Also 900 million will not be going to North Carolina hurricane relief.

Cold heartless bastards

Assuming I did my math correctly these two things would have been a combined total of .002% of the federal budget.

Can't buy a B2 with hurricane relief.

why can't north carolina use hurricane insurance instead of relying on the feds?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, those people living in the (checks notes) mountains in (checks notes again) inland North Carolina knew the risks of not getting Hurricane insurance!

Technically it was a tropical storm. Case denied.

Why can't the government take care of it's people instead of making them rely on private insurance? It's the government. They should be doing things like taking care of their citizens during times of crisis.

this isn't something unpredictable there are consistent tropical storms in North Carolina as with most of the south east United states.

Ummmmm this would be largely flood insurance and that’s a federal program.
