David Strom writes for HotAir.com about one factor that likely affects FEMA’s struggles dealing with the impacts of Helene.
I have long thought that one of the hallmarks of an advanced economy is built-in resilience to shocks to the system.
As with so many things these days, that resilience has eroded to the point that, except in certain areas of the country like Florida, it hardly exists.
You have probably seen many of the same videos I have, in which North Carolina residents are begging for help and wondering where FEMA is. Aside from funding migrants, that is. It seems to be doing a fine job at that, exhausting the funds that should be going to help Helene’s victims.
Why is FEMA so awful? Or, should I say, why other than the fact that Alejandro Mayorkas, the most destructive man in America, is in charge of it?
According to FEMA itself, it’s #1 priority is no longer responding to emergencies but promoting Diversity, Equity, and inclusion.
As victims are suffering and dying in Appalachia, FEMA is focused on trans migrants of color who may feel uncomfortable getting help from religious organizations.
We can’t have a Christian or a Jew helping somebody unless they usher men into women’s bathrooms. Seriously.
FEMA is, as with every bureaucracy under the Harris/Biden administration, obsessed with microaggressions, affirming fetishists, and distributing benefits by race. Kamala Harris herself has said that disaster aid should be distributed by race in order to promote equity.
FEMA is so concerned that people are getting the right idea about their incompetence, red tape, and misapplication of resources that they are fighting “rumors” rather than saving people. Perhaps a trans woman of color with a bum leg and a pending asylum claim needed something to do, so they asked “her” to put together a page on misinformation.
