60. Then should we put it another way?
Voluntary residents.
They were ordered out by the National Guard and have nowhere to return to.
If they were to go back and start pitching tents then the fucking ownership society would have them arrested.
It sounds to me like "some" folks are bitter because nobody is there to do the manual work and they are having to do it themselves or pay high dollar to have it done.
They are used to having a readily available minimum wage working class and now that it isn't there, it's pissing them off.
You want NOLA cleaned up? You want the town functioning again?
Give these people incentive to come back. Give them a piece of the pie.
Let them come back and work and deed them a tract of land for their efforts because now, they have no incentive to come clean up the mastah's yard because they can get a job anywhere.
