‘Efficiency’ cuts across offices have left teams understaffed, firefighters underpaid and uninsured, and without adequate equipment

    Welcome to news “reporting” under a trump administration.

    1.) State the amazingly fucking obvious
    2.) Cite some stupid study, poll, or ‘insiders’
    3.) ???
    4.) Profit!

      3 might be something along the lines of “act surprised as if destroying the country isn’t their plan”

        I had a broken clock once.

        I lost it when everything burned to the ground during a preventable wildfire that was mismanaged and allowed to grow unchecked until it consumed everything…

    Considering we’re not even prepared for hurricane season, either, and our president is trying to dismantle FEMA, I think it’s safer to just say the US is just a little more fucked in general.

      Preppers finally getting their time. Not exactly how they thought it’d play out, but I’m sure they’ll be stoked delivering “I told you so” for a couple weeks sheltering their neighbours.

        Doubt all their guns and underground bunkers will save them from fire or hurricanes!

      Clearly we just use the hurricanes to put out the fires.

          That’s ridiculous. You can’t move hurricanes with a sharpie.

          You use nukes.

      And “we’re fucked” is putting it lightly. On that note, check out American Resiliency on YouTube if you want some helpful information on how to get ready!
