I assume that they'll start the secession talk again as they get their funds from the Federal government.
FEMA should respond by putting razor wire around all the affected areas. You know , to keep out undesirables like the Governor. They won't, though, because they are not assholes and take their mission seriously.
Lmao imagine saying FEMA aren't assholes
Name one time that FEMA was an asshole? I would love to know. FEMA distribution gets fucked up by district politics, but I assume you are saying that FEMA activily told a group of people to go fuck themselves.

Well they sure won't start the climate change talk.
Oh just wait until insurance rug pulls all the policies this is what is going to kill Florida and Texas.
That sounds great, but it just means rising costs for the rest of us to cover the revenue loss from those states. An interesting consequence could be states removing insurance requirements, though...
