Loading ...The Reprehensible Audacity Of FEMA Being Broke
We don’t even have the decency to fake as though we care about our own citizens anymore.
Not only is it grotesque because of how we have squandered away hundreds of billions of dollars on things that everyday U.S. citizens are not going to see an impact from, but it’s even worse when examined under the umbrella of how we run monetary policy in this country.
What FEMA being broke today means not just that we have pissed away the money that we could have allocated for it to non-U.S. citizens — it’s far more insulting than that. It means that in a day and age where we can theoretically print endless fiat dollars and have an ‘infinite amount of cash’—an idea that I think is completely batshit insane, but our Fed governors don’t—that we still have not stocked the coffers of our domestic agencies with the bare minimum necessary for them to help the American people when they need to.
In other words, if the money is all fake, and we can conjure up as much of it as we want without any consequences, as both political parties would have you believe over the last several decades, why should FEMA ever be asking for more money to help hurricane victims?

If the actions of FEMA and the Federal Government regarding Migrant vs Citizen support hasn’t infuriated the average American, I don’t know what will. Of course the faithful will stand behind the party of the Insane.
I’d be preparing for a complete shit show after the Nov 5 election no matter what the outcome. Prepare accordingly.
“In other words, if the money is all fake, and we can conjure up as much of it as we want without any consequences”
The first is true, but that doesn’t make the second point true.
The post covid inflationary explosion was a testament to that idea (and MMT).

Lets hope that those people can vote…..
Pedro would know more from his contacts there.
On top of this travesty will the governor sabotage voting…??
“pedro would know more from his contacts there.”
Have not heard much DIRECTLY.
A friend’s mom and her ex are fine but they are right in Flat Rock/ Hendersonville and along I26. Ie, close to the main ground rescue avenues. My NYC contact said that our group’s coordinator is fine. He’s in Mountain Home, a stone’s throw from I 26, between AVL and HVL.
My concern is with all the folks in the more remote areas … Franklin, Sylva, along I-40 west, Banner Elk, Burnsville, Hot Springs … and along the French Broad itself.
Since our group was HVL based, with some floating in from AVL, they will likely get supplies and services faster.
What about Sylva? That’s the home of Western Carolina Univ. I’ve heard nothing from that area.
Counting 15-20 inches of rain, but its not flat terrain so it never distributed evenly, but all ran to the lowest places that water could find. So effectively, these “ravine” locations may have gotten 100-200 inches of water barreling down on them, all piled up. I just saw a vid where a steel shipper container wrapped against a pole was folded in half by a raging torrent.
