Does anyone else think it is strange that the Houston mayor and democrat leaders keep trying to make a big deal of these FEMA PODS in Houston, when according to the KHOU website, grocery stores are beginning to open all over Houston?

LOL...why do they need FEMA PODS all over Houston when they can go buy their own ice, water and supplies now? I can see the need for them in Galveston and the Bolivar Penisula..but for the Houston mayor to be screaming about a two hour delay in Houston is disingenious and reeks of political motivations.

(eye roll)

Private businesses have really stepped up to meeting people’s needs IMO. They get better with each disaster.
Heb, Walmart, Home Depot etc. They have their own disaster plans. It’s not free though. People recovering independently scares democrats. If people don’t need and depend on government they can’t be controlled.

If there were an unbiased (IE: Non-liberal) news source in Houston, one would imagine the first thing they'd be looking up is seeing how many billions have been poured into Houston emergency services, and ask the obvious question: How come Houston couldn't handle a relatively minor emergency?

And yes, alas, Houston will get FEMA aid right now, not because they particularly need it, with standard groceries opening up, and more food and ice on it's way from market distribution centers across the state, but because there's a whole load of television cameras watching.

Well, a tad bit disingenuous. There would be more aid for Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula, but right now, there isn't a whole lot of methods of getting big rigs there, so they'll have to rely on what aid can be brought in immediately on boat and by helicopter.
