I lived in Yancey county for 15 years, and know two of the people mentioned. The trauma suffered is unimaginable. This article captures some of the terror of those days.

After the dressing down you have her about being over budget? Shameless

FEMA response to Helene in WNC was inadequate. More agents were needed, especially in heavily damaged Yancey County where the local government truly didn’t know what to do. Y’all don’t know devastation until you’ve lived it and tried to rebuild. It’s horrible. And now it’s going to get worse.

I’ve gone back in time, listening to The Bee Gees this week. Lonely Days is stuck in my head.

The kitchen and the garden are places where I can soothe my soul.

As a property owner in WNC, I’m livid. We just restored electricity to my building and have yet to get water restored. The need is so great. I’m beyond disgusted

Screw you, Mike Johnson. I’m on Medicaid since I lost my rental income to the floods in WNC and am spending my days rehabbing my historic building. That IS my job right now. Dignity, my ass.

This right here!

Beyond Asheville and Buncombe County are more devastated counties. Yancey in particular has the most widespread damage. The old building I own took in 6’ of flood water and every single bit of clean up has happened due to volunteers. The government on all levels has failed us.

I’m rewatching the West Wing and had never considered myself a fan of the fantasy genre until now.

It was a rhetorical question. These idiots act like they are invincible, and as they’re not held to account, they’ll continue to do so. And so far, nobody is holding them to account so here we are.

I’m holding my breath waiting for Democrats to hold someone accountable.

Please please do something! We’ve been shocked and now we’re joking about the absurdity, but please Democrats, do something! This has to stop. They have no idea what they’re doing!

There’s dumbing down and there’s knowing your audience.

Of course, there’s an argument to expanding their vocabulary, but that’s not the hill we want to die on rn.

Despicable when so many in the disaster zones in WNC are food insecure rn.

Let’s work hard to make sure voters don’t forget about this betrayal at election time.

Those placards look like something we call “funeral fans” in the South.

Sitting in their perceived powerlessness. Fucking pathetic.
