I fixed your quote, it now makes sense.

you really need to read a book or something. anything other than posting ignorant bullshit.

[PosPosPos]

Isn't this the socialism everyone wants?

Nope, it's the GOP crony capitalism by your side of the aisle.

Using contractors is literally capitalism.

Socialism would have had the government doing it themselves.

Educate yourself.

Alt-righters can't be educated.

I wonder what the long term effects of eating MRE packets instead of normal meals would have.

At least, I don't have to wonder what the long term effects of subscribing to alternative realities instead of a normal one would have.

Real Canadians don't attack other nations OP.

Exactly, and well the OP should be more concerned with what is happening in their own backyard, before telling everyone else what they should do..

The US government failing again? You don't say?

Isn't this the socialism everyone wants?

I have a feeling you have no idea what socialism is.

Nice way of ignoring all these fuck ups.

Purges in the USSR were mostly pre WW2 and shortly thereafter and more or less ended after Stalin died.
The USSR were more successful in agriculture and other areas during the Khrushchev era agriculture and other areas were compared the failures of the West but there was a massive era of failure during the early 80's under Brezhnev which started the begining of the end.
Now as to food in the USSR it was adequate to meet nutritional levels during the 80s based on a CIA report that can be found if you google it, they lacked however great variety or greater quality of foods like there was/is in the wester world.

Now I never said that either system was paradise thank you very much.



2 VW executives were jailed so far and no end in sight yet.
As for BSE I need to look that up as that was over 25 years ago.
And with regards to long term effects of eating MRE packets it must be safe or not a single soldier would touch the damn stuff, they have been eating that stuff for decades.

Didn't one of the Russian presidents come to the US at some time in the Cold War and get figuratively blown away from the amount and variety of food found in a gas station convenience store? If so that says more about the condition of Russia than any studies could ever tell. The leader of a nation. Impressed by the food in a convenience store. Think about that. Could you see the queen swinging through a McDonalds drive thru and commenting that she'd never had food so fine before?

FEMA worked fine under the Obama administration when they were needed for disasters. Only when Republicans and their crony dealings does FEMA fail to work for the American people. Funny how that works.

Trump and Republicans don't care about Puerto Ricans and while this should be a huge scandal the media would rather focus on stupid shit like the daily lies told by Sarah Sanders or Trump's 14 year old girl tweets. The media is totally failing the people. You gotta hand it to right-wing media and how they operate to trick their viewers. Just a few years ago the most patriotic thing an American could be was pro-law enforcement. Now the Republican war on law enforcement is in full swing and their consumers are non-the wiser to how their opinion on a subject has so drastically changed. If only the MSM would focus more on Trump corruption instead of his fucking tweets we'd be better off.

[PACOX]

Maybe they didn't want people to get fat?

[Mister Cheese]

FEMA is fucking retarded what else is new?

[Gref]

Isn't this the socialism everyone wants?

Sarcasm right?

Also why wouldn't they check a single person with 5 failed contracts before beyond my understanding. So much bullshit here.

Educate yourself.

Foreign aid/disaster relief is inherently a socialistic endeavor. That it is so often mishandled due to corruption, incompetence, and minimalism can be seen as a microcosm of the failings of such political systems. This is in contrast to the paranoia of communism, wherein the task would have been assigned to two or more competing agencies, all of which would have still produced an inadequate solution, and then all solutions would be haphazardly applied to the problem simultaneously to get a somewhat acceptable result.

I fixed your quote, it now makes sense.

Well I found out our problem, you think education is brainwashing.



We dun need no skool!

Well, aside from picking the wrong person...FEMA didn't actually do anything here.

Well it is not their problem, it is the USA's problem to remedy..

[Kapadons]

I don’t get why the outrage ?

The lady got the contract, fucked up, got the contract pulled and now faces inquiries. Granted she fucked up and didn’t deliver the meals but it also appears she didn’t get all of the money either. Seems they found someone else that could deliver. Yes it would have been nice if we skipped the step of her fucking up, but the story itself says no one starved because of her screw up.

How true. The last time before this that FEMA really messed up was when Bush was in office.

Maybe she shouldn't have gotten the contract in the first place. This kind of things cost money even when you have to void the contract because the other party didn't end up doing their job.

Plus it's delivering food for a disaster relieve area......other parties picked up the slack but you really want people to starve to death with the excuses that the contractor who shouldn't have gotten the contract based on her history and size couldn't deliver?

Canada has a population of like 20 people. No country has anywhere near the reserves of ready-made food to cover the natural disasters that the U.S. dealt with last year.

Countries did in fact have that kind of reserve around back during the cold war.
Those meals weren't "self heating" as that would have been a waste, a logistical nightmare and affected the best by date by a few decades, but the heating system that was to go with them was simple to distribue with them. I still have some of that equipment around from when Germany decided to get rid of most of its reserve storages (which I think they shouldn't have). I have a flat over there that I use sporadically and these things keep another thirty years at least.

Maybe he is from somewhere else, that might also explain his obsession with bad news about Finland.
Maybe he lives next to it?

[zorkuus]

I would be interested to know how she was selected for the contract.

The same old story: nepotism.

[jdbond592]

Trump wins again? MAGA?

Bad democrats? Communism?

I just want to cover all grounds. Let nothing get in way of "free market" fixing all our ills.

[Mihalik]

Isn't this the socialism everyone wants?

The cod Republican answer to all problems is "less government". The reality is that what would be needed here is the polar opposite. More government. Government controlled (not necessarily fully owned) and operated suppliers with a sufficiently large supply oversight apparatus.
