Sorry We're Closed: FEMA Shuts Down Disaster Centers "Due To Weather"
People have no heat so what's FEMA's response to a bit of snow? To close disaster relief centers.
Just like Katrina FEMA as a disaster relief organization is inept.
Ok Grampa, I haven't read the article yet, but I am willing to bet that there's a good reason. I DO find it funny that many republicans who incessantly state "get government out of the way and let the private industry take care of it!" and "Private industry does it better than government!", are the same ones who are complaining about FEMA'S alleged lack of response and lack of turning the electricity on and fuel delivery. Both of the aforementioned industries are controlled by PRIVATE business entities!!!
What's even funnier is watching the very people who believed that big government would be their for them are finding out differently. It's coming as quite a shock.
What about the people who actually prepared (full tank of gas, water, CASH, food, bills, etc) before the storm and figured they prepared for enough time and miscalculated or calculated correctly, and expected partial government help?
