I have no idea. I just ingest a lot of peppers if I'm plugged up.

If you're using it for recreational uses. . . I'm partial to steam inhalers. . .

 

Spelunking Miss Hilton's vagina aside, you'll want to learn French and try to apply for citizenship. . . which for you (what's a U.S. citizen) is a dicey proposition.

Your best bet is to just try to work for Apple in France, and find a wife. . . unfortuantely, that is your BEST bet.

So yes, the difficulty is moderate.

 

Dave, stop being a douchevagrant.

Second, your leading point is hinged on the 2,000,000 people (they weren't all black, my buddy Matthew Shahbazian was there. . . and if he's black, I'm Korean) having 4 days notice. They didn't. Many were anticipating this up to a year. Several of them doubling-down with a (grossly, IMHO) presumption that either we'd have the first African-American president, or the first female president.

Thirdly, not having been to New Orleans, I can't give any wild insight to social particulars. However, when dealing with lower socio-economic neighborhoods, it's best to just fire warning shots until you get the desired effect. . .

. . . also, in many of the citizens defense, the first thing out of the authorities' mouths was probably, "I'm from the government, please listen. . . "

Don't consider that situation too far out of your own scope of understanding. . . just get more information before arriving at a conclusion.

 

Following up: Unkie T-bone, why has this nation largely become a mass of uncapable whiners that insist on getting help from the government for anything and everything?

 

what ever happened to self resposibility and accountability?

 

As is noted in the P&CE section (aka: the "We're Americans and we don't know why. . . but we're Americans dammit!" section), it's actually the upper-crust that's begging for the money.

The middle class got dissolved in the last 8 years. What's left are the Edwardian underemployed (including those on workfare), Trustafarians, and the wealthy.

If you're actually making north of $45K, and south of $150K a year, and aren't here on an H1-B, you can't say shit: you're (*cough* we're) of such minority that our needs are barely a blip on the radar screen. Too "wealthy" for government money, not wealthy enough to bribe someone into office. . . and our numbers have been on a rapid decline.

The only thing I will say about whining is that the underemployed should be allowed reasonable access to health care that isn't the Emergency room. It'd save the taxpayers as well as the small businesses that support them millions (perhaps billions) of dollars a year in lost productivity and overly-expensive medical treatment.

America was founded on small businesses, but Big Government runs on Big Business. . . but most big businesses started off as small business. . .

 

They've formed a committee to look into how they might be more effective going forward. . . but since they don't have a third, they can't even make quorum.

 

How should I stay warm?

 

Humping.

Aside from that. . . wear thin, loose layers to bed.

I'd stick with plan A.

 

Down on my luck a wee bit
