Uh, not to rain on your parade, but when has Qwest ever managed to get anything done in a timely fashion with less than 3X the number of field workers needed to get a job done? Seriously, I had a site inspection project in a development down in Green Valley 5 or 6 years ago. Next to the site Qwest was putting in their lines. I have never seen more field workers with imaculately clean boots & pants standing along the top of a ditch with a single worker in said ditch actually working in my life. This went on for a full two weeks and they managed to install two boxes and lay maybe 200 yards of line. The only time they moved with any urgency was at noon when they were scrambling for their trucks to drive a half a block to Carl's Jr for lunch.

Well I'll try but if it's locked I won't break in. I'm tall though, maybe it has windows.

I wonder why FEMA didn't airdrop supplies by the tons, starting the nxt day? I wonder lots of things about the Katrina Incident.

Of course this isn't the thread for it, but didn't Bush platform that he would "keep us safe" if we re-elected him, and so what did they do all those years after 9/11 as far as training for emergency? I fully believe the rescuers were ordered to "stand by" while the US Govt. killed off a whole bunch of people they wouldn't have to be dogged with later, as in now.

"They have nothing to do with Emergencey aid.... "

Alright, I am going to say this as nicely as I can, but mind you, this remark is highly offensive to me.

A few weeks back, we had a category 5 ice storm here in my area. (I'll embed the video I shot of a portion of the aftermath now)

Your remarks are offensive. In fact, I have been PAID by FEMA in the past few weeks to inspect the removal of the debris left over.
FEMA has had presence in the area of Oklahoma/Arkansas/Kentucky ever since.

You cannot say that because FEMA was lackluster in the aftermath of Katrina that they simply aren't out to help, but to destroy.
I haven't seen any evidence of it. In fact, FEMA has helped us make a substantial recovery thusfar.

I have noticed that you like to mix historical fact with conjecture before. I have called you on it, but you are fixated on this crap. Get over it.
I KNOW you are wrong on this one.

PS- You have inspired me to shoot a follow-up to this video. I'll have it up in a few days. Remember, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS were without power for WEEKS. Thanks in large part to FEMA, we are functioning well now.
