Forecasters have warned of another “particularly dangerous weather situation” across northern Los Angeles where residents are braced for new wildfire evacuation orders.
Los Angeles, and parts of Ventura county to the north, faced “extreme fire risk” warnings through Wednesday, with officials warning of “significant risk of rapid fire spread” due to the Santa Ana winds – which have gusts of up to 75mph.
This is the fourth time in recent months that Los Angeles has faced a “particularly dangerous weather situation”, and the three previous warnings all resulted in major wildfires, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Were there any demands for conditions like you suggest on aid for the hurricane victims? For COVID relief? For flood victims?
If there were demands like this for all the other aid packages the US deals out every single year, then these aren’t “conditions” on aid… it’s just aid in the normal fashion. There would be no need to demand “conditions” if the conditions are the same as in every other crisis, which either means they want more conditions or they are acting like assholes to make their asshole voters happy. If there were NOT demands like this in the past, why are you OK with them now?
Without knowing which hurricane or flood victims you’re asking about I can’t answer as for them. But for the COVID pandemic? Yes, absolutely. The CARES Act has tons of sections that impose requirements on recipients. It’s not like the federal government just gave away 2.2 trillion dollars no strings attached.
