   I don’t even have the words.  I thought my outrage meter had already been broken from overuse. 

   I’m ready to give up.  Give up on this country, give up on humanity.

    

   I need a reason to keep hoping that somehow, some way this is going to get better — that the human race isn’t, and shouldn’t be — doomed.

   Appalling. There are no contractors in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Arkansas who can put local people to work?

   Unfuckingbelieveable.

   OK, I read the little article. They’re not being hired to clean up the cities. They’re just being hired by the Navy to clean up naval bases under a pre-existing slimy scheme, I mean, contract.
