Texas wild fires and their impact isn't in the national news. Local news coverage is pretty good.

Texas state engaged:


Fellow Americans are in need, and there are people responding, oddly, nothing in the national news coverage. What do you think will happen to food prices should large scale crop and livestock losses occur for something that could have been addressed?

We hear about the federal response to Hurricanes all the time, FEMA in action. Texas wildfires? Not so much.
Now why is that?

I do not know why it has not been covered to a greater degree, but apparently Governor Abbott requested Federal aid and support and FEMA answered the call:



I'm going to presume that the reason it has not been covered to the same degree as, say, the Hawaii wildfires is because a whole old city wasn't wiped out with 100+ people killed.

Abbott has spent billions pissing away on the border... Texas has PLENTY of resources for this natural disaster but Abbott would rather use taxpayer money for his stunts than help the citizens of Texas.

I agree, that's good. We are, after all, talking about a significant impact to the food supply, right?

Fair, I suppose on the basis of 'If it bleeds, it leads'. But I'd also observe, again, that it is the nation's food supply here.
How do you think the 'already stretched to the breaking point consumers' are going to handle if all those Texas crops and livestock dropping out of the feed supply chain?
Doesn't look pretty to me.

Damn.

Bet your wondering why we didn’t invest in CO2 reduction 30 years ago.

Oh, wait. No.

Ha! I've been waiting to hear this. It was always only a matter time before the beggar state asked for socialism, I mean federal aid. The top 5 beggar States are:

1) California ($116.0 billion)
2) New York ($79.2 billion)
3) Texas ($68.2 billion)
4) Florida ($41.7 billion)
5) Pennsylvania ($41.0 billion)

But the important thing is that Texas [and Florida] tamp down their disgust for socialism long enough to receive it, before going back to bashing California and New York for being socialists. Oh, and both Texas and Florida have no individual income tax. Don't worry Texas, responsible America is on the way! ..............again.

You are wrong.​


There was a huge segment this past weekend on CNN about this. There has also been coverage on ABC World News Tonight, MSNBC, and PBS. Maybe if you watched something other than fox propaganda you would know this.
