I used to live near his childhood neighborhood in LA, and I would hear stories about him quietly donating to local organizations and refusing to allow any publicity. Also, he gave his home to the city to create a public library. It had an exceptionally kickass DVD collection—-lots of offbeat indies and classics and…
I think that’s a typo. The article from ProPublica says the Red Cross raised half a billion for Haiti, not half a million. So yeah for $500,000,000 they should have been able to build more than 6 houses. They could have built 5000 houses with that amount.
For you non-sportsball people: JJ Watt is just a generally awesome guy. He’s one of the best defensive players in the entire league, but he seems to spend almost a full-time job’s worth of time volunteering for various hospitals and charities and managing his foundation.
People don’t really realize just how MASSIVE Houston is. The chemical issues are maybe a good hour drive away from me, so I can’t speak to how people closer to it are dealing.
My district is working hard to cook hot meals and open up to feed the community kids! Today we had two campuses open doing it.
HISD have announced they’ll be serving 3 meals a day to every student throughout the school year. Now we just need to get them there.
I read today that the Houston public school district will be serving all school meals for free for the entire 2017-18 school year. Nice move on their part.
They have announced that _all_ Houston school kids will get free lunches for the next school year.
Not meant to hit you while you are down ... LA doesn’t allow unfettered development along said fault line, and has actual earthquake codes that must be complied with. Here in San Francisco some parts were indeed built on landfill - most of the expensive homes in the Marina and the Financial District are landfill. …
A Coldplay concert was cancelled here on Friday and the radio played a bit of a song they wrote about Houston. At first I laughed cause it’s so ridiculous, but then I started crying and couldn’t stop. Thank you to everyone who is helping however you can!
That’s the wrong link. Here’s the list: http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/28/546745827/looking-to-help-those-affected-by-harvey-here-s-a-list
Chris Brown promised $100,000, though he also said not to donate to the Red Cross and promised to get his money “to the people.”
Houston is a “majority-minority” city so it’s interesting to watch all you phony so-called liberals get some weird glee in the suffering here. Hmmmmm.
Rhaeger looked A LOT like Viserys. Good casting
I think the GOT death rule is that nobody’s dead until you see them die, and even not then. Light a candle for my ginger prince, tho. He needs to make those giant babies with Brienne!
Saran wrap your license and important papers too and if you have plastic file folders put it in there and wrap them tight as hell. Good luck
Are you under the impression the people getting flooded out of their homes in Houston are GOP senators?
These posts are really going to age well, I predict. You’ll probably feel reeeeeallly good about them sometime.
I’d rather a confederate flag on a rescue boat than a supposed liberal doing nothing, I guess.
