FEMA not doing much to help those affected by hurricane Michael

Complaints of lack of help are starting to trickle in:

Down the street, Barbara Sanders stood outside her daughter’s unit, where she had come to stay during the hurricane.

“We’re not getting any help,” she said. “We need food. It’s just crazy.”

Sanders said that not a single relief agency had come by to check on them. Only the police had come and it was to tell everyone to leave. “They told us there’s nothing they can do and it’s gonna take a long time to rebuild,” Sanders said.

Donald took almost $10million from FEMA to build cages for babies and children.

Those cheap cages still cost money and my friends need to make a profit.

in no time. He'd be filling out insurance papers saying the loss value is 50 × the actual value of losses. This is what he did to get away with not paying taxes on properties or ripping off minority renters, except then he was saying his buildings were worth less.

because of Hurricane Michael.

On Kauai we were lucky enough to have our Hurricane Iniki in '92 when the Admin cared about people instead of their big fucking ugly self.
