Surely you all know that this is not the end of the aid the government is going to give, that it is only a quick cash infusion to help with immediate expenses? Because some of your are acting like you don’t know that. This was the same line put forward by the Rs after the Vermont floods. It takes time to get full disaster relief to an area, especially when one party is threatening to put preconditions on that aid or to block it entirely.

Whether it is enough or not is a different question…

They’re working ceaselessly towards an actual disaster relief, you could say?

Given the government aid people received in previous disasters, that’s exactly the level of aid people can expect. Absolutely hilarious that you’re acting like you don’t know that.

Here is an article from Fox. Look for the link Can I get more assistance. https://www.foxla.com/news/california-fires-770-fema-checks-how-to-apply

You can find the same information in many other sources.

Do you have any actual proof that other disaster victims received “exactly the level of aid” of $770 without further assistance? Or, is it a consequence of misinformation?

Or, is it a consequence of misinformation?

Your belief that the US government would meaningfully help its citizens during a disaster is the actual consequence of misinformation. One day the disaster will come to your home, and the government will abandon you, too.
