A lot of the problem is the feds can't overstep governors' authority about a lot of things. And with the governor not requiring people to do the right thing, she is more the bottleneck and problem.
She's the one who has to declare the right state of emergency.
She's the one who has to give the NG the authority to shoot the looters.
It's her state. She has to do a bunch of things for things to happen.
Okay. I appreciate that. So one person -- obviously with no ability to control the response to a manjor, national catastrophe -- is going to cause thousands to die from lack of food and water in the street and the federal government is going to stand by and watch it happen?
