?

Actually, the question is preposterous since no one had electricity ~ so those cards aren't going to work.

I remember distinctly...hey...they had to purchase "necessities", didn't they? /s
