After Katrina thousands of Hispamics showed up to clean up the mess. The locals were too busy spending their $2,000 buying necessities such as Air Jordans.
that’s true.
My daughter worked for Shaw’s jewelers at the time, and they got a store wide email saying that folks coming in with their “benefits from Katrina” card could use them to buy jewelry.
She said it pained her but they had to accept them.
Also remember the woman in Atlanta that bought a Louis Vuitton handbag w/hers, 2k for a handbag!!!
