He’s said what he has to say about her pathetic performance. The entire island is in a state of “can’t do”.

They can’t get the trucks because they can’t alert the drivers because they don’t have power so the cel towers are down. They could not, for example, ask drivers to report to obvious master distribution points on a daily basis, nor require them to have battery powered radios that the gov’t broadcasting service could broadcast to. No. That would be $10 radios and $3 worth of batteries.

They can’t drive the trucks because they don’t have fuel. Nobody could have foreseen that lacking electric power, fuel pumps do not work.

They can’t drive the trucks because many of the roads are washed out or blocked with debris they cannot clear because the construction gear required would also require fuel.

But she can get T-shirts printed up with her pleas for help and accusations of everyone else being at fault. While she fails to attend the meetings held to coordinate the distribution of aid.

They of course could not stockpile any fuel. Because they didn’t know the storm was coming. Right. Nor could they pre-position any generators. And they couldn’t foresee that the distribution of aid would be required after the storm passed. Nobody could have foreseen that. Too much to ask.

They can’t do squat, they didn’t know squat, they can’t plan squat. And the mayor and her underlings are withholding food per reports and trying to sell it.

Oh, and by the way, had they not kicked the USN out of Viequas the ships would have been there days sooner.

How many of these problems are supposed to be solved by someone else? What the hell else is new, do you have to have a full-on socialist welfare state to achieve the elite theft cabal that operates without regard to the general welfare or is a semi-socialist state sufficient?
