Friends,
I have happy news for the victims of the Southern California wildfires. Former FEMA director and discredited jackass Michael Brown is ready to accept your consulting dollars to help with your evacuation and recovery! The press release makes it clear that he thinks that he’s pretty sure he’s got a handle on how to help, kinda:
Currently, the brush fires are affecting hundreds of local businesses and have forced more than 500,000 people out of their homes. Of these 500,000 people, an estimated 10,000 of them have taken shelter at the local NFL stadium, Qualcomm, vaguely reminiscent of circumstances of Hurricane Katrina evacuees two years ago.
“The agency has learned some hard lessons regarding the handling of mass evacuations especially in regard to the bureaucratic red tape that is involved in such a process,” said Mr. Brown. “This is a tragic time for many of the people of California, and Cotton Companies is working to ensure that normalcy is restored and that businesses and organizations are back up and running as soon as possible.”
Vaguely, sorta similar. In a way. Like, um, football or something.
