[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

These are the people that get left behind. People barely scraping by that are too scared to lose their jobs to evacuate. And they have scumbag bosses who force them to come in

shyt is disgusting to hear about And even worse when you know people in real life like that

I don't know breh.. managers get tips?
Sounds like a waitress wage to me
Serving industry pay is ass

What would u prefer

not seeing black people in distress
plus the mention of Katrina is referring to the many conflicted feelings black people had at the time, see the rumblings of the man above, or the wonderful Minority Report.
It was an intentionally pithy post meant to be viewed many ways reflecting conflicted feelings ergo Katrina

Waffle Houses are known to be open before, sometimes during, and definitely after a natural disaster if at all possible. They have teams on call for this express purpose. FEMA uses them as a measure of how fukked up an area is. If you work at Waffle House, just know you will be called in to work if at all possible. Also, I doubt the manager is working on tips. It'd be a conflict of interest to have the manager compete for the same tips as their subordinates. If that's how it works......yikes!

not that Ive seen yet
maybe someone else has

The same plan they have for every disaster.

If you own a home and don't have flood insurance. Fema will max you out @ 35000$ you can get a SBA loan to offset cost.

If you own and have flood insurance. Fema will give you something, but it's going to be a hassle.

If you rent....and have renters insurance it does not cover FLOOD DAMAGE!. FEMA will pay you something and may give you housing voucher.

I feel like a lot of people are going to get a rude awakening once the recovery process begins.

Rent is going to go up, prepare for it. A lot of poor people are going to get screwed because landlords are going to take advantage of housing vouchers and raise rents. After the voucher is up you're on your own.
A good number of people will loose value in their homes. If you own a home in a neighborhood that was flooded, you can't expect all your neighbors to be able to rebuild. That's going to affect your home value. Flood insurance may increase and become harder to get which makes your mortgage more expensive. As I u understand it Houston already has high property taxes.

I've seen this play out in NOLA. It's a sobering feeling . After all the goodwill and aid runs dry

That's the only Transportation they had

What's crazy though, there was one survivor, the uncle/son of the people in the van. The family said he told them the van was filling with water and he panicked was just thinking about saving himself...terrible person.
