So how much fed tax money will be spent this year rebuilding and coddling stupid fûcks that live on the coast in a hurricane zone?
Not a hundred year flood where a river rises to unforeseen levels. Not a forest fire that went off the rails due to mismanagement. Not a random act of God.
How much will be sent to PR? How will they manage to squander, steal, and waste it this time?
Probably less than usual. I kinda feel sorry for DeSantas. Getting any kind of hurricane ain't gonna be easy on him. It's kinda like adopting a Haitian kid.
At least most Floridians have insurance. Still gonna cost but atleast it's America. PR will squander the money we send them. Hell, the place hasn't really recovered frome the last hurricane we gave them billions for.
They’ll punish Florida to make Desantis look bad. They’ll use federal money on a “social credit” system. PR will get all they want, probably statehood soon after too.
You can only qualify for repair/replacement if it's your primary residence.
If you're insured, you don't get none.
If you're a dead beat renter, they shovel it to you so you can become a dead beat home owner.
If you're already a dead beat home owner and have zero insurance on your primary swamp located home, FEMA brings you crisp hard cash by the truckload typically within 3 to 5 days after the related storm.
Don't ask me why I know this.
I've seen single wide 12x70 mobile homes magically turn into 3500sf sprawling waterfront estates after FEMA gets done fixin' them up.
They need to start naming hurricanes more appropriately. Names such as Bingo, Jackpot or Yahoo would be more fitting.

Right? And flood insurance ain't what people think it is.
Hurricanes aside I want some grasshopper disaster money!
Bummer, you guys need to have ya a Hurricane, or start calling FEMA to come take care of them hoppers.
Hi-Line Grasshopper Forecast Not Promising for 2022
Another problem this year is that USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) does not have any money available for cost sharing for rangeland treatment in the western U.S. Last year.
"It was pretty short for the amount of grasshoppers we had last year … That wasn’t going to be enough and it clearly wasn’t. And it is an undertaking to try and get that many planes contracted and all the paperwork done so that growers can get some help or relief spraying rangeland. That’s what that program is. It’s only rangeland. So state rangelands, BLM rangelands, and private rangelands. It does nothing for crops. For crops, there are insecticides that producers can look towards to try to mitigate the impacts of grasshoppers.”

Better than rebuilding infrastructure in third world scheit holes after we spent billions bombing the scheit out of it. Billions to Ukraine, billions paying off student loans, billions in welfare, trillions in the war on drugs, billions on climate change. 31 Trillion in debt, what the fugk does it even matter at this point. I say print, print, print. Grab every dollar the Fugkin idiots are willing to give you while you can.

All foreign aid should be stopped.
That’s a separate question from whether money taken at gu point should be used to rebuild for idiots that live in hurricane alley.
Why is it that this part sounds like some overpaid Federal douchebag saying 'I'm too lazy to do my job'?
it is an undertaking to try and get that many planes contracted and all the paperwork done so that growers can get some help or relief spraying rangeland.
Remember all those 5k prepaid they handed after Katrina..
That was a bunch of bullschit nationwide....
5 grand?
We're not even on the same planet here.
Yesterday I sat and listened to a guy bitching because FEMA capped him at $300K after Hurricane Hermine in 2016 put 8 inches of water in his double wide.
They’ll punish Florida to make Desantis look bad. They’ll use federal money on a “social credit” system. PR will get all they want, probably statehood soon after too.
Yep, a virtual certainty.................as for The Villages, probably far enough inland to be spared the brunt of the storm, at least I hope so, as my son is in Gainesville, so I'm hoping for the best for his family there.
The CEO of my company is in Ruskin on the SE side of Tampa bay & he says he's staying put, so I hope for the best for him too.
Buddy just closed on 2 houses in The Villages in the last month. One primary and one for a rental I believe. He’s sweating bullets right now.
My brother and his wife were ABOUT to close on a house twenty miles inland from Port Charlotte, and they ARE closing on their house and property in NY State.
No worries, during the transition process they have been renting a place in Port Charlotte.

I had no idea people from New York... moved to Florida.

His wife’s idea, always had been her intention soon as the kids were out, she grew up there.
My brother hit rock bottom way back when and joined AA. There he met a young woman, the daughter of a millionaire, who bore him three fine children. Plus he makes more retired than I do working.

Double wide trailer house, before FEMA.
After a quick, nifty FEMA fix up.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Hmm, after the historic floods in southeast KY a few months ago, FEMA told the hillbillies to go get fùcked. Entire communities are homeless and have nothing but the clothes on their backs. I think FEMA is going to help local govt rebuild their courthouses and jails though.
Don't know the details there but having a recorded deed in your name AND classified as your primary residence can be a major stumbling block for some in receiving FEMA funding.

Our doublewide was destroyed by flooding in June 2006. We did not have flood insurance as we didn't live in a floodplain. Our property hadn't been flooded in the last 100 years. We still owed 11K on it so still had to make the monthly payments to the bank or default on the loan, even though we could no longer live in it. It took until November 2006 {five months} before FEMA finally paid off the loan for us so we could start looking for a new place. Meanwhile we stayed with my inlaws {what a blast}. Paying off the loan on our destroyed home so we could start over with a new loan on a new place was all FEMA did in our case. We ultimately went from living in a doublewide that would have been paid off in two more years to a singlewide that took 12 more years to pay off. 90% of our belongings were destroyed. FEMA inspectors estimated our total loss, including furniture, appliances, TV, stereo, etc. etc. at 184k. Many things were destroyed that just can't be replaced. Perhaps the worst being all the family photos from when my kids were little. Yeah, we made out like bandits and it was grand. I highly recommend the experience for everyone.

When I worked as a subcontractor post Katrina out of Gulfport,MS, Major Damage Flood was not designated below 11". It was a debacle to navigate the system then (for me as a newbie) and at least 30% of the inspections I did had a fraudulent feel to them!
