Why wasn't I taught to work the system?

Hey all of you suckers that carry insurance and pay taxes the Red Cross and FEMA laugh at you. Here they are preparing meals for Laura section 8 evacuees that have been in the Intercontinental for free for 40 days now getting 3 catered meals per day as well as free everything. I am staying next door (paying for it) and snapped this while letting my dog walk for a bit.

The Red Cross guy saw me and closed the curtains then told a state trooper on me. Right after this the trooper came out asked my why I took the photo and I told him because it was BS. He said OK and that was it. He couldn't say much but no doubt he understood and agreed.
Remember this as you get battered by a second storm and try to put it all back together and get told by FEMA they can't help you and you have to get an SBA loan.

As I suspect you were, I was taught working the system was wrong. We were taught responsibility and self reliance.
This is what white privilege gave us. We pay our way and walk our dogs. And we got it from good parents.
ETA: Hope you and yours stay safe my friend.

Because you had/have good parents.

Exactly - FEMA didn’t give a crap about my house in Hurricane Katrina because I had flood insurance because, like a good citizen and since it was cheap since I was in a no flood zone - I got it
And since I had flood insurance I had to wait nearly 5 damned years to get all the stuff settled for the Road Home program - even though I used the flood insurance money to pay almost all of the house off
No help from anyone bc I did what I thought I was supposed to do

You weren't taught to work it for 2 reasons:
1. It's wrong.
2. You can do a lot better for yourself by working hard than by working the system.

And FEMA cared not for ours after Maria and Irma. We took money out of our 401k and paid for it ourselves.

Now they are telling people that have high deductibles to take out SBA loans. No help at all if you are honest.

quote:FEMA does not pay much to anyone. We had hurricanes in eastern NC in ‘16 & ‘18 and I learned that FEMA actually provides very little direct assistance. To quote a FEMA VAL, “would you trade all your possessions for $35,500”.
FEMA gives notice that the maximum amount of IHP financial assistance provided to an individual or household under section 408 of the Stafford Act with respect to any single emergency or major disaster is $35,500 for housing assistance and $35,500 for other needs assistance.
The ONA category is for things such as medicine.
Those amounts are for disasters declared after Oct 2019; don’t know if it was updated this year. I don’t think temporary housing expense counts against either $35,500 category but at some point they will kick you out with very little notice.

The left is in a war against the responsible.
And using guilt trips as a means to their power trip.

The goal is to destroy the middle class, because that's where the most resistance to Marxism is nested.
