ou812 Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/345032p-294601c.htmlLavish tastes of card-carrying lowlifes Profiteering ghouls have been using debit cards distributed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina - intended to buy essentials for evacuated families - in luxury-goods stores as far away as Atlanta."We've seen three of the cards," said a senior employee of the Louis Vuitton store at the Lenox Square Mall in affluent Buckhead, who asked not to be named. "Two I'm certain have purchased; one actually asked if she could use it in the store. This has been since Saturday."The distinctive white cards were distributed by the Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and carry a value of up to $2,000."It doesn't say anything on the card other than alcohol, tobacco and firearms cannot be purchased with it," the store employee told me. "There's nothing legally that prevents us from taking it, unfortunately. Other than morally, it's wrong."The source told me that the two women who had made purchases with the card each bought a signature monogrammed Louis Vuitton handbag in the $800 range."They didn't look destitute by any stretch. You would never have said, 'They must be one of the evacuees.' … The one that I dealt with yesterday was 20. She'll be 21 next month." The source described the reaction of other store-keepers in the mall - which includes luxury brands Ferragamo, Burberry, Judith Leiber and Neiman Marcus - as "outrage.""It doesn't say anywhere on there, but it would have to be a good amount to be shopping in here," the source said with a dark chuckle.

ghhhhhost Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 being the richest country in the world..with the most available resources and the mightiest military....u would expect a level of competence above and beyond that of a Malawi, Burundi, Eritrea, Moldavia etc. ur comparing apples to oranges and as usual are making NO SENSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubbingirl Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 i think as a general statment, there were leaders who fugged up. and now instead of pointing fingers and saying "you should be blamed b/c u did this worse than me", they should focus their efforts on how to make the situation better. Giving out cards seemed to be one of their efforts. It was well intended but there are always going to be dumbasses who buy LV bags instead of food.
