The whole situation is absurd. She’s officially the admin, but Trump keeps saying Musk is in charge, Musk keeps saying he’s NOT in charge, and her appointment is likely a smokescreen so they have someone to throw under the bus when the lawsuits come rolling in.

That’s why “may or may not”. She’s the admin until legally tested, because the administration can’t actually even bother to lie well.

They do, though. Tons of flood insurers and fire insurance companies mysteriously pulled out over hurricane and fire season in Florida and across the West Coast last year. It was a huge thing.

peace through strength Hmmmmm. Where have I heard that before?

It’s not sad, but there’s a lot of anxiety inducing moments.

Mostly because all of that is a highly-confusing tangle. Food stamps are hilariously limited in most states, same with Medicaid. Section 8/HUD will almost always make sure you wind up living in the most run-down tenement your town has, run by the shittiest landlord, who will almost always be looking for a reason to evict you - and that even assumes you don’t have to wait literal years. The current wait time for Section 8 housing in my city is something like a year and a half.
