In Hurricane Ruins, North Carolina Food Workers Organize and Fight

[Biophilic]

1. Same problem, different area, different story.

I know my area in SW Florida wasn't devastated as much as western Carolina this time, but we had just recovered from several major hurricanes over the last 3 years. Each year the restaurant owners association pulled together to rebuild and keep their employees paychecks coming. They had benefits for each other and supported any activity to help pay for peoples rents etc. I haven't seen anything like this cooperation before. It was really impressive. That has happened for 3 years running following 3 major hurricanes. They have mostly had to rebuild their restaurants and support their staff and each time they have managed to pull off what I think of as major miracles.
