Can Things Get Any Worse for Katrina Victims?

Let's say that your home was wiped out by Katrina. The government then completely fucks up to compound the natural disaster. With enough pressure, things start to turn-around, and maybe your neighborhood is getting back on its feet.

You've been living in a FEMA trailer, which is probably better than nothing and allows you to stay in your neighborhood. Then, you find this out that it might be poisoned. Formaldehyde is used in the production of things with plastic, but you would think that the part of the QA process is to make sure that shit is out of there before the product is shipped. Or, someone in the government would say, "Man, this smells like that pig I dissected in middle school." Guess this will lead to another round of lawsuits.

Makes you wonder if this would happen if private companies (that could lose a contract) were in charge of these things. A little accountability would go a long way, IMHO.

I would keep feeding you beers and let you talk. I can't BELIEVE we haven't put New Orleans back together again. I hear people refer to the f*ing place as Katrina. As in, we're going down to Katrina to build houses.

Literally so angry I cannot speak. Only shake my head and get to work clearing rubble while snapping at people.
