OT: Hurricanes Lounge XLV: Y2K Twenty-Four Years Later

[Derailed75]

Fema is complete garbage and the response would be completely different in the NJ/NY/MA area than it is in NC.

Perhaps we wouldn't spread so thin if we stopped giving money to other countries so they hate us just a little less, no? Nah. F that.

FEMA has a very long history of inadequacy under multiple administrations from both sides of the isle.

I just can’t wrap my head around the mindset of “Oh, these people have had their lives turned upside down. My job is to help. But because they’re picking a different political party to be useless for 4 years, I’m not going to help them.”

EDIT: I’m not going to comment on the rest. Got threadbanned once already, not worth risking.

Not specifically in this scenario, but in general, I have actually seen PLENTY of this happen in real-world situations...so it's not exactly far fetched or hard to imagine. But I think this is more just typical FEMA/gov't is ALWAYS horribly slow to do things due to red-tape bureaucracy

The performance of FEMA and other federal agencies that the right doesn't like is a self fulfilling prophesy for them when they constantly vote to deny the agency the funding needed to do their jobs.

The most surprising election reveal to me is that husbands can accompany their wives into the voting booth in NC.

I can't imagine.
