Welcome Back!
That sounds lame. So what did you do all day long?
Re: Back from New Orleans
Well since redcross said there was nothing we could do and most of New orleans didnt want to be saved and die with their homes.. we ended uplooking for homes in Lake Charles area.. which we found out that from new orleans - san antonio - memphis have all jacked up their rent prices because everybody needs a home now.. so a house for 700 a month in the paper ..we called and they said it would be 1175$ a month...price gouging is more than just oil here!
Re: Back from New Orleans
That's fucking ridiculous! That sort of profiteering is absolutly shamefull. Those fucking cunts are the ones I wish would have had their shit ruined.
Re: Back from New Orleans
According to my husband, Red Cross isn't allowed in alot of areas now, and most of the crew members on the boat aren't allowed to get off the boat, so they're sitting dead in the water for no reason.
Re: Back from New Orleans
Theres a lot of behind the scenes shit i saw there that isnt in the news. Everything from price gouging homes to denying evacuee's a place to go sleep in a casino hotel *ahem sheraton* because they looked a little scraggly..wouldnt you look scraggly too if you just survived a hurricane and lived on your rooftop for a night? shit. i was about to raise hell in baton rouge because of that.. nope you cant come in.. no rooms left.. oh a VIP is here...yes we have a room availible for you! Although there is one casino/hotel that i know of that actually took evacuess in for a while.. its called the Luburge du Lac casino ( i might have misspelled the name) but they are a 5 star hotel/casino that helped everybody out.. least SOME people are not price gouging here.. i have too much to say on this topic in general from seeing it first hand. its fucking sick
Re: Back from New Orleans

Re: Back from New Orleans
Glad to see You are home safe Voldta, but I wonder if anyone has reported the housing price gouging to anyone, that seems to be as illegal as gas gouging
