POLITICAL THREAD

[Dore95]

If someone lives in a place that floods frequently they should have it under current requirements. However it should not be forced simply because a property flooded once. Especially not when much of the flooding was caused because the epa stopped the practice of dredging creeks and rivers.

Plus fema assistance is not intended to be a secret trigger for flood insurance. They give a homeowner a one time benefit of $750 for a disaster the government helped create, and in return the homeowner/victim now gets to pay 1500+ every year for flood insurance. How is that helping anyone?

I think we've seen from recent disasters (particularly, Helene/Ashville), though, that flooding happens in places far away from coastal areas. And I don't think the federal government should have a policy that differentiates between flood aid in my FL community and eastern KY. You would want them to say if my property floods, in order to get aid I have to buy flood insurance, but the same principal does not apply to Eastern Ky or Western NC?

As far as the "trigger" argument, I guess this is intended to be a prudent use of government resources. You wouldn't want the government to repeatedly pay the same person aid for flood damage when they could have purchased insurance. But like with many things, it seems unfair in certain circumstances in actual practice.

He’s a hypocrite. Cutting off the hand that feeds him, but he already has his so screw the workers. POS

Well, Trump may be the rare person who feels the need to “pull that off.” That is a meaningless move that may excite the sycophant, but holds no other productive purpose. Being presidential matters. It is a flaw of Trump that he is not. The fact he is not is the main reason why this race is close. He would have never lost to Joe Biden if he was presidential.

Think about that. We would not have suffered through the past four pathetic years if Trump was presidential.

I disagree with that being meaningless.

The government has numerous agencies that map floodplains and tell you what will flood. These suggestions get ignored. They are not convenient. If there's one thing there's a lot of expertise in in the government, it's flooding. USGS, USDA, FEMA, USACE all have top experts in flooding.

The best part of her completely awful attempts at answering anything is when you see her grin with that glimmer in her eye. That look tells you in that moment she thinks shes killing that answer.

Lol she's so stupid its incredible.

I absolutely loathe that woman.

Beyond the fact the government is involved in insurance, i have no issue with a flood prone property being included in the program. These are not flood prone.

They arent repeatedly paying the same person. Its a first time ever benefit, for which the person qualifies. These are not properties with a flood history and in fact many never flooded before.

The only qualifying element is they received a one time fema benefit. I guarantee if they were fully informed accepting this pittance would result in a massive negative outcome, they wouldn't do it.

The final piece of the stupid puzzle is the epa needs to stop their insane prevention of dredging. Especially in mountainous areas, run off builds up settlement in creek and river beds and needs dredged every year. Before, every year these communities would dredge early spring and/or late fall. Its along the same stupid lines as the prevention of cutting dead brush in California that leads to disaster.

I believe the Corps had a plan for the EKY area long before the most recent floods and no one put it into action. No one being government.

You would think a self-proclaimed history major would know that many immigrants changed their names to make them more American sounding in the 1900s. It is a pathetic ignorance to call that a grift and xenophobic. Congrats. Second time in one day. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Get out of the D-Sus bubble.

Trumps family did it 300 years prior to that.

Explain why the president of the U.S. would need to physically behave like that?

Resident Libs, where's your outrage over this? seems this would be a bipartisan issue, that rescuing American Citizens in a crisis would take precedent right now. Why is this Administration keeping people in desperate need from the help they need? Why are they keeping volunteers from helping?

Wait a second, Dionysus is blaming Donald Trump for “grifting” because his family changed their name hundreds of years ago and thats the name he was born with?

That’s even more retarded than what I thought he was claiming.

I had a classmate from HS tell me that she was worried for her son's safety ... because he is mixed and she thought "trump the raaaaysist" was going to round up all the blacks and put them in camps.

TDS is real and the Democrats have perfected mis/disinformation (aka lies).

You would think that after having Trump as president for 4 years and nothing remotely close to any of the fear mongering happening came true, that libs would realize how stupid they looked and tone that crap down. This requires self awareness though, and a lack of it is requirement number 1 for joining the leftist cult.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

I believe the Corps had a plan for the EKY area long before the most recent floods and no one put it into action. No one being government.

Much of the flooded area was a former corp project when they completely relocated an entire part of a county so they could build a reservoir to relieve flooding in counties downstream. That was in maybe the 50s or 60s.

That worked fine until the epa stopped the routine dredging.

And you’re saddled with insurmountable debt depending on your insurance level. Not to mention all the checkups and health maintenance you missed because you couldn’t pay. We don’t have universal healthcare. We have mandatory emergency care that’s unaffordable. That’s it.
