Oddbean new post about login | logout There’s aid for North Carolina, it just isn’t gonna come from the feds. Americans helping Americans. Neighbors helping neighbors. That’s where the soul of America lives, and this tragedy will help us realize that again.
Have seen reports of donations, made through school fund raisers, being confiscated to go to a general FEMA account. And volunteers are getting stopped from entering the impacted areas.
Heard these reports too, not sure how valid they, but local sheriffs are letting people help, and helpers are going around helping. Power companies are out fixing the power, lots of debris is already removed, Florida is sending their DOT to help, states helping states, counties helping volunteers, things are already healing. ❤️🩹 It’s just the feds that are making issues, because they’re incompetent with the clowns in charge.
