There's Always Someone Worse Off

[Teapots1]

If you feel a bit hacked off with the problems we have in the UK, spare a thought for the people in Kentucky. Wondering around looking for their personal items, medication that they need on a daily basis, cash they have lost, family car wrecked, houses flattened, hospitals totally out of action, food shops wrecked and jobs destroyed, the devastation is without doubt a lot worse than we in the UK ever suffer. I'm not making light of our problems, but at the moment you just have to wonder what we are complaining about just now. Just a thought?

My thought is
you are over egging it ( hospitals dont work) - the injured have been transferred elsewhere - keen to take/admit as the Hospitals can charge....

no worse than floods - is no one insured there?

certainly not worse than the ? Brahmaputra broke its banks and the flood plain was 50 m wide. what does that mean. You have one bank of the flooded river and the other bank is fifty miles away with flat mud and nothing else in between. - - No property markers, see , for fifty mi. v bad news for the subsistence farmers

what about the muslim charities - Oh they are out there I was told but none of the western ( christian) tv stations are interested. - at the Brahmaputra just in case a sleeping ABer thinks I am referring to Kentucky

Feds are interested (in Kentucky) - Louisiana, FEMA just looked on and said, 'oh floods'. The chief a political appt (!) did lose his job

Unhealthy reliance on prayer - "Ah am praying for the bereaved" - for a politician what good is that gonna do? Let the priests say their rosaries !

Ken @13.33 Not being concerned Ken of what's happening on the other side of the world is partly due to why we have another variant of covid circulating. How long can we ignore the fact that many poorer countries are still waiting for a first vaccine, at the same time here in the UK we are begging people to have it.
