For what?  You said you don’t give a poo about my family and I returned a favor and now you get upset?  Weird how it works right?

FYI, you decided to make a joke over million people who just recently died in a conflict.  It’s not funny to people who actually lost loved ones there.

I’m sorry for your loss but I care about America and my people. Yours aren’t any of my concern. Again, with all due respect, I’m sorry for your loss but I care about my family and neighbors which are Americans. Sorry bud. 

seriously a pretty shitty attitude.

[Panthers Fan 69]

Listen, I had people die in western NC too. Lives ruined. Homes gone. Ukraine gets 8 billion and my family gets $750.  Americans shouldn’t get less than another country in travesty. Never. Americans first. That’s my point … it was more tongue in cheek. I was out there helping, I saw the damage. I’m sorry for his losses, I truly am, but right now, my family and friends are the concern for me. @rayzornot sure how that’s a shitty Attitude. My focus is more on my friends and family. Like his is his focus.  I’m done with this topic. Please keep politics off this thread.like I said a week ago, it’s for western nc info and help only.

And that's not all. Fema has much more aid available. The 750 was just so people could buy food, baby supplies, and the like. If people are buying the BS being spread by social media/politicians/trolls and aren't applying for the aid, that's their fault.

It’s a lot less about the $750 and more about the 8 billion. I think you both would agree 8  billion would go along way to rebuild Asheville, Chimney Rock, people homes and business here in NC. I’m telling you guys from people that I’ve rubbed elbows with a few weeks ago to locals in the community that it feels like a slap in the face to them. They feel their government cares more about other countries then their own people.

You're looking at it wrong. It's not that the government cares more about other countries because they don't. The government cares about giving money to the ultra wealthy through the defense contractors. Even though they say they're giving 8 billion to Ukraine, they're not. All Ukraine is, is a proxy for the US and an excuse to keep defense spending up. The government is buying 8 billion worth of weapons, ammo, and such from US defense contractors, which profits the ultra wealthy. The US' use of innocent people and their deaths to enrich the already ultra wealthy is what should be a slap in the face, especially if you're a Christian.

When you see a news story about one kajillion dollars in aid sent to Ukraine, it isn't Joe Brandon writing a check drawn off an account named "money for poor people in Western North Carolina".  Cash transfers to Ukraine are minimal and most of the dollar figure is just poo that was sitting around in storage costing millions of dollars in upkeep.  Most of the rest is, as jay said, federal handouts to defense contractors in the good 'ol US of A.  Something as American as apple pie.

By the way, if you think you're upset about gas prices now, just wait til Putin captures a warm water port.  He who shall not be named can talk all the poo he wants about all the drilling he's going to do and how gas is going to be ten cents a gallon or whatever, but crude is a globally traded commodity and that will never happen.

Go vote for the guy that staged a political insurrection for his own narcisstic and greedy impulses.  I am sure he will save you.
