 Geez, if only we still had all that money. 
 It’s bullshit what our congress and biden administration has been doing to undermine and destroy our country. 
 Yow

 BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have."

"Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?"

BIDEN: "No."
Government treating illegals better than their own citizens in crisis. What a disgrace.

I lived through Hurricane Maria, a Category 5 hurricane that hit Puerto Rico in 2017. If there's one thing I learned, it's that the government will not help you when you need it most. Years after the hurricane, they found warehouses completely full of supplies that were never distributed because certain people wanted to make the people in power look bad. One thing was certain, the help most people received was from private citizens and people helping one another. There are so many good people out there. It's the light you will see in dark moments, like natural disasters.

 And votes 
 Not to mention, genocidal settler colonial regimes! 
 I don't like government handouts for anyone, but if we are going to have them, I'd much prefer they go to the poor people who were devastated by Helene than to the illegals and criminals.  Those of western NC especially need help because it wasn't reasonable to expect them to be prepared for a hurricane, especially a gulf hurricane, to destroy them like this.  I feel a little less empathy for those who buy houses on the barrier islands on the coast where hurricane damage is to be expected.
