donating money to dorian victims is useless. there is nothing left to buy

on many message boards there is a substantial amount of dissing the idea of financial support for the Bahamas . which may be a valid thought. today and for the next several months money has no value in the Bahamas simply because there are no goods and services to purchase. I took a total loss with Harvey in Rockport 2 years ago. had no clothes left. but within 48 hours thousands of support people showed up with equipment, building materials, food, water etc. volunteers.....that will not happen in Bahamas... they are much more messed up than I was, because recovery assistance will be wanting. the fed govt could best support by setting up a sealift of supplies, not unlike that to support a relief invasion. they got the coastal vessels less dependent on docks that may have been destroyed,
