The reason New Orleans drowned is that they privatized the emergency evacuation planning, and canceled the FEMA plans. Now Trump’s saying he's going to eliminate FEMA by December. Understand, in a hurricane, in a flood, these are our lifeguards. And when you talk about privatization of our emergency response systems, it’s not privatization, it’s briberization. They're turning hurricanes, floods, and wildfires into a profit center — and more people are going to die as a result.
For more on this, watch my 1 hour special All Washed Away (now on Substack and YouTube) which highlights the horrific connection between the drownings in Kerr County and those in New Orleans — 20 years ago this month — and the Trump/DOGE scheme to sell off FEMA.
