State Department-Fotomat Connection
I ran into this at Susan Madrak’s place. As if the US’s paltry relief attempts weren’t bad enough, we are making stranded US citizens pay for photographs for a replacement passport.
These people have lost everything except their lives, and their government is charging them for a replacement government document. Hasn’t anyone told the embassy that there’s an emergency and it is in America’s interest to get as many of its citizens as possible out of the area so they don’t use scarce food and water.
All of Acme, Inc. is staffed by jerks, and it is of little surprise that the rest of the world dislikes the US.
