...and, since you know absolutely nothing about Alaska, its harsh climate, or its remote, enormous geography, get back to us when you figure out what you're talking about.

You present facts?

As if that matters...

Anything to get rid of the “damned woman” that stands between Golden Boy and his just reward...

FEMA reimburses money to local and state governments and individuals for damage and expenses they incurred as a result of a disaster and uses contractors instead of permanent federal employees to assess the damage and determine how much money gets paid out and to whom, contractors who bust their ass and spend months and years away from their families.

Counterpunch, your perception of FEMA and what it does is not based in any type of reality but rather is the result of believing what you see on TV.

The Agency has like less than 3000 permanent full time employees, mostly paper pushers in DC.

The contractors do good work, are highly competent, and are out of a job when all of the entities have been reimbursed.
