      It really shouldn't baffle you. The government likes to pretend they care about people, but they really don't. If they sincerely cared, we would have a functioning public healthcare system, strict environmental protection laws, frequent inspections on industrial manufacturing/power plants, and most of all, a government that does things for the good of the common people, not so the rich can line their own pockets at everyone else's expense. The US government cares about how quickly they can make money, and will work towards that goal at all costs.

      The trailors have some value to those who cant afford better, and certainly helped with the immediate need for shelter after the huricane that displaced millions of people. Shelters are neither free cheap or quick to build.
      Buildup of toxic levels of formaldehyde can be mitigated with plants, venting air, and activated carbon air filtration that works very well in a small space like these trailors.
      Excessive amounts of formaldehyde is not a problem in just FEMA trailors. Excessive amounts can be found in cigaret smoke, pratically all newly painted surfaces, new cabinetry, carpets, new furneture, and almost everything newly made .
      Your initial comment alludes to the real problem. That many people are unaware of that longterm exposure to excessive amounts of formaldehyde can cause health problems. They are unaware of where it might come from, and unaware of how to mitigate it.
      Certainly formeldehide is a problem, but it is a byproduct of a lot of manufacturing, and is not going away anytime soon. This makes education on it and how to mitigate it more important than to slam the government for providing these shelters, or for selling them when they were done with them. What is and was needed reguarding the tailors is education on formeldahide, what has lots of formeldahide, and how to mitigate it in your living enviroment.

      Yet sadly, in spite of knowing the truth, there will be those whom are unable to do anything about it. Be it the continued financial crisis or a lack of alternative resources, there will be those who cannot do anything but stay exactly where they are.
      The love of money is the root of all evil, and the evil of what these companies have done is beyond comprehension. However, and sadly so, this is not the only example of the "love of money" having serious consequences for those without. Again and again, "the people" pay the price for the greed of others... and it will only continue, as there seem to be little to no consequence for the wicked actions and/or agendas of the so called ruling elites.
      This entire realm is under the control of the fallen, including the individual governments, agencies, commissions, conglomerates, associations and networks, all working together to bring about their "new world order", as spoken of by the heads of the aforementioned... yet so many still refuse to see. We must open our eyes and our minds to the harshest of realities, we are viewed as nothing more than chattel, useless eaters and breeders, and those who see themselves as our overlords will never have our interests at heart, never mind our "best" interests.
      All that we see happening in this world today, the issues amongst nations, the issues surrounding borders, the issues surrounding gender identity and sex, the seemingly attempted grooming of young children, the lawlessness, the marked "coldness of heart"- whilst simultaneously claiming "love", "tolerance" and "inclusion" for all, the political extremities, the current and coming famines, the mass deaths of marine life, the earthquakes in diverse places, the pestilence, the diseases, the increased knowledge in virtually all areas and the breakthroughs in genetic engineering, all of this was written of in the ancient texts we now possess... the accuracy of which is stunning indeed.! We were forewarned of these days many, many centuries ago, an act of loving mercy that we may prepare ourselves, not only past days and what has already come to pass, but also for what is yet to come. Lord have mercy. We were warned not to trust those in positions of power within this realm, that such powers were wicked and their deeds nefarious. We were warned not to have deelings with those dark powers, that we not face the same judgements that will befall them.
      The last time this realm was judged on account of the evil and wickedness within, it was with water in the form of the great flood. Noah warned the people about what was to come, and he was mocked and scorned for his efforts... right up until the rains began to fall. The next time, the time to come, it shall be with fire... and those whom are now mocking and scorning those who are trying to warn them, they will not be mocking and scorning when the first flames appear.
      If you do not know Jesus of Nazareth, Yeshua Hamashiach, the only begotten son of our heavenly Father, now is the time to pray to him that he makes himself known to you... for he is the ONLY means by which we can be saved. Sadly, the churches were infiltrated years ago and the overwhelming majority of them preach false gospels and a false Jesus. Our Lord Jesus accosted the "religious" of his day, drawing attention to their hypocrisies and their cold hearts. He took umbrage with the rich folks who had no love for those with nothing, or next to nothing, and taught that we ALL ought to care for the homeless, the fatherless, the widows and orphans, the infirmed and the deficient, that this was what love truly is. He spent his time with what society deems as the "undesirables", stating that he came for the lost sheep.
      Jesus loves you, more than you could possibly comprehend, with his love being the motive for the tortuous death endured... laying down his very life on that cross after already enduring the mockery, the scorn, the vitriol spewed, the anger, the double crossing by one of his own and the vicious flogging at the hands of the Romans... all of it, he chose to lay down his life as such, that our own penalties would no longer be necessary. Yet this was not the end, for three days later he rose, witnessed by more than 500 people and attested to in literature. There is evidence the world over for Jesus of Nazareth, including in the form of the official Roman documents... yet the mainstream and the deniers would have you believe otherwise.
      Knock and the door shall be opened unto you, seek and ye shall find. Ask Jesus to make himself known to you, read the words he spoke and the messages within his teachings. For as of right now, it is not too late... but this cannot be said forever. We are now living within the "end of days", and even now the beast system rises(see the book of revelation for confirmation about these days and the beast system-spoken of by the rulers and the elites as the "new world order", and/or the "one world order").

