Like when Wal-Mart TRIED to send help in after Katrina. Fema stopped their trucks, I remember the National Guard going in ( already on the payroll) & Red Cross with their vans. Americans we taken care of then. Why did we change it? Is it better than it was? IDK, I dont really see it, maybe, but I wouldnt know where to go to drag up data to make a real argument, one way or the other.
What you talking bout JOG ? There was FEMA after katrina ... just that they were not doing much, as was the Bush administration ...
They could have easily air dropped supplies, but the fools were afraid of hitting someone on the ground or some garbage like that ... truth ... Bush didn't care and neither did fema ... This time it has started out different ... but you never know what is going to take a turn for the worse when and where ...
BTW I question the wisdom of millions of people living on the ocean and then complaining when they get flooded ... dude you want to drag a lion down the street calling it your baby, that's your business, dont look to us for anything more than sympathy when it swats @ you one day. No it is not a reason to kill funding to FEMA ... its a reason to get those people to the middle of pennsylvania or somewhere like that unless they will not ask for federal $$ again. I dunno, cant keep building the same sheiete back in the same locations again and again.
How stupid are we.
Flood me once, shame ono you, flood me twice shame on me.
Cool.
