All federal support should be pulled from these rescue efforts. They dug their own river bed let them lie in it.
Yeah, fuck the victims because the corpo was greedy! /s
No. There was no corpos involved in this. This was a tragedy entirely of their own making. 2020 FEMA marks their shit in a flood plain. Biden offers them money for an alarm they turn it down because they don't want to be 'bought off' by Biden. Then the state offered them the same fucking money "but not from Biden this time". They turned it down again because they thought it was too expensive. Then they fired all the people that were supposed to answer the emergency calls. Then they had the buildings marked in a flood zone "mysteriously" no longer in the flood zone to avoid insurance issues. Fuck these people and you and everyone else defending this utter stupidity and wasting our money on idiots who don't deserve or want it.
Stop being a fucking enabler.
At least I'm not a heartless pos that cheers on dead children.
The time to "think of the children" was when the flood maps came out.
Wtf is even your point? They're literally saying that children deserved to die. Why are you coming up and defending them?
"if you're not omniscient, you don't get to be upset when something bad happens"
Pretty dumb logic. Can't think of the children potentially impacted by manipulated flood maps if you live across the world and don't know about said flood maps.
But now that children are drowning, your response is "fuck 'em, they should have looked at accurate flood maps". WTF!
Mexico is sending rescuers to help with the efforts, while FEMA emergency funds were diverted to build domestic concentration camps.
You don't fucking need omniscience for this. FEMA SAW IT COME 5 FUCKING YEARS AGO. Holy shit you people are fucking feeders.
Yes, we agree that it's the government's fault, we're simply disagreeing with the "fuck the kids they deserve to die, they shouldn't have voted for corrupt politicians that didn't give them accurate maps"
