| Some residents being immediately denied FEMA assistance, officials say |
| 2025-01-11 |
| [FoxNews - liveblog] Some people who have applied for assistance are being immediately denied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Kathryn Barger said Friday. The federal agency set up an online form, which people are filling out, but people were being denied, she said. Officials were looking into the matter, Barger at a news conference. “I’m following up on that to find out what is going on because it is completely mind-boggling to me that people who lost everything are filling out a form, as told, and then are getting an immediate denial,” she said.

| #6 FEMA needs to be shut down and its supplies donated. It was a lovely idea, but the execution demonstrates that this is not a function the federal government does well. Contrariwise, it is proved to be a function in which the feds end up actively harming those they were intended to help. Since the internet became widely available, the common folk have demonstrated the skills and drive to handle rescue and repair better, cheaper, and more quickly than government can at any level. There are things that governments do better — let them concentrate on those. |

| #4 There was no audit to see why there was no FEMA funds available for NC. We shovel more cash in to set up to help them. Biden redirects all the new funding to CA, but it does not look as if it is going to help people. Newsom has a huge budget shortfall and needs cash. |
