If you’d actually been paying any attention to FEMA before now, you’d also know that the agency is facing a major budget shortfall, courtesy of the usual loathsome GOP lawmakers in Congress. thehill.com/business/bud...

I'm from Puerto Rico, and 7 years after hurricane Maria, Fema has only finished a fraction of what they set out to do, in part do to their budget shortfalls. There are other factors but that one's a big, glaring one.

But Faine, knowing that would get in the way of blaming Harris for not waving her magic wand and fixing everything instantly while also making an appearance!

I hope republicans voters are finding out how socialism is not the dirty word they’re being told it is.

"Government is the problem, not the solution. And if you elect me, I'll do my best to prove it." Similar vibe: "I think corporations suck. That's why you should hire me as CEO of your company."

Does no one remember FEMA director, horse lawyer, and heckuva job doer Michael Brown?

As an employee of another fed agency w some of the same issues-it’s not just low staffing and not enough $ to get things done. It’s institutional knowledge that’s been lost. So many people have quit, and the mgmt level is more concerned w moving around/getting promoted, not leading.
