Wounded warrior wife in western NC here. The Propane company Blue Rhino has donated several large propane tanks for those in need and covering refills through the cold weather season so if anyone is unaware of it, please pass the info on! I’m on day 116 of volunteering to deliver donated and fully stocked camping trailers with food, clothing, bedding, hygiene needs, and a new generators with fuel. We have had people driving their campers in to donate a dwelling have had 2-10 a day at times. Anchor Ridge Church out of North Wilkesboro has been doing so many great things if any of my fellow western NC locals need help with something specific and they have established and helping people in Appalachia for many years. We are strong because we care for our neighbors and communities.❤❤❤

It’s wild to see this shit happening in our lifetime. I listened to my mom and grandparents talk about similar things happening. Appalachia has only ever mattered when they needed our coal. The coal wars just happened in the 1920s (google the battle on Blair Mountain)…people are still alive who were close to that. This is why when Obama started restricting coal mining it hit so hard. It is part of the story of how we ended up with trump… people were and are desperate for something else, anything else. Politicians haven’t had shit for a bunch of backwater hillbillies then or now. We are our own saviors the way it has always been. God bless Dolly Parton for giving us more good PR than we’ll probably ever see again.
@ Google it, use the verb regulate instead. Coal is a nonrenewable resource and I think it needed to happen in the big picture. But I’m a human first… people have a hard time when you take away their ability to feed their families. They threw out learning to code as an alternative to coal mining jobs. Which is extra laughable now that AI is advancing so quickly.
This is wishful thinking. I spent three years homeless because of a greedy landlady who is incidentally an immigrant and so is her whole family except the adult children.
This sounds like state government too. It is a land grab. The oligarchs see global climate change as an opportunity to move people out of their way to enrich themselves on the spoils.
Yes, Under this new administration, there will be no more FEMA. Day 1: U.S Constitution has been removed from the Federal Government website, .gov No more U.S Constitution, he just fired 12 I.G's, the watchdogs of all of the Federal Agencies 😮. No help is coming. 😭
You need to truly interview FEMA as to what these people have brought up. The questions aren’t being answered. Plus, question the governor as to where the $9 million from Congress is and how it will be used. They approved $9 million in the bill to stop a shutdown. (Dec.) Where is that money?

