    We’re going to literally start losing cities in the next few years, aren’t we?

      bloomer: people will build dual power through mutual aid groups, that’s easier than fully abandoning your city

    Vote for me? Money for you.

    Don’t vote for me? Die in a flood.

    Very normal behavior from the Federal Government

    So it’ll 100% follow the rule of us-foreign-policy depending who the majority demographics of the area hit by natural disasters instead of whatever metrics FEMA was using?

      Probably not going to even do that. They will cut it and then not give out money at all.

          Landlord whose slum barely worth the land it was built on collapses: here’s $42million dollars of aid. Good luck humble businessman!

          People permanently injured/families of those killed in said slum collapse: fuck off you should have rented a better house if you didn’t want to be killed when it fell down. Pull yourself by your bootstraps or eat shit and die.

    On Tuesday, Trump said he plans to “wean” states off of FEMA. “A governor should be able to handle it, and frankly, if they can’t handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor,” Trump said.

    Yeah when your house gets carried off into the sea we should hold a snap election amongst the flood waters and debris.

      Don’t worry, they’re drafting a strongly-worded letter as we speak.

    Even if they actually fairly distributed the money that FEMA would’ve cost (lmao), what the fuck is that supposed to accomplish? Hey you’re stranded in a flooding city, here’s some cash. Buy your way out.

    I made a “mafia style shakedown” joke before he said he was scrapping FEMA. What comes after a mafia style shakedown?

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
