They are both plausible.  

I'm cool with either one

So FEMA delivered water to Puerto Rico, just never actually passed it out.

Somehow Rico is going to claim it's Trump's fault.

In response to an earlier letter from Warren, Brock Long, director of FEMA, wrote on Aug. 14 that as of July 30, his agency had received 2,431 requests for funeral assistance from Puerto Ricans related to the hurricane — they approved just 75 of them, meaning 97% have either been rejected or have not received a decision almost a year after Maria hit the island.

Funeral assistance?

From the article.

FEMA's funeral assistance is intended to help people who have lost loved ones in disaster situations pay for funeral costs, including caskets, mortuary services, burial plots, and cremations.

So a person who has a family member die from cancer gets nothing, but a hurricane gets you help?

 

[Adam]

I don’t know man I mean disaster relief is probably one of the only functions of government that should exist. Anyway, if I die in a disaster you can honor me by calling angel talk and asking terry why Ohtani doesn’t play 2nd base

Well if one person dies from cancer generally the community can come together and help that family out.  But if the entire community is devastated... ?

Um yeah, that doesn't happen often.  Perhaps in close knit communities and churches but I would think that is about it.

When a family member passes away we all pitch in and help with the funeral costs.  But imagine having multiple family members die in the same natural disaster.

So when a fire happens and a whole family dies they get help from FEMA?

I doubt it.

Homeowner insurance covers funeral expenses.

Since we have these hurricanes every single year, maybe we ought to be funding FEMA more and buying fewer F-35’s.  Especially the ones we’re buying for other countries.

I think you get what I mean.  This is just one more way of saying one person's death is more important than another's.

No, no, no, no.

FEMA just acts like an insurance for when natural disasters happen.  We have home insurance, car insurance, and life insurance.  Unfortunately many of these policies don't cover "Acts of god".  That is where FEMA comes in.

You can get hurricane insurance, just like earthquake insurance that covers "acts of God."

Only about 50% of houses in the U.S. territory are covered by policies that protect against wind damage, which is far less than is typical across the U.S.

A family friend sells insurance, he said earthquake insurance is useless because if the kind of earthquake it covers were to occur, everyone would need it, and they wouldn't be able to pay out. It's the same thing that happened with flood insurance in Houston last year.

I wonder how many parents would want her back in their school. I'm sure there would be a line of pimple faced 14 year olds petitioning to at least have her as the home room teacher. 

Dick Suck Dori. There is no way she is avoiding that tag.
