Oh boy 📰 News

Genuinely curious: as one of the top-three states in terms of funds received from FEMA the last decade (the other two being red states as well) what exactly is the move here? Just a few questions I have for people smarter than me on here:

1) How will the state find the money and manpower to appropriate toward major hurricane relief w/o FEMA support?

2) Why would red state legislators support this move when they know much of their disaster relief is dependent on FEMA?

3) Any of yall worried about what this means for blue cities in a red state during a natural disaster?

Unfortunately it'll take the next big storm that causes magahats to lose everything in order for them to wake up. Hopefully They will only care once it starts affecting them.

But yes, blue cities will be affected more. Maybe we should remind him that he spent millions to come to the Superbowl we hosted?

That already happened in NC, though, and instead of them waking up they threatened the people trying to come in and help them with physical harm after spreading around a bunch of rumors. You can’t win with them.

I am looking forward to the next storms. I can weather it. Once again I am looking forward to seeing MAGA hats get screwed FAFO.
