Used to live in New Orleans. Hope things turn out ok.
Concern emanates from the White House:
Daddy Wun Dum Fuk: *"I’m glad I never built a tower there. The place is a real dump, a drug-infested den.
How are my golf courses in Florida? Are they still over-insured?"
Ivankatoinette (channeling Babs Bush): "I think things are working out very well for them.
It’s a good thing I sell Signature raincoats."
BTW: Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, can likely expect doodly-squat from FEMA.
Wow Republican presidents are a really bad omen for New Orleans!
Trump hasn’t appointed a new head to FEMA. Its still being run by Fugate, who Obama appointed. So yeah, its doubtful that FEMA is on anybody’s radar in the WH.
The new head of FEMA is Brock Long. Oddly enough, he’s one of the few (only?) appointees that actually has experience in his field, as opposed to a major/minor in grifting.
So is head of public works resigning because he should have resigned, or because he’s fed up with being the scapegoat for problems? Fires like this are typically maintenance/replacement related, which means either that people aren’t doing their jobs or that they’re doing the best they can with not enough resources.
That 3-inch-per hour rate, btw, would cause massive flooding in pretty much any city in the nation.
