saigon_2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 >>Is this one of the companies in Houston rushing to profit off of the plight of New >>Orleans? And would the NY Times rather they not provide their services?Despite his socialist leanings Redscare is dead on.Ohh the irony!The papers decry people making a profit, yet they complain when there are no jobs to offer the evacuees!If you want to guarantee a profit level then apply the regulation of government to an industry. You can almost guarantee that prices will remain at the highest level for consumers.Throw in free-market capitalism and you will have a both a company and a consumer reaping the benefits.How about proposing NY Times give away their paper if they run a story about Katrina? They should also give away ads for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saigon_2005 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 >>Ya think some of your Reagan trickle down theory of economics could cough up >>a few jobs for some of the survivors?Sure.Odds are we will have a surge of cajun cafes pop up. If keeping with Houston history most will bring their culinary traditions with them.Granted many locals will have to improve their product or go out of business.Win-win for lovers of cajun and creole food.

RedScare Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 One of the better articles I've seen. Healthy doses of congratulations and concern for long term effects. Possibly the first time I've ever seen Houston's sprawl appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Timmy Chan's Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I hadn't heard about the $15K donut, but way to go Shipley's! This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Shipley's is the best donut shop in the WORLD! Good article. As far as crime goes, I live about 1.7 miles east of the Dome. Our neighborhood is just as quiet as ever...I've seen no sign of evacuees other than the ones in our home and staying in other homes on the street.

If he did, he would know that all the fear mongering comes from residents 25 to 30 miles from downtown, who never come near the inner loop. He would also know that these same worriers say the same crap about our locals when the evacuees aren't here.And, I've yet to see a credible report of a "surge" in weapons purchases. Just a few made up remarks, unverified, some of them on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
