Hurricane Sandy: People Dumpster Diving In NY‏

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Dear Ferfal,
People are
dumpster diving in NY already – after only four days without
power.  You can
watch the video here:


I cannot say I
am surprised, however.  I think most
people in that city
are simply accustomed to convenience at their
fingertips.  On top of that,
many living quarters are cramped, so I doubt many
people even consider
having a few extra cans in the cupboard.  And, if I may add, my experience
is that New Yorkers are very arrogant and very
naive.  They believe that
their “lifestyle” or whatever is the most
important thing in the world.
But what if the structure holding up their lifestyle
were to fail?  The
thought does not cross their minds.
Best,
Curtis
Hi Curtis,
Yes, not much of a big surprise. Its sad that three
days later people are already dumpster diving. I’m sure many of those people
have already been dumpster diving for some time given the crisis.
There’s also reports of looting in NY and NJ, no surprise
there either. What are people looting? Anything from diapers to food, but as
always liquor and big screen TV are among the favorite picks. A “Looters will
be shot” sign generally fixes the problem, especially with someone around willing
to make that promise good, but its hard to do that in anti-gun places like NY.
Looters and people behaving like animals, that ok, but God forbid people having
a scary gun.
When I wrote down a few tips for getting ready for
Sandy I recommended having 7 days worth of food and water. For a disaster of
this type I think its more realistic than just 3 days as recommended by several
authorities. Of course from an economic collapse and other long term disaster
perspective, food supplies are measured in months, not days, but I always
assume there´s new readers around, maybe some looking for information on the
event of the moment such as Sandy.
