For the conspiracy theorists here ...

I'll preface this by saying that it is NOT 100% confirmed , but I have it on good authority that a truckload of generators bound for a Lowes store in Baton Rouge from the distribution center was " redirected " by FEMA along the way . No idea where they went or what type of compensation was involved .

 

[Leonidas]

And so it begins.

 

[CaptainMorgan]

maybe they purchased them???? Seem like something fema might do.

 

[SpeedRacer]

I honestly can't even figure out what conspiracy there is to be had there. A lot of reasons FEMA would want generators.

I have worked with a lot of FEMA folks, they buy supplies by the truck load and house them in massive central warehouses. Of course they are buying generators right before a major storm is about to hit. FEMA will either be using them for their own operations, or distribute them if there is a need. They are not keep on having the same fallout that occurred after Katrina.

And no the generators were not just taken without being paid for. They also stock just about anything you can imagine that people would need for disaster response.

 

[dantheman]

The delivery was intercepted enroute . The truck was already on the road , headed to the store .

 

[dantheman]

I never said they weren't paid for . I said I didn't know what type of compensation was made .

You didn't happen to be in line at that Lowe's waiting for a generator were you?

Well you can't expect those pesky Jewish bankers to run their New World Order without air conditioning during a hurricane could you?

When you call up Lowes and say "hey ill send you a check for that trailer of generators" you tend to get what you want. It would be more of a story if someone at Lowes denied the request because he actually wanted to deal with hundreds of individual sales......

There is seriously nothing unusual about this, when you call and say you have cash, companies will make it happen.

That said, the vast majority of all sales to outside companies involve sending them a bill and they send a check later.

Proving only that your friend is part of the conspiracy. You can never win with paranoids. I mean conspiracy theorists.

Wow.

How dare these evil people force this poor innocent business to accept money in exchange for these goods which the company sells.

Bastards...
