Myorcas says FEMA is running out of money. Where did it all go?

He is talking about Hurricane Irma in FL. That was in Sept 2017. Trump was in charge then. So, yeah, preferred vendors got preferred. That is the way Trump worked. Even during the pandemic, that was the way he and his administration worked. Shameless corrupt crooks.

excerpt from that post about Irma:

I was able to coordinate several trucks full of supplies to be brought down to the EOC in Marathon. I was privy to the EOC meeting, BUT was informed in that meeting, that all of the semi trucks full of food, water and hygiene supplies were to be turned around and not allowed to be offloaded for distribution by the EOC.

THE REASON they gave us, was that these donations were not from companies on their "preferred vendors list" and that they would not accept them or give them to the residents of the keys impacted by the storm.

It was at that point that I realized, this is ALL ABOUT MONEY. These 'preferred vendors" are getting part of the money being released by the state and federal govt for each disaster. In turn, some of the "vendors" make it on the list because a friend gets them on the list, and in return for getting ridiculously outlandish amounts of compensation for the services they render, they give kickbacks.
