yeah, the Spain/Portugal blackout was caused by what you suspected [assuming you haven't been guzzling the panic-spewer Koolaid]

Yikes, we've never had blackouts until alternate energy came along.

Is FEMA considered socialism? I always related it more to insurance.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I thought it was emergency response. I don't know anyone who equates that with socialism. Sounds like the TDS crowd is breaking their pills in half again.

Terapined seems to think allocating federal tax dollars to aid in disaster relief is ‘socialism’. I just consider it the normal workings of our non-socialist government.

It is interesting (and telling) that the loser Democrats are harping on the fact that the Trump administration is not Willy nilly giving money to a REPUBLICAN state! That maybe they decided it didn’t rise to the level of a disaster that requires federal assistance? Should Buffalo get disaster aid for every snowstorm that requires plowing?

????????
Is ironic humor over your head?
It's the Republicans that consider FEMA socialism
I'm making fun of Republicans begging for what THEY consider socialism
Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would have helped Arkansas. I'm ok with my tax dollars helping Arkansas recover from a disaster. It's Republicans that are not OK with helping Arkansas. I have a lot of compassion for Americans that are suffering. That's why I lean left. I'm not a thoughts and prayers supporter. Instead I support FEMA

In Florida homeowners pay a lot of money into FEMA for flood insurance.

Does the snow in Buffalo meet the definition of "disaster" under Federal law to warrant aid?
