Exactly.Wait, am I reading this right? So the only ones that get any help are the people who should already be getting insurance settlements, and consequently don't need as much help? What the fuck?
GM!!!!GM GFY
That's ridiculous!Exactly.
Good morning fugees and GFY
The extent of how fucked up our government really amazes me at times. This is one of those times. Of the estimates 40000 people who lost everything, maybe %2 will receive FEMA funds. FEMA made an announcement that they will give each person up to $33k if they do not live in a flood zone and they have flood insurance. Everyone else, too fuckin bad. As was reported on the news, in the effective area an estimated %8 has flood insurance and the majority of the area in the disaster area was already a flood zone. In other words FEMA is just another useless branch of our fucked up government.
Sounds like what happened with hurricane Sandy. Fema seems to kowtow to insurance companies above all else. What's the best way to make sure people buy insurance? Don't help the people that don't already have it!I really didn't expect FEMA to pay for everything I lost. Yet here is working class home owners who lost everything. Just to be able to live in their houses again all the drywall has to be replaced, new furniture needs to be bought, appliances and all and home owners insurance is going to say they are not covered because it was a flood, so all these tax paying home owners are fucked. It's just not right.
Honestly Morely it's not that you said too much, it's how it was said. I am sympathetic to your plight. 30k would give you a better home yet I am upset over losing 30k worth of motorcycles but comparing our situations is like comparing apples and oranges.Yep. Sounds on par for the government / State. This is exactly why me & wife desire a more independent lifestyle. Help doesn't seem to exist in any case, might as well go our own way. Granted for now we're thankful of medical insurance, grub stubs. We're also aware these can be revoked for no reason at all.
It is also part of what has been weighing on me. If we can get a a rural development mortgage from government, how much do we sell ourselves out. Will there be help then? Kind of doubting it. So far, trying to get a government mortgage like that seems about the only way for us to ever afford even a modest 30k home.
Well I say too much. Excuse me.

Honestly bro I am not your enemy and have nothing but best wishes for you, and I am also upset on all that I have lost. I worked hard for all I have and no one has ever died on a helicopter I maintained. I believe I have a right to be proud to f what I earned as well as a right to be upset over it being destroyed. Know what I mean bro?

Yep, thanks Doc. I'm not about to apologize for what I have either. I have risked everything several times. I had GM seize MY property from a dishonest supplier and had I not beat them in court, I would have had to start all over. I've had Chrysler file bankruptcy on me, but I got paid. It would have killed me to not, I would have lost everything. I've had to file liens against plants to get paid on very large projects. Anyone who thinks that success is EASY, or unfair, is kidding themselves. Risk is a part of reward. Nobody would have stepped in and made me whole if I hadn't FOUGHT HARD to keep what was mine.
Plenty of sleepless nights and cardiac rollercoasters between wanting and having.
That is what I was expressing, or had thought it was what I was expressing. Now, if you do want to be common. Well, unfuck you and I'll say good bye.
I do and in this post I was not making a comparison between me and you. I was stating what I see fact for my wife and me. I doubt we'll see a way to afford a modest home, except via government help if we can manage to get it. Again, I've no problem respecting that someone has worked to earn something.
What I was seeing, expressing an opinion on is this below.
I can see quite well how our government helps. And this is not exactly about having help to buy a home either. Been told being discharged for me, was a railroading. Those telling it were those I respected and knowledgeable of such things. I also read about well veterans are helped upon their return home, torn up. We can all also see how keen our government is to spend billions, possibly trillions on wars in other nations, yet we have starving in our own streets, violence even in our own homes.
Sorry but when you see a spade you call it a spade. I think that whole bit is plain out fucked up. Yet we're asked to vote for the lesser of two evils, as if it matters? Sure, right ... "I'll get right on that."
The phrase "thinking outside the box" has become a cliche, but that's really what you have to do. The status isn't quo anymore for a lot of us, after the banking/Wall St fiasco, but don't give up; try to think your way out of it -- and I know you're like me, you never STOP thinking.

