The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

bighairymike: Your lack of compassion is showing.... Many of these people are interviewed in front of rubble piles that used to be their or their neighbors homes, they don't have a door.

If they're being interviewed, then how do they not have access to FEMA relief efforts? Did the Fox "News" crews not help them get aid?

And I have plenty of compassion for the people harmed by Hurricane Helene but am disgusted by the republicans keeping these folks from getting any and all assistance available to them by lying to them that all the funds have gone to aid migrants and there's nothing left for them.

Rumor: FEMA does not have enough money to provide disaster assistance for Helene.

Fact:

FEMA has enough money right now for immediate response and recovery needs. If you were affected by Helene, do not hesitate to apply for disaster assistance as there is a variety of help available for different needs.


BTW, how much compassion did republicans show for Hurricane Helene and past disaster sufferers by voting against FEMA's disaster relief funding, including every House and Senate republican in the states hit by Hurricane Helene?
