As you will see from this article, there are those who see opportunity and those who resent efforts to cash in on damage, pain, and suffering after a major devastating disaster. See this article re Joplin, MO in the Chicago Tribune.

This is not a new phenomenon, since it has been going on for years in New Orleans.

Feel free to weigh in with your your views – would you welcome it as a business opportunity or despise the exploitation?
