Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.
I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: baapimakwa@gmail.com, or you can click here.

You messed up a perfectly good corpse is what you did. Look at it, it’s got anxiety.
The government was too busy with Iraq war. The US Army Corps of Engineers failed to do their work well. Now Americans are fighting in Syria. Years go by, nonsense never dies.
“People should protect themselves” from a fucking hurricane????? And anyway what the fuck is the government there for if not to help its citizens?
Hi, meteorologist here. Let me add a little insight and history to this.
The 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season is still the leader for the most active season in history. In this season, we saw a number of economically damaging storms, including Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. The year before that we also had Hurricanes Charley and Ivan.
Two big seasons like this happening back to back was unprecedented. Nothing like this had ever happened before, and no one could ever have imagined these kinds of storms feasibly happening so near each other in time.
Case and point, there was a show around that time called “It Could Happen Tomorrow” on the Weather Channel that took hypothetically devastating weather events and had them strike prone areas. Essentially, it was a “worst case scenario” kind of show, and usually showed unthinkable amounts of destruction. A few months before Katrina happened, they had an episode in the works about a Category 5 hurricane hitting the Gulf Coast.
Wonder which city it was “imagined” to hit? New Orleans. You can guess why that episode never actually aired.
Point? This. Was. Unimaginable. Of course the government had no freaking clue how to handle this when it actually happened. Even today we’re still feeling the fallout of those two seasons. The National Flood Insurance Program, which anyone who lives on the Gulf Coast in a flood prone area is required to have coverage through as referenced in the thread above, is still dealing with massive amounts of debt. These seasons emptied the proverbial coffers back then, which, as you can imagine, is a big problem now for people still waiting for claims payments.
Does this excuse how late these claims are being settled? God no.
Does this explain part of why this is happening? I think so.
Do I wish this wasn’t happening at all and that these people were getting the money they expected years ago? You bet I do.
