"The Hurricane Helene Hall of Shame"
October 07, 2024
When you tell me that FEMA and the federal government are not helping the victims of Helene I'm not surprised: I don't expect much from federal government disaster relief. (One could reasonably question why the federal--as opposed to state and local governments--should be involved in disaster relief at all.)
But when there are many reports that federal "assistance" is actively blocking relief efforts and further hurting the victims that sets a record-breaking new low. Here's one report. Here's a report that this is a problem that has some history. Here's a speculation about why (other usual government incompetence). And another speculation.
