[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me, as if I am a five year old, how having a single, centralized FEMA is less efficient than having 50 separate FEMAs running in parallel with each other?[/quote]
It won’t be. That’s utter fiction. Now disaster relief will work the same way that trying to obtain ventilators and PPE worked during Covid, when Trump told states to handle it on their own: if multiple states are hit by a powerful hurricane or a series of tornadoes, they’ll all be bidding on the same resources, driving up the cost for each other. Some states will have stockpiles of bottled water and others will run out and have to figure out how to get more and distribute it in areas with no electricity and many road closures.[/quote]

Resources have to be brought in from all over the country in emergencies qualifying as disasters. [/quote]

You think a state is going to share bottled water and cots with another state? We’re going to be operating like small countries. People now are mad about a penny going to help people in Africa. You think people are going to be okay sending resources to other states? I think, if anything, we’ll see regions sharing based on interests, so blue NE states sharing with each other, and southern red states sharing. [/quote]
