Oh no! Sounds like a good year for Maralago to get hit with a hurricane.
Blue states need to just form their own coalition for natural disaster responses.
It makes zero sense to constantly bail out red states when the fed won't help blue states.
What do you mean? The president is sending the military to help out DC. It might not be the help needed, or the help wanted. But it’s help!
Or the help that is useful
or even help at all
OK over this way, sir, you are being detained
Great idea, truly.
New England, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia all form an emergency response fund to only help one another. We all still get FEMA but we also have additional funds available.
Hire all the disenfranchised weathermen or something idk.
Typically fema helps regardless. I don't think that has changed so far this year.
They try, but many conservative rubes have been conned into thinking fema is there to repossess their house or something. They actively avoid/threaten fema workers, whilst placing themselves and others in danger attempting to do fema’s job. Our propaganda is such poison in the US.
That would require raising taxes and hiring more public staff, which neoliberal mayors and governors have been absolutely allergic to since Clinton.
California's status as World's Seventh Largest Economy matters less when they've the population of Canada but with 30% less state income. That, plus these states don't control their own currency. It would be a dozen liberal Argentinas in practice.
Well, now it is the fourth largest, but point taken.
Knowing the fucked up universe we live in, we’ll have a good 4 year stretch of no major disasters while Trump is President. God loves a good joke.
Worked out for him last time with the pandemic.
Maybe the Dems will fire up the ole weather machine /s
