Just a firehose of falsehoods being spammed This morning on D&D https://www.fayobserver.com/story/n...relief-in-western-north-carolina/75482883007/
I think this is awesome and with the devastation I hope we see more of this; they need all the help they can get.
where is Kamala? Pilot flying supply, rescue missions in western North Carolina ordered out under arrest threat. https://myfox8.com/news/public-safe...rth-carolina-ordered-out-under-arrest-threat/
I guess there is truth to the lithium thing folks there are saying. Apparently this area has some of the most pure lithium deposits IN THE WORLD. https://www.reuters.com/business/pi...ing-permit-north-carolina-project-2024-04-15/
This is why so many people who worked for Trump have refused to endorse him, with some even going as far as endorsing Harris. They know firsthand the kind of person Trump truly is. Helene isn’t the first time Trump inserted politics into a natural disaster https://www.eenews.net/articles/hel...mp-inserted-politics-into-a-natural-disaster/ In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, former President Donald Trump has blasted the Biden administration for its handling of the disaster — going so far as to accuse Democratic leaders of ignoring the needs of Republican storm victims. But a review of Trump’s record by POLITICO’s E&E News and interviews with two former Trump White House officials show that the former president was flagrantly partisan at times in response to disasters and on at least three occasions hesitated to give disaster aid to areas he considered politically hostile or ordered special treatment for pro-Trump states. Mark Harvey, who was Trump’s senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff, told E&E News on Wednesday that Trump initially refused to approve disaster aid for California after deadly wildfires in 2018 because of the state’s Democratic leanings. But Harvey said Trump changed his mind after Harvey pulled voting results to show him that heavily damaged Orange County, California, had more Trump supporters than the entire state of Iowa, Harvey said. The exchange has not been previously reported. “We went as far as looking up how many votes he got in those impacted areas … to show him these are people who voted for you,” said Harvey, who recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris alongside more than 100 other Republican former national security officials. Both Harvey and Olivia Troye, a former Trump White House homeland security adviser who backed up Harvey’s claim, say Trump is approaching Hurricane Helene with a similar mindset. They say he is politicizing a disaster that has killed more than 170 people in six states. And Troye, who has endorsed Harris for president, accused Trump of trying to divert attention from his own political liabilities on disaster responses. She said if Trump wins the White House again, he will view disasters through a political lens that values personal loyalty over damage considerations. ...
Damn Kamala is VP and a local Fire Chief? Amazing! Seidhom said the military helicopters sent to the area were too large to land in the tight confines of the debris fields and mountainsides where people need to be rescued. Rescue coordinators are asking for smaller helicopters like Seidhom’s to help.
apropos of nothing, I had an interesting conversation with a physicist earlier this week know for his data-fitting prowess. He was working on correlating a few things, like global human population and CO2 output. What's impressive about his work is that he's done this before with economic data, just distilling away all sorts of what we'd normally insert as complexity and finding simple relations. He's been crunching numbers on this for years and thinks the following. * we're nearing peak human population a lot faster than the UN modelers think * we're nearing peak carbon output faster than people think * but we're going to be outputting carbon a good long time longer than most of us would want * we'll end up with about a 3.5 C increase in global average temperature by the time we've completed our big anthropogenic atmospheric alteration experiment. If he's right or mostly right about all this, hand on to your dang butts. 3.5 C gives us a fairly different planet.
It is obvious you don't live in Houston or have been through something like this. 750 is the initial amount to replace food, etc. It does not cover temporary housing, rebuilding, etc. Please educate yourself
