36. And He's Gonna Connect To Ebay How?
There's no electricity or phone service...doesn't do much good right now in a world where you don't know what's going on a couple blocks away, yet on a website.

Is he gonna try to lug the thing around? My bets are he'll barter it for some food or something else...then it'll be fenced around again and again. An acquaintance who went through the LA riots once told me that a lot of the stolen appliances ended up as trash as so much had been dumped on the streets at once they had little value...and most were damaged when they were looted or even beforehand

Once again, there's CNNServative showing that same three-day old looting video again...right now that town is in survival mode and you do what you have to to get by cause there's not going to be any real help in the near future.

Eventually the entire city will have to be evacuated to fix the levees and start to drain the water...these people will be pushed and shoved along...with a very uncertain future. I don't think making a fortune through looted goods...much that is spoiled or spoiling...is going on here.
