All of the twitter purchase was worth it to have Elon bully a Cabinet level US government position in real time for them to call him right fucking now.

I keep thinking how much of NC would have been hidden if Mush hadn't bought twitter.

Kek, he is already doing the "Department of Government Efficiency" job he said he'd do. I bet you this faggot is assblasted about it and not in the way he likes. It only took him around 4 hours.
 
I hate to sound this way but this is a very politically poisoned way to view the 2008 financial crisis and the so called recovery or resolutions set in place afterward. The reality of it is that its much larger than a president can reasonably handle, and to realistically recover from the 2008 crisis would be to actually allow losers to lose, which would destroy the economy, not only in America, but globally; in fact, it may even depeg the dollar as the global reserve currency if true ramifications of the the collapse of the housing market was realized.
This is a valid criticism of my post. I was not trying to downplay or minimize the reality of the 2008 crash - it was a smaller part of the larger point I was trying to make about the 2016-2020 economic recovery in the US.
 
FEMA has always been bitch-made.

The biggest thing they do is show up and take up hotel space and kick everyone out. They also seize control of the airports and any major transportation hubs.

The second thing they do is set up "rescue stations" in conjunction with the Red Cross. The United Way shows up soon after. They move dozens if not two or three hundred 'representatives' that take over hotels.

IF the disaster is big enough (Oregon Wildfires/St. Helens/Hurricane Hugo/Andrew/LA Riots/1992 LA Earthquake, Texas Wildfire, Olympia Flood Plains) they seize control of fuel sources, often telling gas stations they can't sell. (Which has some basis, you have to check the underground tanks, make sure the gasoline isn't contaminated, but they don't trust local testers, state or county, they make you wait two or three weeks before testing it. They can also condemn your tanks. Forever. If FEMA condemns your tanks, its over. No more gas station for you)

They seize control of donations as well as any stockpiles. Here's the fun part: Only "approved vendors" can submit supplies, and there's no pressure on these vendors to provide supplies. If they do, they do, if they don't, you're shit out of luck.

They also tell people to leave their homes, often BEFORE insurance gets there. Insurance companies love FEMA, because the insurance companies can claim the property was unguarded, which fucks with your claim. FYI: Your chances of an insurance company paying out a claim during a natural disaster is EXTREMELY low. They used to pull "act of God" on you.

They turn you down for the dumbest shit too. Have homeowners or renters insurance? No help for you. Wait for insurance to turn you down.

The National Guard and FEMA butt heads a lot. Nasty Girlz are local, so they know their way around. FEMA looks at maps and determined routes. FEMA also doesn't like people helping themselves or their neighbors and try to get the Nasty Girlz to strongarm locals doing any relief effort. FEMA security can be OK sometimes, but other times they're raving cocksuckers on a power trip who were too chickenshit to join the military and are now getting their inner Hitler on.

Active Duty gets brought in when shit gets spicy. If the Nasty Girlz and FEMA are running into armed groups, they like to cry for Active Duty to help. Most of the time it's infantry guys, not combat engineers, MP's, medical, or logistics guys.

And infantry guys are dumb as fuck. They'll ignore locals and drive an entire convoy into a flooded road and lose half the vehicles while the FEMA dork screeches. Then the infantry CO acts like an asshole because 'nobody warned him' even if the Nasty Girlz warned him, the locals warned him, and God himself showed up to warn the half-wit cocksucking bullet catcher.

The whole time FEMA is making everything more complicated, disposing of donated supplies in such a way you can't dumpster dive it, and going on power trips.

Then, when it's over, and it's mostly local services at the state and county and civilian level, they dance around talking about how great they did.

All in all: Fuck FEMA. All my homies hate FEMA.
 
You know the old saying, "the difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans think that Democrats are stupid, and that Democrats think Republicans are evil"?

Yeah, that's no longer the case anymore. I 1000% believe that Democrats are evil at this point. How else do you explain what's going on with the hurricane "relief"? It can't just be incompetence.