@crystalhutchison8546 What funds? Republicans voted to cut funding. Now Trump wants no funding. Do you mean tax dollars from the working class meant for funding? Because MAGA is definitely pocketing tax dollars at an alarming rate.
Oh but seeing the love and generosity and support coming from the people the community the neighbors and volunteers that a lot of times are the ones that actually lost everything, but seeing everyone come together has totally renewed my faith in humanity! If any good comes from this, it's made us stronger and more resilient (if we survive!) but it's also brought us family and friends we didn't know 6 months ago. But I totally get what you are saying. I have come to the honest conclusion, they aren't human. There is no soul no compassion.
I couldn’t let your comment about capitalism go without saying this; and I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. The fact is that in today’s world, some people use the word ‘predatory’ in connection with capitalism to create the illusion that there’s a form of capitalism that isn’t inherently predatory; but in fact, capitalism doesn’t even work without the opportunity for exploitation, which is the very nature of the predator: to take advantage of, exploit or prey upon the disadvantaged, the disabled, those in need of healthcare, childcare, education, food, shelter, transportation, and disaster relief, etc, and the financially or otherwise vulnerably handicapped. This is the reason that capitalists don’t consider climate change as a threat. They consider it to be opportunistic; and what the United States calls competition is rightly perceived by China as confrontation; because where there’s competition, there’s ALWAYS a winner and a loser; and quite often, more than one loser. Rightly or wrongly, however, it certainly is NOT, nor can it be seen as an effort at cooperation. After all, no predator has ever been known to cooperate with its prey. The capitalist system depends on a growing economy (or profit expansion) to work properly, but the banking system is based on the creation of debt which gets back to the predatory nature of capitalism. It just doesn’t work for the working class. It only works for those who are never in debt because they’re already wealthy. It funnels wealth from the bottom up, keeping those at the top from ever going broke, and those at the bottom constantly in need. The economic model of capitalism is intended to create scarcity, which is why the Reagan administration came up with the idea of what they labeled as ‘supply-side’ (or trickledown) economics. It lends itself well to the enrichment of a few which tends toward the corrupting of the system through bribery and favoritism. Capitalism = unmitigated exploitation leading to the extinction of resources and life itself. There IS a BETTER way.. we need to abolish capitalism, but as long as we HAVE to cope with life in a capitalist system, it ought to at least be one that’s more equitable, because allowing the poor to afford to live comfortably is beneficial to not only the poor, but since capitalism funnels wealth from the bottom up, it’s also beneficial to those at the top.
@@menudobucket9837 Absolutely 💯 If you want to knoow what kind of people prosper in that system, look up the 5 traits of dark personality. There are some good videos on that rather new "model", as there are with the 3 traits model of dark personalities. It helps to understand. There are 2 names for systems ran by,,, people with those traits, but I'm not allowed to mention them and many others, or sels this would vanish. It's part of the system.... ✌
@@menudobucket9837 Capitalism is also part of people spending their own mooney to develop things, products and gooods, that people need. They use their own money to build a factory, open a store, dig a coal mine or drill a well, and they produce things that people want. You don't think they should make a profit and get back the money - sometimes millions of dollars - that they put into the project? I have to ask, what world do you live in where all this work gets done for free. One that uses slave labor?
@@Singlesix6~ 😂 Don’t be ridiculous. The way new startups are created is primarily by using opm (other people’s money). Like I said before, that’s how capitalism works. Nevertheless, if you like being at the bottom and supporting those at the top, then be my guest. That’s the best thing about a real democracy. You get to choose what you want to believe; but it’s best to make the right choices asap these days because what used to be our democracy is very near collapse. The wealthy don’t care because they think they have nothing about which to be concerned, and as long as they have lemmings to keep them afloat, they’re perfectly happy with the status quo. Anyway, best of luck to you. 🍀

This is the actually cost of capitalism, this is the very definition of externalities. People may not like to bring politics into it, but that is really the only solution. Only public policy can fix this the volunteers are saints but insufficient, and the state only operates on behalf of the bourgeois. This is why revolution is necessary.
This is the result of a corruption. Fema doesn't do what they are created to do. Someone's pockets are very fat. It isn't capitalism doing it, it's theft and greed of individuals.
Millions and billions of subsidies to billionaires but can’t seem to find the money to help victims of catastrophe. Shocking we live in a sadistic greed owned cess pool.
Don’t forget that FEMA was attacked by men who believed in conspiracy theories & disinformation. Soon to be eliminated with plans to turn recovery over to the states. I fail to understand how that would be better. If anything, FEMA funds should be increased & increase the number of workers. These catastrophes are too big to handle.

