This just goes to show states should be MORE self reliant than relying on the federal
Yup. Sure, it would be a nice show of solidarity if foreign nations showed support, but we don't really expect or need it.
Even our own federal government can't be counted on, obviously, and needed to be massively, massively downsized.
Each state should be in charge of their own disaster relief efforts, maybe teaming up with neighboring states. Federal government should be essentially a council, to spur communication, but not have direct power over the states on most issues. If there's any federal aid, it should be going to the state or even city efforts; it shouldn't be some federal hydra that tries to do things its own way.
The whole thing is a joke, and I absolutely despise our current system, which flies in the face of founding principles, and clearly hates us all.
United States of America. Feds need to fuck right off.
