After your city is destroy, rather than rebuild with public funding, you will need to sell your businesses and homes to the rich.

Can’t even get it up in this economy smh

And remember, this is only the first hurricane season with FEMA gutted, we got 3 more till the administration changes (hopefully) and someone gives them the resources they need to do their job.

Until then, you get what you voted for... Good luck , Florida...

And Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, the Carolinas, Mississippi, and Alabama. All states which consistently vote republican except for Georgia sometimes though they helped vote in this orange turd.

Not to mention all the eastern states that get thrashed by the hurricanes when they downgrade to severe tropical storms as they proceed along their path. KY, TN, OH, WV, MO, AR, GA, etc. We get what we vote for. The scale of the disasters have to outmatch the scale of incompetence to turn this around, and I don't see either of those scales getting smaller.

Edit: for clarification: most if not all GOP diehards lack the empathy required to see systemic issues and know that we need to act collectively to address them. They must experience it. Even then, many won't change because of a variety of educational and racist systems.

No, no, see, it's cool... the NEW FEMA is all about states rights. Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps! Red states love that! It will be great!

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Season? Are we still doing those? I thought they were coming year round now

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Each year is a new season now

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

MAGA country is gong to feel the pain from this the most

[–] Gismonda@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They will still figure out a way to blame Biden/Democrats/DEI/woke agenda tho … and people will swallow it.

[–] Gregg@lemm.ee 14 points 4 days ago

There are already plenty of militia cosplayers who mainline InfoWars who truly think George Soros creates hurricanes using weather weapons

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Well, unless there are more fires, mudslides, and earthquakes in California...

Bonus - Impending volcano off the coast of Oregon/Washington:

[–] SpacetimeMachine@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The article literally starts out saying that volcano is no danger to people.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah, they SAY that...

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 3 days ago

That volcano poses no threat to people.

[–] Gregg@lemm.ee 23 points 4 days ago

As by design. We are being ruled by emboldened terrorists. Their only policy is self enrichment through plundering federal agencies. Anyone not in the club is on their own.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is FEMA even still around?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

I mean, technically?

FTA:

"You can imagine that makes FEMA look very, very different. What it's going to look like in the end, we'll find out,” he told staff. “Remember, the president's a bold man. The president has a bold vision, he makes bold statements."

tl;dr "We have no idea who we are or what we're doing, but daddy Trump says it's OK!"

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They better call it off, then!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Just like Covid! If you stop testing for it, nobody gets it, right?

So if you just cancel hurricane season...

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Well this should be a fun season

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

can someone link me a source that says when they were "ready"?
