Federal Emergency Management Agency

It’s unclear how/if the sign here is actually helping matters, but that’s not the point.

“Natural” disasters like massive floods are increasingly common and severe, and emergency management for events of this scale are impossible to implement effectively at the state level.  This is why Trump’s plan to dismantle FEMA can only increase Americans’ level of suffering.

It’s almost as if Trump is deliberately making it tougher to live in the United States than it’s ever been before. It’s true that people who are miserable are desperate for a forcible solution.  They’re increasingly likely to find ridiculous statements credible, like, “I alone can fix it.”

Could this be part of his plan?
