I can tell you exactly what happens…


Your local mayor, commissioner, etc creates an LLC and gets the contracts to create debris removal sites on his vacant land and makes a fortune from fema.

Also his buddies in whatever industry that has access to trucks gets the hauling contract and makes a killing as well

This is exactly why lots of people run for office, and their friends get out and bust arse to help get them elected. Funneling gubment dollars into their pockets, whether it be on daily projects or emergency projects.

Perhaps the real reason why the governor and mayor of NOLA love covid; all that fed money pouring through their coffers.

I don't mean to be political, but that's the reality, either side of the aisle.
