    The neoliberal US government has no ability to do something like that. Not excusing it, neoliberalism hollowing out the government is by design. But the reality is if Bernardo Sandersista was president he wouldn't be able to either.

        Relocate them where? Provide them basic necessities how? The government doesn't feed or house people in this country, it doesn't have the infrastructure to even try. And the fact is that private property rights are so enshrined that state and local governments would fight this sort of relocation.

        You're right they should do something, even with the limited tools of the current government. But it is ideologically opposed to doing things directly.

          1. Pay for evacues’ hotel stays
          2. Rapidly build temp housing like china did with hospitals
          3. Start demanding leftover groceries at stores be delivered to them
          4. Realize you’re dreaming because the chemical fumes made you pass out while being stuck in car traffic

        We don't even have the cheese reserves like we did under Reagan. All the government can do is buy bullets and body bags.

      I think he could easily do it for a relatively small town like that. But couldn't do it on a broader scale. And even after one or two smaller evacuations the Congress would start to riot even tho the cost of evacuation would be like 0.01% of the US military budget.
