With regards to the Maui fire, no one is talking abt the crisis that FEMA themselves created. They didn’t care about how much or how negligently the money was distributed, so FEMA would offer 2X current rates (upwards of $7000/month) to landlords which incentivized them to kick out existing tenants and cause a bigger problem but no one talks about it. It’s gross incompetence but the media is silent about it.
- y-c-o-m-b 2y agoI had no idea about this, but did manage to find an article from this summer on it: https://abcnews.go.com/US/maui-strong-808-maui-fire-survivors-upset-living/story?id=110984642 https://abcnews.go.com/US/maui-strong-808-maui-fire-survivor... You're right though, not much mainstream media traction on this story. > FEMA has allocated $197 million to three companies, none of which are based in Hawaii, to administer the Direct Lease program Smells of borderline corruption from the get-go. What a shit show.
