the parish has been legal and open for some time now, even the worse hit areas were opened on dec. 5 or thereabouts

minimum wage is no more, even burger king is paying $8.50 an hour plus bonuses

i don't object to a program for giving grants, etc. for people who work to rebuild, indeed, it sounds like a good idea, we need some sort of new deal like plan to rebuild not just homes but infrastructure for sure

i think what you're missing tho is that many who have not returned are the elderly, the disabled, etc. the people who can't work and who can't be in a place w. no public health services, nothing to be done about them except to acknowledge they live where they live and take care of them there

everybody is not coming back and it isn't fair to expect them to, they have to do what's best for them
