That’s why it’s incredibly idiotic to rely on the government for anything
Posted on 9/14/25 at 11:05 am to Gatorbait2008
Why the down votes?
Posted on 9/14/25 at 11:05 am to Gatorbait2008
Government has mostly turned into career politicians with a law degree. Their goals center around votes and getting elected.
It’s evident anytime there’s a major hiccup, they have zero idea on how to handle it. See Covid.

We have to rely on them. Cops, firefighters, etc are the Government.

I won't say anything is untrue, but it is a made for tv program.

The further removed from being a local agency, the more inept and inefficient the agencies become.

I've heard about Katrina years 1-24....
Hard pass.
Hard pass.

Well with my injures I am in the unfortunate event where I can not do that now.

And if course it's too late for anyone to be held accountable.

Is it a State of Limitations thing or a Government doesn't care thing or both?
Posted on 9/14/25 at 11:22 am to 4Bagger
I'll summarize it for yall:
"Why isn't anyone getting us out of here? Why aren't we being saved? Where are the busses?"
*a few episodes later"
"Why are they putting us on these busses? Why are they bringing us somewhere else? Taking us against our will!"

Yes it does

All of the above. No doubt most of the info in the doc was available if there was a real investigation soon after Katrina. "Journalists" and government cover for each other.

Imagine a hurricane coming and thinking “its fine, daddy government will protect me”

I made it around 15 to 20 minutes before they started the race baiting shite about how everything bad happened only to black people and nobody else and I had to turn it off.

Well normal people it is insane, but with serious brain damage I need them to do their jobs. I've payed Taxes, now I need some help. Sucks, but not much I can do.

It was a combo of an unprepared ineffective government (at all levels) and an entitled, unprepared population.
