In areas hit by Texas floods, officials were sent over $5 million in federal ARPA funds in 2021. They didn't want to spend it on flood warning systems due to their disdain for Biden - and didn't send it BACK because it might go to a blue state, and "values that we in Kerr county don't agree with."

Similar scenario in Washington state Oso slide. State officials expressed concern about the possibility of slides during a hearing at the local high school and proposed designating it so, when, according to the Seattle Times, a voice from the back said, “You’re taking away our Liberty”. 🤷‍♂️

This is why I never had any desire to visit so called “real America”. I’d always stick to the coasts previously. Now the whole country is out of bounds and will be a for a long time, long time.

These people are literally murdering themselves out of their hatred for the rest of us. They hate those of us with an education who are moral and treat all Americans of any color or creed as equals. They are white “Christian” nationalist monsters.

I just lost a lot of my sympathy for them, not all but most. You cannot cry foul and complain about not having emergency systems when the government gave you the money to implement said systems and you turned it down due to “politics”

So when a disaster happens do they want the government to stay out and Texas can take care of Texas? If so then no need for FEMA or any other agency to assist in the recovery.

Not a single one of the folks that spoke up to the city council demanding they not use the American Rescue Plan money for emergency warning systems will lose even an house sleep over the dead children. They have no conscience - only grievance.
