So yeah. This is probably going to be another humanitarian disaster that the government just allows to happen without making any real effort at relief, isn't it?

      idk. I feel like every subsequent huge disaster the US is less and less capable of responding. Like, how many people are going to be permanently displaced by this, and where will those refugees go? It's not like anyone can afford new housing.

        Everything is gone out there, my family is right in the storm. Luckily for now my mom's house is dry, but my brother's rental is gone, their friends houses? Gone. Their workplaces? Gone. There's about to be tens of thousands of people with no shelter and no transportation (it's swept away countless cars already) in a place that is imminently hostile to anyone without a car or shelter.

      After the way Chris Christie got treated in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, I suspect Biden will be more than happy to give DeSantis the kiss of death while the governor simultaneous throws a fit about not getting help fast enough and hooks himself directly into the QAnon FEMA Death Camp hysteria machine.

      Also wouldn't be surprised of we see Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema hold relief money hostage in exchange for some other big budget cuts.
