Devastation in America

[MikeL]

Wasn't that Roosevelt ?

FDR - rightly considered one of the great presidents in US history...

[Motu]

back in the mid-late 1930's President Truman enacted a set of programs called the "new deal".. he had post depression americans working to build national parks, cleaning the streets, laying railroad tracks, building roads etc.. nothing glamorous but good clean honest work.. something a man could feel good about achieving at the end of the day. it gave my country a purpose.. a reason to get out of bed each morning.. and the pride to feel like a contributing member of society..
maybe we need to go back into that .. get all the able-bodied welfare recipients in Louisiana etc to build bigass dykes around New Orleans and clean that shitpile up..

"but my back hurts.."

(BANG!!)

"anyone elses back hurt?"

One of my grandfathers planted Kaiangaroa Forest in the Depression - not by himself,but with hundreds of other out of work men like himself who left their families to live in terrible conditions and made the largest man made forest in the world.It was work,and I guess he had some coins to send back home.

If the Yellowstone volcano erupts over there within the next 2 years, i'm moving to China.

I have a feeling that this hurricane is only the beginning..
