Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Surely you all know that this is not the end of the aid the government is going to give, that it is only a quick cash infusion to help with immediate expenses? Because some of your are acting like you don't know that. This was the same line put forward by the Rs after the Vermont floods. It takes time to get full disaster relief to an area, especially when one party is threatening to put preconditions on that aid or to block it entirely.
Whether it is enough or not is a different question...
They're working ceaselessly towards an actual disaster relief, you could say?
China would've built half a new town by now
Given the government aid people received in previous disasters, that's exactly the level of aid people can expect. Absolutely hilarious that you're acting like you don't know that.
Here is an article from Fox. Look for the link Can I get more assistance. https://www.foxla.com/news/california-fires-770-fema-checks-how-to-apply
You can find the same information in many other sources.
Do you have any actual proof that other disaster victims received "exactly the level of aid" of $770 without further assistance? Or, is it a consequence of misinformation?
Your belief that the US government would meaningfully help its citizens during a disaster is the actual consequence of misinformation. One day the disaster will come to your home, and the government will abandon you, too.
There have been two disaster declarationss near where I live. The town of Lyons was flooded and the Christmas Marshall fire. I also know someone whose property flooded in Florida just recently. In all of these I know people who got/are getting significant government help. I have a family member who lost their property in the LA fire, but it is to soon except for the emergency relief in this topic.
There is plenty to criticize, but saying that the government will only pay these people $770 is wrong and the product of right wing misinformation.
