  1. No government can afford to provide permanent or semi permanent housing and support due to costs and limited budgets. History has proven this both nationally and internationally in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the Fukushima Japan Tsunami. Time for affected individuals to enact their Plan B as did those in New Orleans and Fukushima.

  2. Here’s a tip the government snuck through a bill to illegally, bury the toxic waste from the Lahaina fire, 70 feet from the ocean . Check Willie Nelson’s sons page @LukasNelson they are meeting at 8 AM tomorrow in Maui details on their page.

  3. Biden feels your pain and understands. He had a grease fire in his kitchen and almost lost his cat. 🤡🙄🤡🙄

  4. Take care of Maui God bless.so much sus going on with this it's ridiculous

  5. 100s of billions for wars and other countries people. But not our , local people. America should be ashamed of themselves

  6. Only if they had a few billion dollars to help… but no weapons they need

  7. Oprah and other billionaires should donate land ?

  8. Where the big black celebrities?

  9. This sounds like a project tailor-made for ICON 3-D printed housing systems of Texas, if ever there was any. News media: please contact them. Then get-r done.

  10. Sorry. Money only for Israel and Ukraine.

  11. Meanwhile illegals getting money hotel rooms and food and essentials all paid by taxpayer's from the open boarders. Good job if you voted for Biden and his worthless administration 👍

  12. May God bring help 🙏🏽

  13. You mean the 700 bucks Biden gave them didn’t fix everything..

  14. Maybe the Non profit Clinton Foundation will help

  15. Who cares Ukraine needs $$ to buy Hunter's Artwork

  16. FEMA will keep them homeless. Guaranteed.

  17. Biden thanks you for your Vote!

  18. Illegal South Americans will take all jobs from hawaiian

  19. If only Biden and Dems were so desperate to get aid to Hawaii as they are for Ukraine and Israel.

  20. Lahina should temporarily identify as Ukraine and it will then get all the money it needs and then some.

  21. I wanna help but I'm stuck in Texas Ben Shapiro won't back off of me!!!!!

  22. Oprah Winfrey Dwayne Johnson $$$$$
