We do not yet have teleporter or replicator technology like you saw on
‘Star Trek’ in college between hookah hits and waiting to pick up your
worthless communications degree while the grown-ups actually engaged in
the recovery effort were studying engineering.The United States military can wipe out the Taliban and the Iraqi
Republican Guard far more swiftly than they can bring 3 million Swanson
dinners to an underwater city through an area the size of Great Britain
which has no power, no working ports or airports, and a devastated and
impassable road network.You cannot speed recovery and relief efforts up by prepositioning
assets (in the affected areas) since the assets are endangered by the
very storm which destroyed the region.No amount of yelling, crying and mustering of moral indignation will change any of the facts above.