It is funny how easily people can be fooled but America has gone thru a huge dumbing down. You see college kids randomly get questioned on things like who fought the civil war and they don't know but they know who they been programmed to vote for. The party who declares themselves the champions of the poor has done more to ensure the poor never climbs out of poverty than anyone has. The same party is also the ones who have blocked every effort to take care of our veterans.
What really drove it home for me is my mom told me once mr Obama was trying to stop the republicans from taking her Medicaid away, right after Obama robbed Medicaid of 750 million for obamacare. People get lied to left and right by everyone, especially the media to cover up what's really going on and it's a shame. Many don't want a hand out, they just want a chance to earn and get ahead in life but the left wants them totally dependent on the government.
It brings to mind how Obama and Reid and Polosy and them declared the Bush tax cuts was only for the rich yet those same tax cuts are directly attributed to creating 10 million jobs and raising the average household income from 47k a year to 55k a year. Look at it now. The tax cuts been eliminated and our job market has shrunken to levels not seen since the 70s and the average income has fallen to around 51k a year yet the media refuses to report that and clueless peeps will continue to vote liberal. It's just plain sad.
Well fuck me then. I'm sorry if I read it wrong, but it seemed that you said it is unfair that one guy has $30K in motorcycles, when some don't have a house. THAT guy doesn't have a house now, either. Luck, good and bad, plays a strong role besides just hard work. So does a lot of other qualities.
It also seemed you were saying that if Someone has Theirs, then it just naturally comes with Fuck the Rest. There are plenty of Has Theirs who wish everyone else did too. They aren't mutually exclusive.
Well, it's not as if it's a regular occurrence. lolIt was much more fun just making fun of Kad's wood...
It is usually Lucy 'poking' fun at your wood.Well, it's not as if it's a regular occurrence. lol
Speaking of witch.... Where is that worn out dirty old hag?It is usually Lucy 'poking' fun at your wood.
Probably looking for her back that she threw out.Speaking of witch.... Where is that worn out dirty old hag?
Also, something to note. Debt is slavery the same as one oppresses with chains, beatings, killings, whips. Only it is deemed a "more polite and subtle" form of slavery. "Oppression anywhere is oppression everywhere." Believe that's James Madison, though it might be Thomas Jefferson. Been a bit since I looked it up.

Well, I went to another local B&M today, on the hunt for a driptip that matches my blue CF4-TC... and I actually found one, but you won't believe this goofy setup.
View attachment 59480
The color is just right... but unfortunately, it's one of those super-short ones, and also fairly wide-bore, though the aperture thru the connector slims it down a little. The saving grace is that it's one of those soft squishy ones, so the sharp edge doesn't bother my lips -- it's not really "sharp," it's so soft and squishy. But to get sufficient distance from the coil, I had to stack an angled adapter inside another one, to achieve the above pictured goofy result. It works, it's not too hot, I don't get a mouthful of juice, and it matches perfectly... oh, and it was also FREE... it was one of the store's giveaway items.![]()

Well wonders never cease, lol.
Your B&M is defying the FDA and giving shit away???
They should be applauded and patronized as often as possible
Lucy,
Not posting much or moved to other threads?
Yeah. He needs to do some insult googling.Not posting much, kinda dead.
Hank needs some new insults don't you think?

Perhaps you missed the "not a flood zone" part of the story...Uhhh... I don't mean to make a point here... but if you live in a flood zone and you don't have flood insurance - and a flood happens - WTF do people expect? After-the-fact free insurance benefits from never paid for non-existent policies? Isn't that exactly what all those right wing neo-cons say is a bad thing - government assistance that individuals should not be looking for from the government?
That's the same argument used by people being "forced" to purchase health insurance - because they don't want to pay for health insurance until and unless they know exactly when they are going to need it. Otherwise it's economic tyranny. Welp, you can't have your freedom from economic tyranny and eat it too.

I concur.It was much more fun just making fun of Kad's wood...
My sister isn't in a flood zone but she has flood insurance. She's in Kenner. It's just a precaution and isn't that expensive. But she does live right next to Lake Ponchartrain.GM &GFY y'all.
With luck I will have a real computer very soon. My desktop pc takes two power supplies and both was under water. One is coming from California and might be here today. The other one is coming from Austin Tx and tracking shows it left Austin, arrived Austin, left Austin, arrived Austin. Only our USPS can fuck up that bad! The new laptop I ordered should be here any day now too.
Glad I had a lot of juice mixed up. Found my scale was destroyed too. Ordered a new one this morning.
Houses not in a flood zone normally don't need flood insurance. Getting it is as dumb as nuns being forced to have birth control as part of their insurance.
Wait, how did you know? Who told? We're you spying on me this morning?GM GFY TGIF!!!

I'm so SO sick of usps. Our company has so many active "investigations" for packages they just straight up lost. I wish we could put on our site "if you're the gambling type and wanna see if you may or may not get your order from usps, please select first class!"GM &GFY y'all.
