I realize nobody pays attention to details and how things work.

How aid has always worked. They are not given cash. US companies are paid to produce items that are sent to these countries. The money stays here. 

If you all of sudden care about infrastructure then support the lawmakers who vote to fund infrastructure products not against them.

 

Ive been in this sector before, heres a tip. Most of these weapons somehow dont make to the countries, for "unknown" reasons. It is very odd they never ask for food, clothes, or medical? O and please reply back to me when these countries send American aid for disasters, Ill wait... Help the people that are here, the Americans first.

I know we are all very very upset

It is important to remember some of this discussion isn’t helpful

Not trying  to upset anyone but to think this catastrophe is not important or other worldwide issues are more important to the President or the Governors is  poor.  

Never in my life did I think western NC would go through this   Never   One of my favorite places on Earth 

I sadly believe  it is going to be the first of many.  The Earth is angry.

All we can do right now is send money or food or supplies to local groups. 

FEMA and National Guard and groups from other states and Canada are trying to help

We all know these things 

there is plenty of time to discuss tactical to strategic and issues with the govt, that time isn’t now in my opinion.

Maybe Zod or one of the moderators could find a way for Huddlers to donate money or food to one of the local food banks or local church charities in Asheville or other cities close by.  Doing something positive is what is needed now.

I moved to CA   I don’t have the contacts or I would do it.

Carlin made a joke about the earth shaking us off in one of his standup specials once. He might have been spot on.

If we are sharing links for help, can we pin this to the top of the board so it gets the most eyes. We know many people that don’t post come to this post to read.  @LinvilleGorge  @Zod   @rayzor
