Well I think to your point about saving lives it's absolutely true but I also see this as you know more ubiquitously they are supposed to reduce misery because in catastrophes People are in misery and that's their job to come in to do things that will decrease and reduce the misery of the people And when you pick and choose who you're going to allow to be miserable and who you're not then I think there's a serious serious problem It's a despicable attitude and a despicable behavior But it is not surprising Because when you think about it the rhetoric that was used against Trump perfectly consistent with what FEMA's behavior was But it's not just going to be this one supervisor who is going to be fired now of course because now you can sweep the place clean of all of these reprobates that have chosen politics over the public And that is something we'll continue discussing after this short break. #FEMA #politics #milton

I think it's fascinating that you used the word culture there because if something is culturally inherent within a system or within an organization then who is ultimately responsible Well that's the leadership of that organization right Because they inculcate the culture from the top down And so although the individual in question the one who put out these orders both in writing and verbally Uh to avoid houses with Trump-Vance paraphernalia Although she has been fired it does nothing to address the fact that this was allowed to fester and foster within an organization that lets be very very clear FEMA saves lives right And if they're picking and choosing winners or people that they'll deal with here that could lead to a loss of life for people based on their political politically charged culture And so I'm wondering uh how many heads of these agencies will be given their walking papers once Donald Trump is inaugurated.
