ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

I have a couple of honest questions I need help with, no politics intended in this:
1. Article says "The SBA offers low-interest loans to businesses, homeowners, and renters affected by declared disasters. Its loan
program provides affected homeowners with up to $500,000 to repair their primary residence, and up to $2 million for businesses to cover disaster-related losses." If everything is lost, how would they pay these loans back? If they were living at or below the poverty line, wouldn't taking these loans just cause them to have what little they are able to be rebuild just wind up being repossessed? And the other big question: if we are giving billions to other countries for humanitarian crises why is is necessary to burden our own people during their humanitarian crisis?
2. Article says "Biden said that FEMA will continue to perform its missions “within present funding levels” but urged Congress to provide additional resources.
“Without additional funding, FEMA would be required to forego longer-term recovery activities in favor of meeting urgent needs,” the president stated." Im confused here as well. What is more urgent than assisting them? What else is FEMA doing that is literally more important? I know the whole immigration angle, but this seems like the administration is saying that all FEMA help is about to shut off in favor of "more important things".
Not looking for the usual Pit one dimensional sarcasm, but something that is tangible. Because I haven't seen anything that nears a good reason.
