    But it doesn’t cost 2.5B to repair a bridge. It’s like a quarter of that. And that would be paid out over a longer period of time

        What else would they use federal disaster funds for? Because that’s all we can send them

          federal disaster funds

          Literally anything. This whole place is a disaster.

              The United States? Yes. Maryland specifically? Also yes.

                  Baltimore also yes. They need to pour some money into the impoverished areas around the harbor, near the aquarium. Maybe spend a billion to get people houses and jobs so I’m not asked to buy handmade woven branch things and flowers every five minutes.

          If they can send it to Israel, why not Ukraine?

            Because Congress didn’t appropriate the funds that way?

              Ah, when it said “Biden Administration” and “quietly funded”, I thought it meant they could skip those assholes that are leaving Ukraine to die because their good-emperor is so far up Putin’s ass that he can see tonsil.
