Trump says he’ll have Republican National Committee chair Michael Whatley working on hurricane relief matters instead of using the Federal Emergency Management Agency
Isn’t California on its own somewhere in like the top 10 global economies? Aren’t they partially funding a lot of shit in red states? Seems like a lot of leverage to me. If the government won’t help you with disasters like this, is there incentive any longer to keep paying into it? Use the money to fund your own disaster aid and FEMA equivalent instead.

It’s the 4th largest economy in the world.
Bigger than I thought it was! But then it should have a lot of weight to throw around, so… maybe start doing that!
This is a huge part of why the qons are so very hateful toward Cali - they are deeply jealous.
