Oh, no. Mar-a-Larvae will have undocumented servants as human barriers, holding up sandbags.

Well yeah, no shit. We're going to have 4+ years of random disaster shit demonstrating why we had govt agencies devoted to dealing with preventing said shit or dealing with the fallout and it's going to be realllllll interesting watching the red states fail to deal on their own

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemm.ee 2 points 10 hours ago

And just remember. Once we lose a public service, no matter who is in office later, we never get it back. Disaster relief is a thing of the past.

One of the goals of this administration is to borrow and spend so much money that any future govt is so buried in debt it can't function so, yeah, you're spot on. We've entered terminal state capitalism now where citizenship means debt service and nothing more.

Nah, they are going to say, “this is perfect evidence why we need even less government”

[-] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

These agencies are clearly failures and we should cut all funding to them so we can pay double for half as much support to some private agency senator ___________'s friend/relative/donor owns!

[-] Aidinthel@reddthat.com 31 points 3 days ago

Watch Trump give lucrative disaster response contracts to private companies owned by his biggest donors. Maybe Musk will dump a bunch of cybertrucks on the government somehow.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Who needs food, water, shelter, or access to critically needed medication when we can use the fema budget to airdrop cybertrucks into disaster zones?

[-] Gregg@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah but think of the photo op!

[-] Trimatrix@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

That is way too optimistic. We are going to have 4+ years of random disaster shit demonstrating to the MAGA crowd that the agencies devoted to dealing with the fallout are all corrupt and thus need more budget cuts.

I wish I was being sarcastic but 100% thats gonna be the spin.

I have no faith in people to realize anything. They'll just imagine it's always been this way and continue being morons.

[-] AnalogNotDigital@lemmy.wtf 16 points 2 days ago

Red states voted for this. Fuck em.

[-] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

sucks that there are a lot of people in there who did not vote for that which will suffer.

[-] ephrin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

There are lots of innocents still in red states.

[-] bluemellophone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Like, you know, kids.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Maybe he'll finally get to nuke a hurricane now!

[-] peteyestee@feddit.org 12 points 3 days ago

There's good chance that was the whole point.

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
