Occupy outperforms Red Cross in Hurricane relief.

of course they arent going to drop 3d printers, solar panels and water filters into those poorer areas.

the sneeky little buggers would start melting down the tonnes of coke bottles in the rubbish tips and then re make all their own crap for free.. which would piss off the government dependant utopia and the corporate dependant utopia agendas.

NO: We will not nuke hurricanes. And a US weather agency has responded to public pressure by explaining why.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has led its Hurricane Research Division's frequently asked questions page with an extraordinary - even for America - statement: "During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms."
i suspect their is just something delicious in thinking americans believe you can fix anything with a big enough bomb

The Chinese thought to reduce smog around Beijing for the 2008 Olympics by firing special artillery shells at clouds. Correlation is not causation, but the weather during the games was slightly better than usual, though arguably the ban of non-essential automobile traffic was a bigger factor. Perhaps something that communists and capitalists can agree upon: the desire to kill "mother nature" with a large enough bullet.

Congress voted to suspend Hurricane Relief for Sandy. Listening to Chris Christie eviscerate his own party was interesting.

Congress passes $ 9.7b aid package for Sandy.

Better late than never and better insufficient than nothing at all.
