The lack of funding for FEMA and the vilification of feds is having a predictable effect. FEMA doesn’t have enough staff available to send to Florida. They are stretched too thin and scrabbling to find people.
Since DeSantis doesn’t value federal disaster assistance, it will be an opportunity for him to show the rest of us the way. But of course this is what Florida voted for: no taxes or regulations. Everyone takes care of themselves.
NYT: But FEMA is stretched not just by the brutal aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which killed more than 200 people and destroyed sections of western North Carolina. Its staff is also responding to flooding and landslides in Vermont, tornadoes in Kansas, the aftermath of Tropical Storm Debby in New York and Georgia and the Watch Fire in Arizona.
The GOP’s mantra has been to shrink the government so it’s small enough to drown in a bathtub. It’s too bad that the people who voted for the GOP can’t be the only ones to experience the world they voted for.

Maybe Desantis’s plan is to let Milton kill as many people as possible so they have fewer people to take care of afterwards.
