>> All those people have to LIVE somewhere - dumbass.

All what people? The people in the shipping operation who live in other places?

Prior to the storm these were NOLA's biggest nonpublic employers:

Schwegmann Bros. Giant Supermarket.....4,600
Hibernia Corp. (banking)...............3,100
First Commerce Corp. of Louisiana......3,026
South Central Bell.....................3,000
Shell Oil Company......................2,700
Martin Marietta Manned Space System....2,400
Exxon Corporation......................1,750
Union Carbide Corp.....................1,150
Whitney National Bank..................1,305
Hilton Hotels..........................1,300
Ruth's Chris Steak House...............1,100

Keeping in mind that Shell and Exxon pulled out most of their operations between the time of these figures and storm, who are "all those people" you're talking about?
