I ain't talking about people coming in and rebuilding their houses, but every day people go back to thier homes, and instead of starting to work on stripping them out, they just walk around and ask "where is my federal aid money". I saw one on TV today, the woman dumped water out of a dirty glass from a cupboard in her flood damaged house, and then put the glass back on the mud covered shelf. Misery only goes on so long before it is time to pick your shit up and get started on making things better.