How is trump helping the people there? what kind of assistance is he sending? Are they worried that the present administration wants to disban FEMA? and what is he doing with the $$$ so sad losing everything
Sept 28 or 29 Trump and Franklin Graham met and started filling trucks with supplies for that whole area. Trump donated $25,Million that same day. Samaritans Purse has been on the ground every day since then, plus many private citizens and churches. Now for fema! why did they TAKE AWAY THE ONLY HELP those people were given?? Why didn't the NC Governor declare an Emergency? So supplies could start moving and KEEP on Moving? Why didn't Governor get National Guard out on day ONE? I Don't care if Governor is D or R! The Governor took an OATH to protect EVERYONE! Not just a certain few, Democrats or Republicans or Independents! or certain Color Citizens. One last thing Why Did the oBrybem gov send billions of OUR money to other Countries instead of helping Our Citizens of America, Our Country?
Trump was there Friday. Biden was there when it happened, he had months, and did nothing. Turned fema into victims of abuse. Trump mentioned the money to local agencies, Samaritans Purse, etc
*Trump is going to eliminate FEMA and said when he was in California that The Governor Is Responsible For Relief!* *I myself suggest the people move from the area because IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND SOON!*
9:46 my mother lived in grand forks north dakota and the state didn't even want to evacuate everyone because then the state would've had to pay for everything. If grand forks wasn't such a big part of the state they wouldn't even have gotten fema. Local government doesn't want to pay, federal government doesn't want to pay, they should let people keep the money in their own pockets.
I think that you have no concept of the magnitude of this disaster! Thousands are displaced…one person have put up 100 people in RVs on his property…this is just one group! There is no town close either!
Maybe these people shouldn't have voted GOP. The Democratic governor requested $2.9 billion. The GOP dominated NC legislature gave less than $1 billion over three bills. In CA, the Democratic governor asked for $2.5 billion and got it from the Democratic legislature immediately in one bill.

You know Trump has just come into office,one week, this situation should have been taken care of by Bidens administration. This has gone one since September.
It's almost like you dimwits believe he has some magic wand. He was just there letting them know he cares, and he's gonna get help moving!! Your 50yr career criminal Biden screwed these people over and so did FEMA! Thats what DEI did to these storm victims...PROVEN FACT! All you keyboard junkies get over yourselves... he's been in office one damn week. TDS is definitely terminal!! 👈🤬
I'm just curious, how much help should FEMA provide? Should they go all the way in rebuilding towns? What is property insurance for then? If you weren't insured, then what? I think that FEMA can only do so much to provide a boost to get people back on their feet. I donate to Feeding America and help when I can.
Before Trump shuts it down, an investigation should be conducted on where the money is spent. To include all that are on salaries paid by taxpayers. The name, location, education, and salaries of all on site in North Carolina, to include contractors.
If she knows WHY (which was going to be my first question - like you asked) Why will she not say what the reason(s) were for FEMA taking away their showers and ability to wash clothes?????
She did say why - FEMA has been intentionally blocking rescue efforts for the community. This is not the only place they have hurt/blocked rescue efforts.
FEMA people just don't care. They took the disaster relief station from Swannanoa. There are only three left. Riceville rd. Old 70, Black Mountain and one near Reynolds highschool.
I do want to thank all the great Americans that came to help. The Amish built tiny homes. The Menenites from Fort Wayne Indiana. The Menenites from Ohio. We here in Western NC thank all of you for helping 🙏 You are loved and appreciated. ❤
My tax dollars get used to build for profit prisons, where said prisoners will pick fruits/veggies for free, so the evil oligarchs will get all the profit (the prisoners will not be paid and the US taxpayer will not be reimbursed) - pure profit for the evil robber barons. Thanks for reminding me to buy all my food at my local farmers market!!! Private prisons should be illegal.
This shit happened on the dems watch and the fact is all of these disasters that have taken place when dems were in control the same shit happened, we spend more money in hiring people to do a job that never gets done, we spend more on red tape then actually helping people, the same for the welfare system or any other system the government gets involved in.
Lost every thing in ian. Still havent found a place to live.. i am in an apt by direct housing but had to sign a lease and when we leave i will be tesposible for an thing that is damaged. This is so strangr.
Exactly, two sides of the same coin. You can't tell them that though, go to any channel who has been reporting on the recovery and they're all defending Trump even though he's done literally nothing to help them.
The problem is too many in Congress don't believe in helping people unless there's something in it for them. The Appropriations Committee (Chairman Tom Cole (R), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cole and the Ways and Means Committee (Chairman Jason Smith (R) waysandmeans.house.gov/members/ have to approve the funds and then the rest of Congress has to pass a bill to implement it and distribute them. Both of these Committees have a Republican Majority. FEMA on both federal and state levels is all disorganized on top of all that, so the logistics need fixing too. I have had some personal experience with that. In my state nobody seems to know what branch is responsible for what. It's a big mess, but ultimately Congress has to et on it and figure something out and then do something about it!
@ @Elizabeth-hd1kd Are you serious? Yes he's been in office a damn week and still has not mobilized any aid to them. What will you say after a month? You still going to be justifying his lack of help? You will, because you idolize him regardless of what he does.

