daddylikes, the rain brough by the hurricane stressed the levves, but the levves had been in severe documented disrepair (FEDERALY) for decades. that levee system is funded by public money for the public good. that destruction was caused by faulty levees. the hurricane was what caused it, but it was bound to happen sooner or later becauyse noone in the corrupt city and local and state gov3ernment of louisiana gave a flying fuck to go get these levees shored up to acceptable moderen standards.
I firmly believ that if the exact same scenario had occurred in an all white, middle class, new england city, the governent response to it would have been swift and over the top.
all it took to help those people stranded in the toxic flood was to get the national guard to start airlifting people out. the fact that for three days the only people helping out were volunteers makes me sick.
