Finally FEMA invades Texas!

Serious question, how are they doing? Trailers? Money? Will all the people I'm seeing in hotels is FEMA paying and when does that run out? Or will this be a cataclysmic credit event for them?
Bigger question is the uninsured. Does the Gubmint make them whole? And how?

Democrats, in Texas especially, need to press how socialism works.

And Texas Governor Abbott says that now is no time for playing politics. Save that for next week when Florida gets clobbered.

This is Dump's America.

And don't think for one second all undocumented workers won't be hired. Like Katrina people will be imported from all over the poorer countries. As long as it'a "unskilled" labor.

Man, this is huge and ripe for abuse. The largest building project in history will be rebuilding 200,000 homes. Schools, commercial properties. BOOMTOWN, all over again.

Where is that skilled workforce coming from? Especially on prevailing wage jobs like schools, libraries etc...