NC doesn't have the funds to pay for it. They are depending on the federal funding for rebuilding roads. Homes and autos are dependent on consumer insurance paying for that.
Now you're only getting a taste of what the Palestinians had to deal with for months on end with little to no food you have whatever day you want to have
This must be why FEMA is on about FEMA after going there. I have FEMA is fails since. Katrina, over and over again FEMA has failed. We need to have a more.competent response team. It's possible. But it should not all be on the state.

It the state wanted the land they could just take it, it could be private interest that is leaning on the government to force people out. The the state itself could just take it with eminent domain. The biggest fault of the state, not the politicians, but the actual people who run the state machinery, is that they’ve been utterly defunded by the general libertarian trend of Amerikkkan politics. FEMA I doubt can keep up with the level of emergencies it’s faced with, regardless of what orders their given by politicians.
Mitchell Co WNC here and just wanted to let folks who were denied the 750 ….after going to DRC several times I was finally told “with so many coming in with denials for even the 750, we have looked into it and there was an issue with the online application software for this particular disaster and folks were denied who actually qualified “ The remedy was supposed to of been , “you can do a verbal appeal here instead of going through the cumbersome appeal process and you should see funds deposited in a few days” that was 67 days ago and my application is sitting on pending. I was then told “well you appealed so it can take up to 90 days” IMO the “glitch” was on purpose so fema could stall even longer! Disgusting

I couldn’t let your comment about capitalism go without saying this; and I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. The fact is that in today’s world, some people use the word ‘predatory’ in connection with capitalism to create the illusion that there’s a form of capitalism that isn’t inherently predatory; but in fact, capitalism doesn’t even work without the opportunity for exploitation, which is the very nature of the predator: to take advantage of, exploit or prey upon the disadvantaged, the disabled, those in need of healthcare, childcare, education, food, shelter, transportation, and disaster relief, etc, and the financially or otherwise vulnerably handicapped.
This is the reason that capitalists don’t consider climate change as a threat. They consider it to be opportunistic; and what the United States calls competition is rightly perceived by China as confrontation; because where there’s competition, there’s ALWAYS a winner and a loser; and quite often, more than one loser. Rightly or wrongly, however, it certainly is NOT, nor can it be seen as an effort at cooperation. After all, no predator has ever been known to cooperate with its prey.
The capitalist system depends on a growing economy (or profit expansion) to work properly, but the banking system is based on the creation of debt which gets back to the predatory nature of capitalism. It just doesn’t work for the working class. It only works for those who are never in debt because they’re already wealthy. It funnels wealth from the bottom up, keeping those at the top from ever going broke, and those at the bottom constantly in need.
The economic model of capitalism is intended to create scarcity, which is why the Reagan administration came up with the idea of what they labeled as ‘supply-side’ (or trickledown) economics. It lends itself well to the enrichment of a few which tends toward the corrupting of the system through bribery and favoritism. Capitalism = unmitigated exploitation leading to the extinction of resources and life itself. There IS a BETTER way.. we need to abolish capitalism, but as long as we HAVE to cope with life in a capitalist system, it ought to at least be one that’s more equitable, because allowing the poor to afford to live comfortably is beneficial to not only the poor, but since capitalism funnels wealth from the bottom up, it’s also beneficial to those at the top.

