If you haven't heard, some national acts with Eastern NC roots are performing a Hurricane relief concert Nov. 13th in Greenville, NC. The Avett Brothers, Future Islands and Valiant Thorr will throw down at Minges for what is sure to be an epic show.

Something that caught my eye is who is sponsoring the whole shindig:

This event is expected to raise over $300k for Hurricane relief, with all proceeds going towards the effort. Can't wait.

More fundraisers for publicity purposes than actually helping people who need it.

Fundraisers are good for morale and necessary in concert with quiet, large infusions of cash that are also happening, probably also from people like Tepper. The people that attend get to feel that they're helping in a tangible way, and the people that need the help see the large crowds of people banding together to help them. It's also a fun way to release tension after spending your time cleaning up or volunteering. You have to be a real pessimist to see this as a bad thing.

you can back this up how?

Operation BBQ Relief turning away people so they could concentrate on corporate sponsors.

Tyson Foods sending trucks to Wilmington because people in Pender County couldn't get to them.

Waffle House bringing in management to help overcharge for food.

Do you mean that Operation BBQ turned away people looking for food? Or turned away individual donations and took corporate donations? 

What's wrong with Tyson sending trucks to Wilmington? What about it was wrong?

Do you work for Waffle House? Were you gouged on your order post-storm?

Sounds like you've got a bunch of hazy anecdotes that don't really support your assertion.

It all has to do with Hurricane relief..  

I know once we get our power back, we feel it's all better.  I have relatives that homes had 5 feet of water in them that didn't get flooded in past hurricanes.  There is literally people that lived in $200,000 to $400,000 homes who have lost everything and living in tents in Hampstead NC..  When the news trucks leave, there is still devastation and lives in chaos.. they've lost everything.

Pender county is under water.
