If someone says “where’s the federal government right now??” They’re there. The national guard was literally fixing power lines as we left and we passed a ton of government trucks on their way in. They’re handing out water right now. No one has signal to post about it. Fund more FEMA, fewer bombs

I was talking with George Kateb about my argument in the attached this weekend. He said “but there used to be Hitler and Stalin!” And I replied “and before them, there *weren’t* Hitler and Stalin…” ebbs and flows, and often, as you say, each for some of the same causes. www.vox.com/2019/3/27/18...
