Rephrase that. Tell us what you really think ! You might want to look up the definition of "smug". I can tell you who is smug about what's happened in Texas. The Counterfeit News Network, (CNN). Dana Bash say we need Federal oversight.
Screw You, Were From Texas
We will and always have regulated ourselves. We are doing damn good.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired

Hyp-O-crisy........I just wonder how all of those people with wrecked pipes/walls/floors/etc are going to pay for all of that damage....? |

How are we going to pay for it ? We are going to use your money,  . We help pay for all those that choose to live in hurricane zones, those that choose to live in wild fire zones, those that choose to live in flood zones, earthquake zones.
Screw You, Were From Texas
I have damage. I don't need a frucking thing as far as help. I have more than I need and, actually, I am helping others.

This I agree with! Reference the assistance, it's already arriving, No idea who asked for it but, I've been seeing electric utility and bucket trucks headed your way for a couple of days now.

No matter what the heck is happening- Shouldn't we be willing to help out our fellow Americans? I really like that OK is sending crews to help- and that ALL states have sent aid.
I seem to remember that we are all in the same country...."Right"?

You seem to forget, not know or ignore the fact that some states get that federal disaster aide on a routine basis. Texas doesn't.
Much of that "routine" disaster aide is because of bad decisions consistently made by those same states. They know it's going to happen and still do the same things over and over again.

Do you have a clue ? We help out the World. Who is OK sending out to help ? Plumbing crews ?
We got this. Help is appreciated.
Yes, we are in the same country. The Divided States Of America.

"Texas, Florida, California and North Carolina Are Most Dependent on FEMA Aid (ValuePenguin)"
ValuePenguin(.com); July 30, 2020.
https://www.prnewswire.com/...finds-301103304.html
I's very short. Just a little beyond a single page. Here are the first two "bullet" points:
- Since 2017, FEMA has allotted more than $45 billion toward disaster relief and financial aid in the United States, of which more than 80% has been used. $10 billion remains unspent, free to be included in future budgets.
- Texas has received the most money from FEMA, totaling more than $7.6 billion in federal aid and spending more than $6.2 billion. Florida, California and North Carolina also received more than $1 billion in federal aid in the last three years. Arizona, Montana and Utah received the smallest amount of FEMA disaster relief, [only] amounting to less than $10 million since 2017.
FEMA assistance, of course, is only one of the many ways of trying to quantify the beneficence of the Federal government on a state by state basis.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 02-21-2021).]
