So according to this mass email I got from one of RI's congressmen, FEMA isn't giving anyone money unless they were denied a low-interest loan from the government or SBA first.
So that's right, they'd rather you borrow money and put yourself more into a loss because your home or business is completely destroyed, then grant you funds like they are supposed to. Holy shit.
There are over 2000 people in this state who are still displaced and may totally lose their houses. Now, compared to Katrina that ain't shit, but that's still nothing to snark at. It's not like Rhode Island has the money to do anything.
In other words, FEMA is a crock of shit, and I want to know where the FUCK my tax dollars are going if it's not to give these people their grant money that they fucking need to survive!
Wow, that's really garbage. Isn't this nation's working class already in enough debt?
Evidently not enough.
Fire. Lots of fire.
Dude, Dimo doesn't have a place to sleep right now and they pull this shit?!
It's going to take more than fire.
That's bullshit, how is he getting by? Fuck.
But, but if the government helps the poor people, then that's socialism. And then the USSR will reform and enslave all the decent Americans™

I think most of his house is fine, just not his room, which was in the basement. Lol.

Dude, my back is tweaked from sleeping on couches and floors. FEMA gave us some money, then took it back because our insurance covered a lot of stuff. TBH, by the time this is all said and done, I'll be a little better off. The money I'm getting is going to get me back into a vehicle, which will allow me to hold a real job. But I think that's bull-shit that FEMA won't fork over cash to those who really need it, in favor of loans that most folk will have a hard time paying back.
That's some third world shit right there. At least your insurance covered things.
When the rich screw themselves out of stupidity, we indiscriminately shoot money at them with a firehose, and when normal citizens get screwed by natural disasters they play monkey in the middle with relief funds.
