When have these things ever happened in wealthy countries? Puerto Rico? New Orleans?

  I know unacceptable things happened in PR and NO, but did people die from starvation? Was there "complete chaos"?

    Read about the situation in New Orleans, during and after Katrina (and especially during the evacuation). Read about the debate over whether to attribute deaths to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico (the government officially claimed fewer than 100; independent estimates run into the thousands).

      I know about those issues, but I don't know the answer to the question at hand: > did people die from starvation? Was there "complete chaos"? Unfortunately, I (and other readers) don't have time to verify everyone else's claims; that's why the burden is usually on the person making the claim.

        Provide a definition of "complete chaos".
