In western North Carolina, people about to get kicked out of hotels, waiting for FEMA to help them for now three months got a gracious 24 hours extension due to the storm before they’re kicked out into the subfreezing weather to join all the other thousands and thousands of people in tents, cars, and the luckier ones in rvs. And then there’s still the homeless in Maui, the devastation in East Palestine.
I lived in Southern California. I know those places from so many memories, it hurts to see this happen; I want them to receive help too. But this marked difference in response is very telling

Maybe the leadership in those other places WANTS IT TO BE DIFFICULT to IMPOSSIBLE for “some” of their citizens to get the help. Maybe thats the difference. Maybe LA wants to help has many as they can because THEY CANNOT AFFORD to do anything other than that, because, you know, the whole powder keg melting pot thing. Maybe who ever is in control locally of those other places have been treating their citizens like crap for a long time.
