Irma destroyed the islands of st martin and st barthélémy, people have no housing, no power, barely any food or water, there’s looting, everyone’s feeling unsafe and the police is nowhere to be found, and the french government isn’t doing a thing, they haven’t sent for help, or money, or anything. once again, france and macron are proving that they’re absolute fucking trash who couldn’t care less about the lives of west indians
first off, price gouging (not surprising considering air france has been making money on the back of the islands for years)
AND, i’m convinced that the french government is basically LYING to us about everything, they’re minimizing the death toll (which they claim to be 8 even though locals have reported that there’s more cadavers than that in the hospital and floating in the streets), they’re lying about how much they’re helping, they’re saying they sent troops but locals are describing the situation as a civil war, etc.
