Hard disagree, many disasters were directly caused by political decisions. Such as the severity and frequency of the last decade of hurricanes. We chose to make them that severe, actively, wantonly chose that. It should be political.
Going to agree with you here, if the people who decide disaster relief are elected or controlled by elected officials, it is inherently political. Was this not the same year that the ex president insulted himself by calling the president of Puerto Rico names do to his response to a hurricane. You know, the same hurricane they obstructed relief funding for
You know, the same hurricane they obstructed relief funding for.
