But these bloated dead bodies make for good floatation devices while I frolick in the waters on vacation...

60 billion for Ukraine, $700 for Maui.

The people contacting those who lost homes asking to buy their property for pennies on the dollar should have the worst possible things imaginable done to them. Absolutely worst people in the world.

Never underestimate just how much of a scumbag people can be.

700 per person, right now. Congress has to approve greater funding first, FEMA is pretty much spent out

The Child: Does your arm hurt?

Me: Yes, I did hurt it.

The Child: Do you want me to cut it off?

Me: No, thank you.

The Child: OK, well let me know when you want it cut off

I have a circular saw with a dull blade I can lend her if you want.

Ukraine was congressionally funded. The FEMA relief is what's federally funded and the agency dispenses. Same as it was for Katrina, or Sandy, or any other declared disaster. It then takes a relief bill in Congress to get more money to the people who need it.

Do your job in Congress... Pass a relief bill for Hawaii. There ya go.

Now should FEMA be funded to a larger degree -so all this could be immediate to those who need it? Especially considering how stronger storms are getting and causing more disasters? Hell even this was just a random distant blow from a cat 4 hurricane 500 miles away whose winds spread the fires.

Sure. Fund FEMA more... but let's see how that passes through Congress. Why would 'one side' agree to that when instead they can try to score home-state points by telling New York or California to 'go **** yourselves' for disaster aid, but then as soon as something horrible happens in Texas or Florida they're first in line for hand outs.

And if 'where's all this money coming from?' is a concern. How about trying to slow down the cascading climate doom and actually tax the wealthy who the top 1% account for more carbon emissions than the bottom 50% and actually move on from the energy companies lining the politicians pockets in order to keep using fossil fuels.

Wait wait now.

Didn't you hear about the UFO's? The laptop? The new charges?

No better than the stupidity that was the roman mob.

Put me in charge and I'll fix everything. I'll also surpass Robespierre for weirdness, just so future historians can have a good time too. It'll be fun.

So if your solution is to beat everything up, somehow The Child evolved it into cutting things off? That's quite the evolution.

It worked for T-Rex. Very inventive

You have a blue checkmark. We don't need further demonstration that you are an idiot.

I didn’t know this was a thing, but it looks solid. My wife will probably want to try it, so thanks.

The one thing I always research before I try a game is the resource generation. For me personally, anything with Hearthstone-style auto curve is a complete no. This looks like the generic any card can be a generator face down style, which is a fine compromise.
