Ijit. So you're one of the guys who just can't wait to use a personal tragedy to make some assjack point.
People are burying loved ones. Looking for loved ones. Sifting through literal ashes. And you want to take a shot at Biden using this heartbreak. âď¸.
As part of the "Critical Action" plan (not long-term assistance yet):
The Defense Department is continuing to support disaster relief efforts related to the devastating wildfire on Maui, Hawaii, said Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh today. Providing inter-island air and sea transportation for the movement of cargo, personnel, supplies and equipment. That's assistance and it costs money.
300 FEMA workers are currently on the ground and the agency has provided approximately 50,000 meals, 75,000 liters of water, 5,000 cots and 10,000 blankets. To further assist survivors, FEMA has activated a transitional sheltering assistance program to help displaced residents find a hotel or motel, as well as a "critical needs" program to provide $700 to eligible people for food, water and other supplies. That's assistance and it costs money.
The U.S. Coast Guard, Hawaii's National Guard and some active-duty forces have been fighting the flames to assist with traffic control and fire suppression. That's assistance and it costs money.
Believe it or not, "help" isn't a handout of cash so your Christmas is a little nicer. It's water, food, and shelter right now. Medical care and critical debriefing and crisis counseling. So do yourself a favor and stop looking like the thoughtless ignorant American and allow an island a little time to recover.
