And remember, this is only the first hurricane season with FEMA gutted, we got 3 more till the administration changes (hopefully) and someone gives them the resources they need to do their job.
Until then, you get what you voted for... Good luck , Florida...
And Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, the Carolinas, Mississippi, and Alabama. All states which consistently vote republican except for Georgia sometimes though they helped vote in this orange turd.
Not to mention all the eastern states that get thrashed by the hurricanes when they downgrade to severe tropical storms as they proceed along their path. KY, TN, OH, WV, MO, AR, GA, etc. We get what we vote for. The scale of the disasters have to outmatch the scale of incompetence to turn this around, and I don't see either of those scales getting smaller.
Edit: for clarification: most if not all GOP diehards lack the empathy required to see systemic issues and know that we need to act collectively to address them. They must experience it. Even then, many won't change because of a variety of educational and racist systems.
no more government welfare for them. trump also told them to deal with it, thats what they voted for.
No, no, see, it's cool... the NEW FEMA is all about states rights. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps! Red states love that! It will be great!
Season? Are we still doing those? I thought they were coming year round now
Each year is a new season now
With all the same returning characters!
After your city is destroy, rather than rebuild with public funding, you will need to sell your businesses and homes to the rich.
Also they are gonna fuck your wife
at least SOMEONE is
Can’t even get it up in this economy smh
im so shocked, how could this happen???
/s
MAGA country is gong to feel the pain from this the most
They will still figure out a way to blame Biden/Democrats/DEI/woke agenda tho … and people will swallow it.
There are already plenty of militia cosplayers who mainline InfoWars who truly think George Soros creates hurricanes using weather weapons
Well, unless there are more fires, mudslides, and earthquakes in California...
Bonus - Impending volcano off the coast of Oregon/Washington:
That volcano poses no threat to people.
The article literally starts out saying that volcano is no danger to people.
Yeah, they SAY that...
Good.
They better call it off, then!
Just like Covid! If you stop testing for it, nobody gets it, right?
So if you just cancel hurricane season...
Well this should be a fun season
As by design. We are being ruled by emboldened terrorists. Their only policy is self enrichment through plundering federal agencies. Anyone not in the club is on their own.
can someone link me a source that says when they were "ready"?
Is FEMA even still around?
I mean, technically?
FTA:
"You can imagine that makes FEMA look very, very different. What it's going to look like in the end, we'll find out,” he told staff. “Remember, the president's a bold man. The president has a bold vision, he makes bold statements."
tl;dr "We have no idea who we are or what we're doing, but daddy Trump says it's OK!"