If you want to knoow what kind of people prosper in that system, look up the 5 traits of dark personality.
There are some good videos on that rather new "model", as there are with the 3 traits model of dark personalities.
It helps to understand. There are 2 names for systems ran by,,, people with those traits, but I'm not allowed to mention them and many others, or sels this would vanish.
It's part of the system.... ✌
@@menudobucket9837 Capitalism is also part of people spending their own mooney to develop things, products and gooods, that people need. They use their own money to build a factory, open a store, dig a coal mine or drill a well, and they produce things that people want. You don't think they should make a profit and get back the money - sometimes millions of dollars - that they put into the project? I have to ask, what world do you live in where all this work gets done for free. One that uses slave labor?
@@Singlesix6~ 😂 Don’t be ridiculous. The way new startups are created is primarily by using opm (other people’s money). Like I said before, that’s how capitalism works. Nevertheless, if you like being at the bottom and supporting those at the top, then be my guest. That’s the best thing about a real democracy. You get to choose what you want to believe; but it’s best to make the right choices asap these days because what used to be our democracy is very near collapse. The wealthy don’t care because they think they have nothing about which to be concerned, and as long as they have lemmings to keep them afloat, they’re perfectly happy with the status quo. Anyway, best of luck to you. 🍀

WHY ISNT THE GOVERMENT OF NORTH CAROLINA DOING ANYTHING....?
Bc they are all in on the land grab, what's so hard understand about that? They need what's under their feet to build the 🤖🤖🤖🤖
Because help is filthy socialism.
maybe re-think who you vote into office
Cause people there aren't willing to pay MORE of they tax dollars to help what they think are Hicks in the sticks. 🙄
Also, them region has gud minerals.
Where are the rich to help?? It feels like only the poor that cant help feel for these people.
This breaks my heart 💔
Trailers are little human refrigerators in the cold. The coldest I've ever been, it was below zero and I was in a motor home. It was miserable. Dt just said he's dismantling FEMA. FEMA did help. They need to be more organized and supplies needed to be packed and ready to go as soon as the wind died down. They don't care about us. Dismantling the WHO AGAIN?? WHY??
The people SC spoke with said Fema, under Biden, came for 30 minutes. It's all a facade.
Both democrats and republicans are about SMALL GOVERNMENT.
Unless it's Israel or Ukraine.
Republicans have been starving FEMA for decades, while the Climate Crises is on supercharge...
Funds for FEMA & Ukraine come from completely different funding. It’s up to the do-nothing congress to allocate funding.
@@carpediem44the progressives and democratic socialists are the only ones that are truly for the people...fox and Republicans call them socialists to scare you away. Learn about them.
I’m in NC .. been following the state house bills to release FEMA NC.. I’m not dem or republican.. better check on your republican house members and ask why they keep voting NO on releasing funds. Go to NC state house bills
This is the actually cost of capitalism, this is the very definition of externalities. People may not like to bring politics into it, but that is really the only solution. Only public policy can fix this the volunteers are saints but insufficient, and the state only operates on behalf of the bourgeois. This is why revolution is necessary.
This is the result of a corruption. Fema doesn't do what they are created to do. Someone's pockets are very fat. It isn't capitalism doing it, it's theft and greed of individuals.

