brynguist If anyone has suggestions how to scare up negative polarity items in the wild, please share. My strategy right now is to make 2-3 sentence stories about how greedy/quiet/forgetful, etc. someone is, and to conclude with "He wouldn't give a red cent even to his own mother!" etc.

ClumpedIsotopes First and foremost, give financial aid, whatever you can afford, to help people trying to survive this humanitarian disaster, ask your employer to donate, and write to your representatives to ask them to provide funds.
