The response of the Federal Government to the Hurricane Sandy dislocations is in line with its handling of Amtrac, Social Security, the postal service and hundreds of other functions, none of which perform well. Mac Slavo observes:
This is a limited-scope disaster that the government and populace knew was coming. While tragic, the worst-case scenario here is perhaps 50,000 people who can be deemed refugees who have lost their homes and belongings. Additionally, another 250,000 required short-term assistance like food and water in the immediate aftermath.
If FEMA and DHS are incapable of dealing with an emergency that affects less than 1% of the US population simultaneously, what type of response should the American people reasonably expect in the event of a sustained wide-scale disaster?
Apparently the FEMA staff resemble DMV workers in their attitudes toward the victims. Mr. Slavo describes the concentration camp conditions, including armed guards, that the FEMA shelters resemble. Say, isn’t this the same organization who has been buying guns and planning for mass camps (prisons?) for US citizens. Perhaps the FEMA staff believes these displaced people are prisoners.
Isn’t it time we quit pretending government is either useful or effective? It is a parasite pulling off the greatest Ponzi scheme of all time.
