not even a slight drizzle from that
Better the rain than wind
Better nothing. How many of you want to deal with your insurance thieves again.
It would help if the government pays us salaries today so we can prepare
@pay, how in the world? You know what? Never mind.
They paid you your salary for weeks years and months
You still not ready?
Too bad. No hope for you.
If you have family living in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia,they issued a State Of Emergency. The hurricane is going to hit landfall by Thursday.Here in Maryland they also issued a State of emergency.I live near the water which is rising so I made the decission to take my kids and pet to a hotel in the city.
It is people with the mentality of “pay” that gets government workers a bad name. Why should government be expected to pay you to prepare your own property for a storm. Next you will want a minister to come hold an umbrella over your head if you lose your roof and it is raining. It is time people start to take responsibility for their own lives and stop expecting government to do everything. Government spends tax payers money , not their own money . If you want to live in a place where government does everything then go live in Venezuela and see what life is like when the socialists run out of other people’s money to spend .
