this is 100% truth. its amazing how little folks are prepared to have a hotel stay for a few days to get sorted out.

And another point on this, I’ll use it to chastise you. This board is made up of mostly college educated people that have means to do things. That’s a very small minority of the world we live in. Yes, I can pull out my credit card and pay for a hotel or get on a jet to wherever and work remotely for months or miss a few paychecks worst case and not really move the needle. There’s a lot of people that aren’t on that level. I’m not saying we need to give them free things but that’s the world they live in. What do you think “get sorted out” means? I’ve see that a lot with go to a hotel for a month and let this thing sort out. How do you think this works? Who’s meeting with adjusters, who’s lining up contractors, who’s moving all the shite covered in mold to the street? You can’t just throw money at everything. You think and old couple from Chauvin or Larose can just leave? People need help. Don’t be so jaded and recognize the world around you.

Let the downvotes flow.
