And now here's Armstrong and Getty.

So Trump has specifically said he wants states not FEMA to run disaster response, which is

definitely not a crazy idea because I've heard many times over the years that people

talk about, you know, they're doing something, they're doing fine.

You need the money from the federal government, but you're doing fine, and and then the FEMA people coming in bigfoot you and all of a sudden you can't

oh okay i thought we were talking about maybe not having federal funding for disaster relief

because i've heard the argument that look if you choose to live in whatever, you know, Hurricane Island, Florida,

why am I paying for that here in Placid Weather, Nebraska?

Perfectly good question, and that should be worked out.

Especially if you rebuild over and over in places where it either catches on fire or falls into the sea.

Why are the people in Nebraska paying to rebuild your house on a regular basis? But I'm not, I'm not ready to advocate

one point of view or another. I just think it's an interesting question because then you might

get into, well, wait a minute, the state of Florida with its imports yields, you know, 1.7

times as many dollars of taxes, blah, blah, blah, than any other state. And so what are you doing?

But it's definitely not hard to imagine that your state response, because you got state agencies that deal with these sorts of things on a smaller level, a big one happens. And you know, you're laying the groundwork and you got somebody in charge and you're with people, and you know the people better in the area and everything like that.

And then a bunch of federal people show up and then just another layer of this and that slows it down by a lot.

I'm guarantee you that's what happens.

Anywho, we'll see how that goes.

A couple interesting things that happened out of Davos yesterday.
