Interesting. At least the government is consistent.
When Hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey the authorities also sent volunteers packing when they wanted to enter the state with truckloads of emergency supplies and were turned down because they didn’t have an official Bill of Lading. That’s the official reason.
They also sent electricians who came from as far away as Georgia packing, they SAID, because they weren’t union. That’s the official reason.
Does it sound to you like FEMA has the best interests of catastrophe victims at heart? That’s the government for you. It’s all about them. Obey their ridiculous orders or go to jail. No questions asked. They don’t give a rat’s ass about victims.
Help for Haitians after the crippling earthquake of 2010 was pathetic on the part of the government; likewise for victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Volunteers were always the first on the scene; never the government, and the help provided by officials—or lack thereof—was appalling.
