Texas is being battered by a winter storm, causing rolling electrical
blackouts while unplowed streets have people trapped at home without
heat or water. At least 2.5 million people don’t have power in the
state, several times the number that lost power during Hurricane Harvey,
with record winter demand in the cold weather and turbines and other
equipment freezing.

In response, President Biden has approved an emergency declaration,
authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency “to coordinate all
disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the
hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population,
and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures,”
with 75% federal funding.

Yeah FEMA will get right on it.
By the time they do anything the snow will melt and the daffodils will
be blooming.
FEMA is great at hauling away the debris a month or two later but
don't count on them to do much right away.


Why is it the Federal governments place to fix this? Does Harry want them
to plow the streets in Rochester, MN when a big storm hits? Lots of boats
damaged and sunk in Oregon from the ice storm collapsing roofs over boat
moorings and also sinking the dock from weight, pulling the boats under..
Instead of the boat owners insurance, and people there working on the
cleanup. Harry, any your taxes, so we can give it to the boat owners and
banks holding the paper.

As has been previously noted, you loonytarians hate all manner of
government and crap on it at every and any opportunity. There's no point
in trying to explain federal government disaster assistance to the likes
of you, but I am sure if a serious widespread disaster struck your
house, you'd be fighting for a place in line for federal help. There's
no one more hypocritical than a Republican loonytarian.

They are way down the hypocrisy ladder compared to a socialist liberal like you who
wants big gov to do everything for everyone but won't pay their taxes to help fund it.
