Remember when the leftist press was saying Venezuelan gangs were not taking over apartments? Now its ok because its just a handful. 1. Its not happening. 2. its happening but its no big deal. <we are here 3. its a good thing that its happening. 4. how dare you object that its happening.

This is all really good engineering but is also Magic.

As has been noted, what with people being busy with relief work, they may not be well positioned to document any unfortunate activities with federal, state or local agencies whom are getting cross threaded with private citizens horning in on their rice bowl. And incidents may be entirely due to people being rubbed the wrong way vs official policies. As S2 underground noted, if the agencies were doing their jobs with no issues, why would they need to spend lots of money making social media and advertising pushes to bolster said narrative? All that noted, the DEI stuff from FEMA’s own mouths kinds makes the point for everyone.

Its about business.

Which has been my and others points for years.

A Geologist talks about the Debris flows due to helene.

Little Switzerland apparently received palletized aid shipment of electric chain saws from the Feds. This was one of the pallets dropped by a CH-47. There are 4 roads into little Switzerland by my recollection. A state road that crosses and the Blue ridge parkway. Apparently all 4 are out due to landslides..hikers can get in as can Helos . 226 se is washed out. Most of the northern state roads appear closed. This is bones of the earth rugged country. Easy to have a washout.

That very issue has been noted here before, many times.

DB. AFTER ridiculing me discussing reports from Brits how things are there, do not deign to ridicule us for noting from folks on the ground here how it works here. Some if us are in the states where issues are extant right now. You have exactly HOW much experience dealing with US federal agencies? Feel free to discuss sure. But full on dismissal? After all the various diatribes at me? You, aren’t here. Don’t tell us how it really works when it comes to how the federal government works. Simply put, the stretch of land between Asheville and Johnson city is some of the most remote land east of the Mississippi. I have driven that route many times. Without I26 there’s one road. And with those washed out and power out there is no cel coverage at all. Without I26 it might as well be further than London to Berlin. This is long drive in the US territory, not ‘long’ drive in the UK. Sure, reporting to FEMA on a web page to be talked through is going to go REALLY well. FEMA also has a staffing issue. And they apparently knock off at 5 on Fridays.

Unless it involves Nuclear..But that's not considered "sustainable". Carbon Neutral, yes. Meanwhile, in Italy, Meloni has had enough...

Trump Russia Collusion? Not sure what you want here. You want something that Trump did? How about letting in 10 Million Migrants as "refugees" and then dumping them on various communities with some degree of drivers licenses granted with out testing AND motor voter forms being offered at random?

Afgan 'refugee' who hatched a terror plot was ON their radar.....

Which is not at all. The UN is a two bit country boy's club that is rife with corruption with the peace keeping forces being a keystone of that corruption. The US pays money in and smaller countries send barely qualified troops to act as peace keepers who do more harm than good. Which means that when Hezbollah or Hamas plants a base UNDER a UN facility they STILL don't take sides except when they DO. See also UNRWA and how integral they are with Hamas. At this point I think the UN building would be best turned into River Front Condos.

There you go bringing logic into the mix when arguing with a rando on the internet. How dare you!