@@katiekane5247 Disgraceful 😢
@@katiekane5247Of course it’a a mere photo op. Trump said he thinks FEMA must be eliminated.
Don’t forget that FEMA was attacked by men who believed in conspiracy theories & disinformation. Soon to be eliminated with plans to turn recovery over to the states. I fail to understand how that would be better. If anything, FEMA funds should be increased & increase the number of workers. These catastrophes are too big to handle.
How are they getting high water and electric bills if they have no water and electric?
Probably some people are still in homes even though they are damaged!
Maybe trucking in drinkable water & gas for generators
@@lorilee8591 - in Flint, MI they were getting the HIGHEST water bills in the country while the water was unusable. This is our capitalistic system that is privatized FOR PROFIT instead of a human right.
That’s a very good question. But power companies have added extra costs to cover things here. Water bills where pipes were busted and ppl didn’t even because they were under ground and the ppl were not home.
@@angeladansie4378 SO WHAT. These people are living in substandard, life-threatening conditions and should NOT have to pay for their suffering.
How is trump helping the people there? what kind of assistance is he sending? Are they worried that the present administration wants to disban FEMA? and what is he doing with the $$$
so sad losing everything
Many trucks could have been delivered by now with building supplies and helpers.
Sept 28 or 29 Trump and Franklin Graham met and started filling trucks with supplies for that whole area. Trump donated
$25,Million that same day. Samaritans Purse has been on the ground every day since then, plus many private citizens and churches.
Now for fema! why did they TAKE AWAY THE ONLY HELP those people were given?? Why didn't the NC Governor declare an Emergency? So supplies could start moving and KEEP on Moving? Why didn't Governor get National Guard out on day ONE?
I Don't care if Governor is D or R! The Governor took an OATH to protect EVERYONE! Not just a certain few, Democrats or Republicans or Independents! or certain Color Citizens.
One last thing Why Did the oBrybem gov send billions of OUR money to other Countries instead of helping Our Citizens of America, Our Country?
@@lilcricket4379 the private Citizens from Many different States ARE Doing just that already! Government Paperwork is much tooooo DarN slooooo!
Trump was there Friday. Biden was there when it happened, he had months, and did nothing. Turned fema into victims of abuse.

*I myself suggest the people move from the area because IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND SOON!*
actual reporting
😢what a mess. Heartbreaking devastation...
STAND FIRM AND HOLD THE LINE.
9:46 my mother lived in grand forks north dakota and the state didn't even want to evacuate everyone because then the state would've had to pay for everything. If grand forks wasn't such a big part of the state they wouldn't even have gotten fema. Local government doesn't want to pay, federal government doesn't want to pay, they should let people keep the money in their own pockets.
I think that you have no concept of the magnitude of this disaster! Thousands are displaced…one person have put up 100 people in RVs on his property…this is just one group! There is no town close either!
Hell yeah!!!
Maybe these people shouldn't have voted GOP. The Democratic governor requested $2.9 billion. The GOP dominated NC legislature gave less than $1 billion over three bills. In CA, the Democratic governor asked for $2.5 billion and got it from the Democratic legislature immediately in one bill.
Please Please Please share this! I beg you!
Told people fema is not there for us so many yelled at me ..i hope they r listening
Why has this happened? I'm shocked. Why does the Media say more about horrible neglect.
They are told not to
Excellent reporting!
This is why we must vote for third party candidates. Kick this two party oligarchy corrupt system out. Enough!!
Like it or not most people don't agree, or we wouldn't keep getting them.
You can't bc they own the banks where you put your money
Well you got your wish and FEMA will be gone so who comes to your aid then????

