  1. so what do private schools and tax cuts have to do with the aftermath of a devastating hurricane? nothing... these people are predator capitalists who wait for disasters, man made or natural, doesn't matter which, and while most people are trying to get back on their feet and looking the other way, predator capitalists are exploiting the system, people, and situation to enrich themselves, they gut social programs that actually help and implement privatization schemes that make matters worse for the vast majority of people. they don't care about anything but themselves, they don't care about human suffering, they don't care about what's best for people, they are greedy capitalist vultures who exploit people in their time of need. think of what christopher columbus did to hispanola when he landed, think of the exploitation of millions of native americans and think of the complete extinction on the arawak people, this is the same thing in a more modern way.

  2. it's been going on in africa since the slave trade, it's been going on in india, asia and the middle east for a century or more, it's been going on in south america, central america, and the carribbean since the spanish inquisition.

  3. disaster capitalism has been going on for a century, or american imperialism, in war, after war, after war, after war... all to exploit people around the world for corporate profit... betsy devos is just the face of a modern version of privatization, the whole republican party and a good chunk of the democrat party is behind this. just one example is cuba, a tiny carribbean neighbor that we have imposed a trade embargo and sanctions on for 50 years. are they that much of a threat to us? of course not, it's just a punishment them for not letting in american companies in to exploit their resources and labor...
