Disaster Belief

The rubes can't handle disasters, she says:

Brennan was asking Vance about President Donald Trump possibly “reforming or getting rid of” FEMA. “Instead of sending emergency responders, he may start to send a percentage of money to states to take care of themselves,” Brennan said, before claiming southern states are not competent to manage the funding themselves. “The way that we administer these resources — some of which is coming from the federal level, some of which is coming from the state level — we’ve got to get the bureaucrats out of the way and get the aid to the people who need it most,” Vance said. “But these are the first responders,” Brennan interrupted. Vance said while Brennan may “talk about expertise from FEMA,” the agency has “been a disaster” in places like California, Florida, and North Carolina due to “bureaucratic red tape and garbage” keeping resources from “people who need it most.” “But the states are now going to have to do this themselves?” Brennan asked — as if they couldn’t. “The president is trying to encourage us to reform the way that we deliver emergency response,” Vance said. He added that when he visited North Carolina as a vice presidential candidate, “FEMA would get resources — food, medicine, water — to a warehouse but then would have no plan to get it from the warehouse to the people in the mountains who were literally starving and thirsting to death. We can do so much better.”

Certainly better than wealthy Califoria did...
