no one is handing out a check and a ACH takes a day...

I see that the resident disaster-assistance financial expert has arrived.  

They are currently going door to door to provide immediate relief funds to people whose homes were impacted by the flood, especially since internet access is still down in many places.  

can you cite the source of record?..

fail how, to want to determine where factual statements are derived?

What is the source? if it cannot be identified and validated, it is assumed to be manipulated or false information.

Just assume it’s from the Wall Street Journal and so obviously fake news since that’s a for-profit paper.

Obviously made up, since it’s from the federal government / White House, which everyone knows Obummer now controls.  

Or George Soros.  One of those guys.

Yeah, I'm sure since this is a FEDERAL agency, their approach in NC is going to be dramatically different from the one they're using in NC.  

I swear you are like a walking, talking, posting exemplar of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

General Dynamics is increasingly capacity to provide 100,000 155 mm shells per month in Pennsylvania.

Dang it. The wrong scranton gif pulled up. You can’t see them because it’s so dang small. That’s a fail on my end. I’ll do better next time.

Regarding Ukraine aid, the US aid money goes to domestic companies that are producing products for the war. The aid helps Americans AND Ukrainians. 

It seems like too many people think we are simply stroking checks to Ukraine. 

Which domestic companies...

Every defense company plus all of their suppliers.  Fortunate in the US, our defense contracts are fairly strict on suppliers and material origination, so most of the actual $$$ stay on US shores.

Ok

but there is absolutely more to it that we don’t see

All that being said

its a sad state of affairs in NC

and there are  reports of a FEMA representative being assaulted

People are pissed and tired of the current state of affairs

Not arguing or supporting the complete lack of support to the USA.

I will say the military aid to Ukraine wasn’t in direct dollars.  It was in already built and stockpiled weapons and equipment.  Transfering that to NC, Tennessee, Florida, etc wouldn’t really help them unless they sold it on eBay to pay bills.  Also, that equipment is being used for its intended purpose, destroying Russian hardware.  Even better, it isn’t American servicemen being put in harms way while Russian equipment is being destroyed and Russian soldiers being killed.

I think the bigger travesty is the apparent lack of a coordinated rescue effort and the hassling being done of US citizens who are trying to help.

It’s a great way to real world field test equipment without risking American lives.

Can’t speak for either @Ozzie_Isaac or @DoubleEgger but I seriously doubt either of them were happy to see Russia invade Ukraine.

Putin did this.  Should we sit back and let him take over Ukraine?  Then Poland and Finland and every other country boarding them?

I am pro-kicking ass and taking names when the other guy starts it.  You keep kicking till they stop getting back up.

I hate war and all that it entails.

I am not sure but I think we are partially responsible for Putin attacking Ukraine because of nato expansion. I can just imagine young kids being pulled from their homes  on both sides for a mandatory draft to fight and ultimately getting kicked until you stop. But it is creating jobs in the USA and using up old ammo stock, no American is getting hurt so there’s that.
