We are on the mountaintop in Little Switzerland collecting airlifted donations and distributing them to homes that have no power or are inaccessible. The community is self organizing incredibly well Image This is the only federal government response I've seen so far. Almost all the pallets we have received are donations coming in from citizens and orgs. Feds usually don't come this far up into the mountains
This has been the government donation: pallets of electric chainsaws to communities that have no power

I know better, probably they are.
Green agenda! What can’t it do? Uh, cut trees? ๐ต
Reality doesn’t matter. What matters is that the left gets to think of themselves as the wise elite with all the answers.
I suppose you could move them back and forth and cut some twigs for fire wood.
Similar to a stupid person pouring gasoline onto a house fire while saying “I’m helping”.
They’re doing something they think is useful, are only in the way, and actively make things worse.
“I’m from the Government and I’m here to help.”..................
The government has to change over to all electric โenginesโ by 2030. Why not start with chainsaws first. Solar powered generators to charge them anyone?
I would like to assume FEMA bought all the chain saws in a couple of states and did not look at what the contractor was providing. Avoidable mess.
Why not plug them in to a PV array?
I’ve seen ads on the internet for solar arrays that are the size of a cutting board and generate a few kW of AC!
(ha ha)
Electric chin saws are really useful in certain situations, such as clearing small trees where you have a decent delay in between each tree. Post hurricane, I want a gas chain saw all day.
The bulk of FEMA people who ‘show-up’ (not the office types), are just there to use the GPC (Gov’t Purchase Card)...loaded with half-a-million. They are simply ‘spenders’. Some might have some insight on how to buy/station things. In this case, I’ll bet it was a first-time deployment for the FEMA agent buying chain saws.
ON PURPOSE, IMHO.
My fully charged Ryobi is only good for less than 4” diameter softwood saplings.
My 18” gas Stihl handles the rest.
DAMN! Just pathetic. Probably the questionable pronoun group in the sickening meeting or the girl FEMA boss who have never even used or wanted to use a chainsaw picked them out.
(But they are good at critical racial theories intersecting with queer theory, using Kamala’s supposed love of Venn Diagrams.
(Oops, she meant Venn Diaphragms! Wishful thinking, she’s 60.)
18 inch BATTERY chain saws. Guess they can pedal a bike to charge each battery up. Or charge one a day on a little solar charger.
Or drive a car to the electricity so the saw does not use gas.
And no doubt they have NO extra chains and NO chain oil except 2 oz in the saw box.
>>> Phase FEMA out relentlessly while states ramp up their own much better systems. <<<
I have both gas and electric (corded, not battery). Each has it’s own use...................
>> Not really? They aren’t that stupid are they?
What are you, an obtuse knuckle-dragging repuke climate change denier? We just had, like, a WORSE hurricane here because climate change! Gas chain saws are, like, SOOO climate changey! Electric “zero emission” chainsaws are GREEN, and when you can’t charge them because no electricity, they’re even greener!

“Electric chin saws...”
Dude, they’re called “razers.”
>> I have both gas and electric (corded, not battery). Each has itโs own use...
Me too, and ditto, each is better at something than its sibling.
But my electric is battery powered — because the way I roll, your kind of electric in my hands would give the concept of “cord cutting” an entirely different, retro meaning. ;-)
I’ve never done it but my wife has..................
