When 50 thousand people were evacuated from the city of Pripyat following the Chernobyl incident in 1986, the Soviet government built an entirely new city, Slavutych in just two years, 50km away, to accommodate those who lost their homes.

From the start, Slavutych was planned to become a "21st-century city". Compared to other cities in Ukraine, Slavutych has a modern architecture with pleasant surroundings, and the standard of living in the city is much higher than in most other Ukrainian cities.

This would be the last city the Soviet Union would ever build. The entire country would collapse in just two years’ time, but they managed to do something like this.

Meanwhile Biden sent another $500 million to Ukraine and $8 billion to pissrael.

We don't have any more money to help people survive, Jack, we spent it all making people dead

Holy shit this is just insulting

Imagine having your entire life burnt away and the feds gives you a day and a half worth of funds for lodgings.

Even if you are fortunate enough to have free temporary housing from a family member or someone this is still going to go very quickly.

That’s 70 more than we got in Appalachia. Things are trending in the right direction.

Landords: "So you're telling me my tenants can afford another $770 in rent this month? Thanks, I really needed this!"

It's a house, Michael. How much could it cost? $770?

Holy shit... My brain automatically corrected it to $770 million until I read the comments... I was thinking it was the sum of all payments, because $770 was so laughably incorrect my brain didn't even allow it to stand as is.

Here child, have half a week in a hotel or something. Buy yourself a pack of gum while you're at it, it might help with the hunger.

Sorry you lost all your material possessions, here is not even a months rent

$770? Do they really think $600 is anywhere near enough? LA was already had a ridiculous cost of living, how is $450 going to even make a dent?

I guess they'll expect people to be happy they got a $375, after all Trump would have been worse amIright?

"sorry ya lost your home. Go get a shave and a new suit, jack!"

$770 would be a major check if this were like 1932. $770 is nothing in 2025, especially anyone who isn't a healthy and able-bodied single person. For people with children, perhaps elderly people, or family complications, or any real medical issues this sucks. $770 can barely cover a couple nights an mid-tier Motel.

Biden regime straight up laughing at the have-not Californians with this announcement.

DEMOCRATS SUCK ASSSSSS DUDE

Goddamnit, with this and the Covid era windfall he gave the poors, we're never going to get them to work again!

Here's some lottery money. Good luck, Jack!

That’s like 1 week of rent in LA

don't spend it all in one place, champ

The right was accusing them of doing this with the storm over the fall and here they are literally doing the same exact shit!

The same man who couldn't give us the full 2000 he promised

Meanwhile the U.S. gives another $69 trillion worth of weapons aid to Israel for the 100th time.

a jillion dollars to israel tho

My neighbor's giant tree blew over and crushed her car, her mom's car, and her daughter's car. $770 wouldn't even cover removing the tree. She probably won't qualify for the payment because fire didn't down the tree

Thanks for the xbox Joe, I don't have a tv to play it on or a house to live in but thanks anyway

Still love the xbox

Might as well fling them a few copper coins from his passing curricle

Aristocratic ass charity amount

Worse insult than nothing, even worse than throwing a nickel at them. This communicates one thing - they took a look and didn't care to actually assess finances, like 'how expensive could it be?!'. So they're looking at the issue as a check in the box, not a human need where they would have to actually talk to the plebes.

$770 is fine

I wonder how much ~~price gouging~~ inflation this will cause

I'm really looking forward to financial news in 2030 still intoning the holy litany "with pandemic savings dwindling" alongside this new "and wildfire windfall almost depleted" verse. Unserious country, I'd be less insulted by a bullet.

: “Don’t give me that look, kiddo. You should feel grateful you even got a penny. You know that money came from the T-word, right?”

Lmao don't spend it all in one place

I really think at this point that Biden is not going to win 2028.
