We all have empathy but like everything in America its through the prism of race. Notice federal help arrived almost immediately. Biden declared many counties disaster areas so the federal aid can arrive as quickly as possible.But those self same counties will continue to vote red.
The root cause of these and many of these disasters is climate change which the oil and gas companies have paid the GQP stooges and media as a hoax. Though once in a generation rains can't be planned on, we can plan an infrastructure to survive it but lack the will as a country to do so.