      Formaldehyde has never been banned from the manufacture of mobile homes. But the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which has jurisdiction over mobile home construction, began setting standards for the levels of formaldehyde used in their construction back in 1985. The current maximum level allowed in plywood is 0.2 ppm (parts per million), and for particleboard it’s 0.3 ppm. The EPA also recently set lower standards for all plywood and particleboard products that overrides the HUD standards. That said, there is no known HUD standard for the maximum allowed level of formaldehyde gas in the air in a new home. Because so many products, including cabinets and new furniture, combine with the construction materials to off-gas formaldehyde during the first few months after a home is constructed.

It could be beneficial indeed for their résumés after they get released, could help them get incorporated back into society more smoothly. The homeless could use some shelter too. As long as these housing projects dont end up being a new kind of ghetto i guess.

It’s huge and there is an outdoor kitchen with cabinets, sink, icebox and grill, thing is I know a few people who had a wait 7 days to get into their camper because they are spraying them with what fema is saying is a disinfectant for Covid…yeah right!!! We are not getting sick from the camper but my sun caught Covid last week, so who knows.

We had no choice but to bring our new born baby home to live in the trailer and still til this day he has unexplainable nose bleeds as do I and I never had but 1 nose bleed in my life before that. I’m lucky that my kids don’t have any lasting health issues like I have. We didn’t find out about the formaldehyde til we had already moved out.

They brought the units from here home because these guys were trained in patrolling the city durning and after hurricanes and since they were all from here, they had no desire to steal from the city. I have absolutely no reason to make this up, there is an article even explaining it and what all was done in the Army Times from that time period, I just tried pulling it up to post the link, but since I dont have a subscription to it, they arent allowing me to pull the article up. Try looking up "256th Infantry Brigade brought home from Iraq early in 2005 to aid in the patrolling of the city of New Orleans due to looting and loss of New Orleans police officers." 256th Infantry Brigade the entire brigade, but the actual unit that is specifically from here in New Orleans is the 1-141 Field Artillery, and the task force that lasted for 3 years consisting of soldiers from all over the state of Louisiana that were assisting in the recovery and aiding the NOPD in patrolling the city was called Task Force Gator, you can read all about it and see none of it was made up. I mean what the fuck do I gain out of making that up?

Trust me, I wish my husband wouldve been able to come home get his 6 weeks leave and then go back to normal duty, but we werent that lucky, they were brought home, got 5 days off and then had to report right back to duty to take over for the units from out of state.

    I bought one of these for cheap to use as a storage trailer, and it's insanely cheaply made. It's all particle board, and the humidity warps it. I fell through the floor once, and spent around 500 replacing it. Everything is held together with staples, and the walls are super thin. I basically had to gut the whole thing to the point I would have been better just selling it for scrap and using the money to build a shed

She complained for years of stomach aches and a funny taste in her mouth.. It ate her alive.. Ate out her sinuses.. She was totally pickled with cancer when she died.. Trailers are the worst things to live in for long term. I pray everyone had a way out of the Fema Trailers.

The news presenter ignores the man and changes the subject. Then there is footage of these fema shelters with barley anyone in them and all the beds haven't been touched. I always get bad vibes with Fema. If I was in a natural disaster I would definitely avoid Fema at all cost. The amount of times they screw up makes it seem like they want people killed.

      @Zeksteve You got the story wrong pal,FEMA,the feds,sold the trailers to an auctioneer,what do auctioneers do?They buy in bulk and resell for a higher price....The feds knew the trailers were toxic and yet they sold them KNOWING that they would be sold again,who's fault is it from the beginning?

      @Zeksteve Neither you or I have seem such terms,if they exist,but just the fact that many buyers didn't knew about the toxic state of the trailers when they bought them from FEMA makes me wonder about the whole deal.

    When issues are first discovered they should have been destroyed.

    It really takes a special kind of someone to willingly (no remorse or empathy), sell these trailers, to another human being (some possibly with families), knowning they're poison deathtraps.😔
