    He literally just wants to avoid paying for CA wildfire recovery.

    The hilarious thing is that the biggest FEMA beneficiaries are red states and these climate change related disasters are externalities of the way red states do business.

      This would just help him avoid having to help every state. He would still make special arrangements to help the people who helped him. He’s entirely corrupt.

      Yeah, and those states will continue to get that aid when they need it.

      Really dont see why this is hard to understand.

      how many states have fully-staffed and funded equivalents ready to deploy on a moment’s notice to a large-scale emergency? probably count 'em all on one hand, while simultaneously giving lord diaper the bird.

      ‘federal’ assistance will be there in time for hurricane season.

        Who is going to hand out that federal assistance, my guess it goes to the rich instead of the needy. Oligarchs will take it all.

        I assume all states have a state level Emergency Management Agency - they must, right? Right?

        It’s the funding that’s the hard part. Just like any other insurance type of scheme, there will be incidents too big for the individuals to manage, which is hey we pool our funds to better handle them. I’m sure there are local emergencies they’re ready for, but what moron really thinks their state is prepared to handle a major hurricane, for example

        No it wouldn’t. He already said he wants to move to a direct grant model. Red states get more, blue states get nothing unless they make conservative concessions.

      That information only comes from looking into this at more than just a surface level and developing an opinion based on your gut, which Trump is incapable of doing. So the red states are screwed.