You know Trump has just come into office,one week, this situation should have been taken care of by Bidens administration. This has gone one since September.
It's almost like you dimwits believe he has some magic wand. He was just there letting them know he cares, and he's gonna get help moving!! Your 50yr career criminal Biden screwed these people over and so did FEMA! Thats what DEI did to these storm victims...PROVEN FACT! All you keyboard junkies get over yourselves... he's been in office one damn week. TDS is definitely terminal!! 👈🤬
If we lived in Ukraine or Israel we’d be drowning in assistance from usa tax dollars.
EXACTLY
I'm just curious, how much help should FEMA provide? Should they go all the way in rebuilding towns? What is property insurance for then? If you weren't insured, then what? I think that FEMA can only do so much to provide a boost to get people back on their feet. I donate to Feeding America and help when I can.
Amen. Very well said, and explained. True. Similiar going out here. WNC resident. 20 min outside Asheville.
Before Trump shuts it down, an investigation should be conducted on where the money is spent. To include all that are on salaries paid by taxpayers. The name, location, education, and salaries of all on site in North Carolina, to include contractors.
EXACTLY
If she knows WHY (which was going to be my first question - like you asked) Why will she not say what the reason(s) were for FEMA taking away their showers and ability to wash clothes?????
She did say why - FEMA has been intentionally blocking rescue efforts for the community. This is not the only place they have hurt/blocked rescue efforts.
We’d have to ask FEMA how they could justify their horrible behavior
FEMA people just don't care. They took the disaster relief station from Swannanoa. There are only three left. Riceville rd. Old 70, Black Mountain and one near Reynolds highschool.
FEMA confiscated donations from Americans who drove in from other states. They also hired illegals to work at disaster relief stations.
I do want to thank all the great Americans that came to help. The Amish built tiny homes. The Menenites from Fort Wayne Indiana. The Menenites from Ohio. We here in Western NC thank all of you for helping 🙏 You are loved and appreciated. ❤
The government has 83 billion to give to private prisons geo group.
My tax dollars get used to build for profit prisons, where said prisoners will pick fruits/veggies for free, so the evil oligarchs will get all the profit (the prisoners will not be paid and the US taxpayer will not be reimbursed) - pure profit for the evil robber barons. Thanks for reminding me to buy all my food at my local farmers market!!! Private prisons should be illegal.
This is what SMALL GOVERNMENT LOOKS LIKE.
Appreciate your coverage
My beautiful friend Debora!
They want you gone. I saw a video where police took 35 heaters.
That's horrible!
The City should pay for the water and power bill, at least this.
Which should be free. They make money off free sources from our domain's creation.
You’re assuming the city can pay.
I got it .The Government giving them nothing ...
What is the NC Governor doing? Where is he?
EXACTLY!!!!
The GOP state congress voted to take away his power so he can't help. This is on YOU REPUBLICANS
I think he's deny people the right to build tiny houses as emergency shelter and having them removed, but I'm not 100 percent sure.
Please show the video they say they have pulling their power/water etc...
You can blame the GOP for voting against funding FEMA, blame yourselves for voting for that new regime because as a result now FEMA is now CLOSED
This shit happened on the dems watch and the fact is all of these disasters that have taken place when dems were in control the same shit happened, we spend more money in hiring people to do a job that never gets done, we spend more on red tape then actually helping people, the same for the welfare system or any other system the government gets involved in.

Don't get it twisted, this land WILL be taken.
Biden or Trump. It doesn't seem to matter who the president is in regards to helping the little people in this country, does it.
Exactly, two sides of the same coin. You can't tell them that though, go to any channel who has been reporting on the recovery and they're all defending Trump even though he's done literally nothing to help them.
The problem is too many in Congress don't believe in helping people unless there's something in it for them.
The Appropriations Committee (Chairman Tom Cole (R), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Cole
and the Ways and Means Committee (Chairman Jason Smith (R)
waysandmeans.house.gov/members/
have to approve the funds and then the rest of Congress has to pass a bill to implement it and distribute them. Both of these Committees have a Republican Majority.
FEMA on both federal and state levels is all disorganized on top of all that, so the logistics need fixing too. I have had some personal experience with that. In my state nobody seems to know what branch is responsible for what. It's a big mess, but ultimately Congress has to et on it and figure something out and then do something about it!
Wall Street controls the government but let’s see what Trump can do. He barely just got in office.
@@Thyalwaysseekhe's been in office one damn week and just visited to let them know help is coming! Get over yourself👈

Wondering myself
It the state wanted the land they could just take it, it could be private interest that is leaning on the government to force people out. The the state itself could just take it with eminent domain. The biggest fault of the state, not the politicians, but the actual people who run the state machinery, is that they’ve been utterly defunded by the general libertarian trend of Amerikkkan politics. FEMA I doubt can keep up with the level of emergencies it’s faced with, regardless of what orders their given by politicians.
Yep. Didn't have to wait for flooding rains and Tornadoes, to just take that land. Eminent Domaine.

I was then told “well you appealed so it can take up to 90 days” IMO the “glitch” was on purpose so fema could stall even longer! Disgusting
