I'm pretty sure it's whatever is cheapest to make. My brother said that once in a blue moon there'll be a piece of chicken mixed in. I told him 'it's the thought that counts'.

A friend who lives in the first building to have its power restored told me that boxes with Thanksgiving dinner makings were left in the lobby last week for the tenants. Each tenant was supposed to take one box. But by the time she made it down from her 4th floor apartment to the lobby, every boxed had been opened and picked through. Some boxes only had toothbrushes left in them.

I would say that in the past, each tenant would have only taken the box left for them and not pilfered the other boxes. But, things changed in 2008 and the change was soolidified in 2012. It is now every man [woman] for themselves and heaven help the hindmost.

‘________every box had been opened and picked thru.’

I hope that info gets back to the relief workers.
You would think appropriate numbers of boxes would be brought to each floor - can it be that hard?
A little more time perhaps, but come on.

Relief agencies must think folks are on their best behavior in such a time as this.
Rather, it exposes near savagery, so to speak.
