I'm “safe” way up here in PA, but I've been following the situation
there with some interest. Pardon the observations of an outsider.

In fact, while the city may not have provided basic services, FEMA did
buy paying for hotel rooms. To a certain extent, that's a good thing,
but I've also been reading about businesses that couldn't get back
into gear simply because their workers were living in a hotel room and
didn't /have/ to return to NOLA yet.

Then there's the issue of schools, etc.

Anyway, ya'll have got a rough road ahead. Government cannibalizing
business and expanding bloodsuckers (i.e. gambling) isn't gonna help.

Mark.
