STOP HELPING, FEMA

New Orleans is not recovering very well economically.
Why?
FEMA.
No, I am not saying FEMA is completely responsible.
It is just, well....FEMA is still paying the deadbeats of New Orleans money.
Since they are getting free money, they have no incentive to work.
New Orleans businesses are struggling for workers and are willing
to pay outrageous wages to get workers.
No one is signing up.

My boss just went to a job fair in New Orleans to attempt to hire a complete staff for one business.
Other businesses were there to hire people.
Two people showed up.

He told me he saw Help Wanted signs in the windows of nearly every business he passed.
Target is willing to pay $11.50 an hour for stocking.
McDonald's is paying $9.
Popeye's: $11.

If only FEMA would stop paying these deadbeats, maybe they would start getting back to work...
Lazy bums.
