I don't count on MSM for much of anything any more. I look for other ways to get information. I'm just so fucking disgusted by so many news organizations these days.
People have to be resilient and self reliant. We can't wait for the government to save us. I don't understand people expecting the government agencies to be there immedietly.
My only thought is could they have had a better warning-weather reports went out-but did anyone expect it would be like this? Should more have been done upfront so people could have been better prepared or evacuated prior?

There is a fuck ton of soft people out there waiting for others to manage shit. I'm a control freak so I could never do that and I don't have much, if any, patience for those that do, particularly men.

I was probably that way before. And I thought I had to follow protocols and do things "right".

I don't see you waiting around for someone to handle stuff. I've only ever seen you control your destiny. Not to sound dramatic.

Is this Kirk? I hear it is headed for Europe now. NVM they are talking about Hurricane Milton now. That one is hitting Florida.

Milton looks like he's going to knock Florida off the map if he intensifies.

So many vendors at the Warrensburg garage sale yesterday selling pro Trump and anti Biden merchandise. I so wanted to burn their tents and tables down. After safely removing the vendors of course.

They'll make money from the insurance claim. I'll make it look like an accident. "What do you mean I wasn't allowed to smoke near the tent/table? Sorry I accidentally dropped my lit cigar on to that Trump merchandise and accidentally flicked my lighter on near those Anti Biden merchandise.?"

All the toilet paper is gone again, I don't understand. It's just a hurricane, why hoard all of the toilet paper? You're not even going to need to wipe your ass when the house is filled with 5 ft of water.

How exactly do you know who is and isn't lying?

I hope that thing loses strength because it's 100 percent exiting straight through here. God damnit. My fence is definitely going down for the 100th time.

Trump and Ken Copeland could blow it away if they wanted to.

Well gee, rothschild. I figure it's the ones who are saying there is no help on the ground, that FEMA is no where to be found and neither is the president or VP. Nothing could be further from the truth and the governors have come out and said so. That's how I know they are lying. FFS what the hell is wrong with you.

Harris said something about $750 in "immediate" assistance, which is pocket change and requires filling out an application. What exactly is FEMA doing for the people that desperately need immediate help? How many teams are on the ground coordinating the distribution of essential aid and the evacuation of people who are stranded and have no food and clean water?
