This is the second day that the $2,000 Debit Cards have dominated the new cycle about relief efforts, and this is the second day that people have been told to wait in line. This is the second day that they will not be available (just reported on CNN).
Evidently, people at the Astrodome are STILL waiting in line in the hot sun (even though the CNN reporter had some information that they would not be distributed) and there was just a brief lockdown there because the folks in line are getting frustrated.
Incompetence or deliberate bait and switch?
This Debit Card thing has bothered me since it was announced. Either there's going to be some fine print relieving the govt. from liability or they're trying to get people to riot??!!
It would shore help their spinmobile to see some pictures of out-of-control "refugees."
Like a lot of what is going on, mere incompetence doesn't fully explain the miscommunication going on with these promised cards. The people in line were standing under a sign that clearly said: "Red Cross Debit Cards."
Any ideas?
