      TY😥 We are glad to have Starlink to communicate,🗣 the stars 🌃& a compass🧭 to show the way. My family come from the Overmountain Men. The American Patriot militia won🌟 the Battle of Kings Mountain⛰ in 1780, dying so that you could live in America. We know who we are, where we're from, we know where we're headed. My family will remain on the side of this mountain. ⛰

      It's not a governor's responsibility to provide taxpayer funded transportation to non-residents to return to wherever. A governor signs and executes state laws and deals with issues that are intercounty and intercity. The entire western part of NC up to about Charlotte was impacted. Roads and bridges all over were destroyed. Some small towns are gone completely. An enormous number of trees and power line poles were uprooted and downed. Who knows how many lost their homes, vehicles, and personal belongings.
      A sea of utilities crews and others from many US states and Canada poured into NC very quickly to help them. Even so, it still can take many months or longer to fix/replace just the public areas. It's long past time for people like you, who want gov bureaucrats and politicians to be your daddy, to grow up. It's long past time for people like you to stop idolizing braggarts who tickle your ears. The ones doing all the actual work never seek the spotlight. Suggest finding God and asking Him to give you a normal adult brain to replace the current one.

      ⁠​⁠@@AmandathePandaBooksfor the love of God, this historical, massive STATE of emergency declaration affects millions of people here in America that have been horribly impacted and affected after this unbelievable hurricane, the death toll continues climbing by the hour, MANY people have lost EVERYTHING including their homes AND businesses, they’re currently struggling because of the widespread, multi-state power outages, downed trees, heavily damaged or completely destroyed important roads and highways, they’re without food or drinkable water, fuel is scarce, the hospitals that are operational and staffed are overwhelmed and many children are facing schools that have been heavily damaged or they’re being used for temporary housing! YOU have NO CLUE about the number of human beings across almost TEN states in desperate, dire duress and in immediate need of every kind of services imaginable, this moment in time isn’t about the abilities and powers of an individual state, there’s still many people unaccounted for! STOP IT with your state tax nonsense, bullshit right now! EVERY storm victim needing any type of support to survive MUST RECEIVE IT immediately, in whatever way we can offer it, provided with the utmost sense of importance, urgency, decency, caring love and kindness and nothing less. And if ANYONE can’t offer that, they should immediately remove themselves from the ENTIRE SITUATION, zip their lips and gtf out of the way, PERIOD!
