legal pleadings, that is sometimes called Depraved Indifference and Wanton Recklessnes.

It applies to their willful disregard of the potential for loss of life and the property of the people there. As NOLA was rebuilt, they refuse to fund low-income housing.

The NOLA disphoria was called a big improvement. They couldn't have done better if they'd planned it every step of the way. But anyone who says they did, is called crazy.
