Why are we not talking about the devastation in Western NC, TN, and other places?

Don't you guys always rant about getting the government out of your lives, deregulation and all that. Then something happens and suddenly it's all oh my god my puss hurts, fucking save me .. god damn blue states pay for my shit.
No .. go fuck yourself.

prisoner dilemma

i don't want the gov to give handouts to anyone.
but if they ARE going to give handouts, they should be distributed evenly and not to one political party.

complaining about obvious political bias, from IRS politically motivated audits, to FEMA skipping R flagged houses, to the DOJ prosecuting conservatives and giving liberals a pass, does NOT invalidate the larger argument that the gov is operating beyond its constitutional mandate.

frankly, that should be obvious to anyone with even room temperature intelligence.

Western NC get this kind of rapid response ?



President Biden on Thursday said the federal government will fully cover the costs of the disaster response to the wildfires raging across Los Angeles County.

The federal government will cover the costs for 180 days, he said.

“That's going to pay for things like debris and hazard material removal, temporary shelters, first responders salaries, and all of the safety measures to protect life and property,” he said. ”I want to underscore, I told the governor and local officials: spare no expense. And we're doing literally everything we can at the federal level."

Biden also announced that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has authorized 500 wildfire ground-clearing personnel from the Defense Department to assist local crews.

We were watching a video of a Fox News report that in one neighborhood the residents caught some a**hole on a bicycle going around with a propane torch setting fires. They grabbed him and held him until police came. He was released within 24 hours, citing "only circumstantial evidence". WTF????

Silly me. I thought this was the North Carolina thread.

I think it is appropriate to compare the full court press of the Feds for LA, while they ignore/ignored NC.

Biden has promised 100% funding for 6 months. Meanwhile they're still recovering bodies in NC, and local people are digging and sifting by hand to recover any body parts that got ground up in the meatgrinder of the floods.
