New Orleans Tech Chief Vows WiFi Net Here to Stay
breckinshire writes "After Hurricane Katrina last year, New Orleans set up a city-wide wireless network to encourage businesses to return and assist in recovery. The New Orleans technology chief recently said that he intends to make the network permanent, in spite of state law and the disapproval of telecoms."
The population that was removed at gunpoint, and kept out at gunpoint? You mean those people who weren't let back into the city until the landlords dumped their furniture out on the street and re-rented the apartments at twice the price? The home owners who are being dispossessed? The people who were told to get stuffed a couple of months ago when their bennies were cut off?
EVERYONE WANTS BACK IN. Those that weren't rich or connected are being robbed as we speak of their property. The city government has been taken out by neocons who have dissolved the public schools and non-profit hospitals -- the poor are NOT being let back in and it is intentional. Unions are now illegal. Slave immigrant and "guest" workers are paid pennies and are housed in tents, while NOLA residents who could have been paid to rebuild are told to get stuffed. The connected Republican contractors are using slave labor to build their profits. Tens of thousands of mobile homes are sitting out of state, rotting, because the shadowy figures making the decisions have made it so. The construction workers are fed by out-of-state caterers thru friendly connections in the congress and white house. In other words, all the money spent on new orleans is not going to the actual people who would work there if they could. the cash is going to republican out-of-state contract whores who are looting the place blind. the city will be rebuilt as a white, condo-tall, high-rise republican bastion of neo-con values (looting), and the state of Louisiana will be a republican state henceforth. mission accomplished.
