That's been obvious since the pandemic. When they left us to die and stole our ppe.

Bootstraps. Rice and beans. Thoughts and prayers.

Watching conservatives own themselves is tiring.

Stupid question but, what does Dubs actually do? If he says you're on your own then what is the point of an Emergency Management Coordinator?

Did folks not learn this from the response to Hurricane Katrina ? The people of New Orleans were basically left to rot while the State of Louisiana and Federal Government were standing around holding their dicks. When they finally did respond, it was about as bungled as it could be.

Whatever area you live in, figure out what disasters are possible/likely and plan to deal with the fallout from one of those, with zero help for a two weeks or more.
