Can You Help Me Figure Out How To Help A Few Refugees? (PR)
I have some extra space in my house. Not much but when you are in the conditions that are facing Puerto Ricans, this would possibly be good for two or three people? Anyway, I am sure some folks getting off the island (did you know the Puerto Rico was an island and you cannot just drive there? Seriously, it is in the middle of a thing called the Atlantic!!!) need a place and have nowhere to go. I really do not have money to get them here but perhaps I could pick them up or they could find a way to get to NC? Anyway, I have no idea how to locate a family in need. I assume this may be a need for some folks escaping from the hell that is going on right now but I am not sure how to offer up my house to a couple of people. Is this needed? If so, who can I reach out to? I feel a need to do this but I have no idea where I can go to put this in action. Thank you for any ideas you may have.

Up go the utility-bills.  All routines out-the-window.  Privacy vanishes.  Things get busted and/or turn up missing.

I mean like this chick has the mindset of a 16-year-old.

Strangers coming and staying... chaos growing.  More strangers.  One vehicle.  One vehicle-key.  Every time you leave the home, something happens.  Neighbors think you're an irresponsible nuisance...  It goes on-and-on.

I know, cuz I was like that at 17.  -Surrounded by actual friends that I knew.  Ugh, what a nightmare.  Lesson learned.

Shhhh now.  We need to help the dummie get some poor homeless Puerto Ricans shacked up in her abode.  I'd donate for the air fare for that. I'm sure some others would as well.  Maybe it will catch on at the dump and lots of dummies will do it.  :cheersmate:

Maybe they could fund that ovoid truck driver member of DU to go to PR to help with the truck driver shortage.

The problem with Tubby Tobin is that as soon as he gets in the tractor, his truck is nearly at the 80,000 pound weight limit.

I'll pay for the other direction.  PR needs helping hands!  DUmmies can clean rubble! In fact most of them can ONLY do that!

I never thought about that and now that I do.... I think it is a damned good idea!  H5!!!!!

I am assuming that we will not fund their return trip?   :cheersmate:

The current living conditions in PR are likely superior to whatever usedtobedemgurl can offer.

nadin and mopinko in the good rig loaded down with supplies.  Tell 'em to take a hard left right after Ensenada and then DON'T LET UP! 

I'd throw more than a few dollars at that venture.

In fairness, I have to give some minor props to the DUmmie for being willing to offer up her home.  I know I've said on more than one occasion that if Pelosi or Schumer or any number of random DUmmies want Syrian refugees so badly, then they should be taking them into their own homes first, so it's only fair that the DUmmie should get some recognition for at least saying that she'd be willing to take in someone from Puerto Rico displaced by the hurricane.

OTOH, this is pretty much the equivalent of e-mailing pictures of their hands, because the DUmmie engages in magical thinking that somehow some Puerto Rican is somehow going to manage to, I dunno, row a Chevrolet from Viques to the Outer Banks or something in order to get to the "safety" of the DUmmie's home.  DUmmies should be saying that Puerto Ricans should be taking sanctuary in Cuba, their socialist workers' paradise, if they really meant to want to help, though.  Funny how they don't seem interested in suggesting that for people who are starving and desperate for medical care.
