Compare Desantis’ response to the Gubamint boys: Florida has contracted engineers throughout the state who will swoop in to inspect infrastructure as soon as the storm passes. They and the power company teams are sitting just north and west of the track ready to go. FEMA has 90% of their teams already engaged with fires, mudslides and Helene with no ability to flex. FLARNG soldiers are already assembled and in fact a large number are supporting Helene recovery in GA and NC and they won’t need to be called back because the plan is already in place and being executed.
Desantis’ response is to politicize the whole thing. If you’re talking about organizing the hurricane response that’s the government employees who manage various agencies tasked with responding to natural disasters and other emergencies as well as private-sector workers pulled in to assist. You should be thanking public sector workers and private sector workers who are actually doing the work, not an elected politician trying to get brownie points for his team and secure a nice fat contract for himself later on.
Death Sentance has bungled every Hurricane Florida has had since his election. He does not give a crap about anything other than his political ambition (which he has tied to Trump) and he never has. His actions are why so many insurers are pulling out of Florida, why retirees in Florida have seen their property values fall, and why condo fees are through the roof. Many middle-class Floridians are being forced out of their home by skyrocketing costs.
As with all MAGA Republican grifters, this will be a free-for-all of Republican cronies grabbing government money.
He wants to strip consideration for global warming out of anything the government does, which just ensures more Helenes and Miltons for centuries to come.
