Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times.
The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers, according to a person briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity in order to discuss internal matters.
I really hope these people I knew of who purposely moved to Texas to support Texas politics lost their home. 🤞
Is that mean of me? No, these people constantly voted for things that hurt or even killed people around me. They pushed beliefs that actively harm other people. I would have zero remorse if my wishful thinking came true.
As for what we do next, I wish my state would stop paying federal taxes.
I also hope that people who don’t share my political views lose all their possessions in a natural disaster. Oh wait, no I don’t because I’m not a dickhead.
It isn’t about disagreeing politically, I disagree with friends of mine politically. It’s about the fact that they go out of their way to hurt others and cause suffering, and they think it’s fine.
I’m not OK with that because I’m a human being that cares - sorry you don’t understand that.
So which is it? Do you only want people to lose their homes who
Or
because it sounds like you’re moving the goalpost now.
Let me help you out friend, there is only one struggle, the class struggle. When you parrot billionaire talking points like that it’s the working class’ fault because we all chose from their rigged choices, or didn’t vote at all, or are a victim of decades of cradle to grave propaganda you help the billionaires keep us divided.
I really hope you can see beyond whatever culture war tactic is being used to divide us and stop spreading hateful messaging like working class people should lose their homes.
I don’t disagree with the necessity of a class war.
But when people like this inhibit progress towards a class war, they will be removed as a hurdle and I will absolutely be happy about it. There is nothing wrong with that.
…i wish you’d take them back: they’ve really dragged down this place over the past three decades…
Yeah, but just think, the wife’s various MLMs she keeps trying really help the community…
And the husband’s BBQ skills really help the neighborhood…
They’re probably the same people that insist on calling pigs in a blanket, a kolache. A kolache, being a pastry filled with fruit, is a food first made in TX by Czech immigrants. It’s so disappointing when places say they have kolaches and it’s actually just pigs in a blanket.
Without them, we might have been able to boot Cruz from office a few years back when Beto was running. According to an exit poll at the time, native Texans largely for Beto and those that moved here largely voted for Cruz.
The klobasniky is technically what they’re referring to with the generic ‘kolache’, but don’t get it twisted, the true kolache is Czech. If anything the false kolache klobasniky is the TX made Czech food.
The Czech Stop still fights the good fight but every Asian Donut place lists Kolache when they mean sausage roll.
I didn’t realize kolaches were actually Czech. I looked it up at some point and must’ve read some bad info.
Dang, that timeline sounds great
