Summary
Trump signed an executive order shifting disaster preparedness responsibility from FEMA to state and local governments.
The order calls for reviewing infrastructure policies, creating a National Risk Register, and prioritizing state-led risk reduction.
Critics warn this weakens U.S. disaster readiness, noting Trump’s administration has cut 1,000 FEMA staff and withheld funds from state projects.
Experts fear the order forces states to make costly infrastructure investments without clear federal support, leaving communities more vulnerable to disasters like wildfires and hurricanes.
Okay, then can we stop paying taxes in California? We send far, far, FAR more money to the Feds than we receive. We’re paying for all kinds of other states. So if we’re footing the bill for things like disasters, why the fuck are we still paying the Feds?
California is net neutral. Whether it’s a giver or taker state depends on the year and the exact criteria used, but it’s never very far from even.
That said, sister relief is an area that California gets the shaft.
Bingo.
The dipshit can send troops to attack California if we stop. See how Americans like a president who wages war on our own country. Especially since 1 in 8 Americans IS Californian.
We’ve got plenty of our own money. We don’t need the feds. Especially if we stop giving so much to red welfare states.
