Just a thought - if a developing country/state can afford to go that cheap, why here in US we have this rampant prices ?? Someone(Corporate world) out here is making big money.
Isn't it time companies act in the interest of consumer rather than their own ??
Before, I get into what I say - what ever I say here is no personal , no offence to no one
We are now into 3rd day of this disaster and we just starting to realize how big it is and how long does it take to get back to normal(if at all). Right now being in US we can support the victims morally and monetary..
I first heard this news on Sunday CNN headline news and I thought it was small earth quake ( this is how CNN projected it, initially) As was googling around today I saw one comment which was hard to believe, that western media was not ready to give all the info - just not spoil the holiday mood. No wonder, Mr.President (Geroge Bush) didn't find time or muharth till now (we are into Wednesday) to talk about it. There is no official communiqué from white house, yet. They offered $15 mn (now they revised to $35 mn ) - is this 50c per displaced person that's how they are calculating ?? And one more thing, as I watching those images on Anderson Cooper 360, someone reported Anderson not to show those images as they are quite disturbing.. what kind of an insensitive person would he/she be ? Initially, I thought its media which is bad here in US, than I thought it govt. too,,and its hard to believe people are being insensitive too..
I'm starting to ask myself - why is America being so in different when it comes to others peoples. I know now in IRAQ they created a mess and they or media don't talk about civilian casualties any more,, just the American Soldiers ( some times they don't even Mention about other country soldiers). Now they only want to get out of there because there are more American Casualties. Now we have a natural disaster and US has all the equipment, resources (strategic/logistical) and they could be in fore front of relief operations.. They don't see any oil over there they don't act. Is that is !!
Sept'11 changed world for sure, not because it's America which got affected because it's the evil thing which happened and world came together . Any way its getting loooong, what I wish to say is - YOU don't make friends waging wars, you make them when you lend your hands when they need them..
