Again, if I understand right, the companies initially refused to pay for a lot of people, of all races. Isn't that taking advantage of everyone equally?

I think that article was more a jab at how the local government is handling the situation much more effectively (including an appearance by Arnold) than was handled in New Orleans.

you know of course that eliminates everyone who doesn't have internet access. And who are those folks? The poor. And who are the poor in New Orleans? Blacks, for the most part. I say it's racist. I guess you say it is accidentally racist. |

Interesting. Find evidence that Mike is racist and he loses interest in the thread.

The hidden subtext of this comment of course being, you would prefer Californians to suffer like New Orleanians in order to have your racial conscience at peace.
