Let's just call Ukraine and tell them we want our money back so we can pay for the damages left by Ian.
Our citizens first!!!
DeSantis and crew along with Fema did a fantastic job getting electric companies rescue crews. Shelters and everything staged and ready to go even Prior to IAN hitting. Great Job Sir ❤️🇺🇸👏👏. Biden is a Disgrace did nothing until AFTER DeSantis called Biden TWICE requesting Major Federal assistance. Biden should have had those funds AVAILABLE up front. Biden’s a Simple Shameful president
I pray to move out of this vulnerable overpriced sweltering state….🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Stubborn family won't move 😡
Southwest Florida is an absolute hellhole in terms of weather this time of year, hopefully it starts to cool off there soon
My heart goes out to the folks in Florida.
Biden wants to send another 13 billion to Ukraine, how bout send it to all the people that lost homes in Florida do to Hurricane Ian
Climate change is "Fake News", everything is fine in Florida, nothing to see here.
This is a bold face lie no one literally no one that deals with Hurricane damages have said this. They say 47 billion at best maybe a little higher.
Let's stop sending foreign aid to Ukraine and other nations and help Americans in Florida.
Let's repeal the COVID bills of which a large portion of the funds aren't even slated to be spent for many years.
Let's stop sending money to the United Nations and NATO and send it to Florida.
There are many things we can and should do to help our fellow Americans.

He gave fucking Ukraine free money in $B. Pay all the expenses for our citizen you moron.
Now, SUDDENLY, Ron DeSantis will become a SOCIALIST and BEG for Federal MOOOOOONNNNEEEYYY – FREE MONEY – to cover the expenses and medical bills and social benefits and… The ALT-RIGHT are socialists when it benefits THEM.
If only they didn’t spend tax money on trafficking immigrants
And how many more of these hurricanes can Florida financially sustain? There will surely be more hurricanes to come as the impacts of climate change continue to affect areas around the world. As ocean temps continue to rise , these hurricanes will intensify in size and frequency .
This is a state issue, not federal
Issue. They know the risk and to
Rebuild there, no.
Not too bad considering how much damage was done. There are single individuals who are worth that much.
Have we crossed the point of no return in terms of damaging the planet? There is no such point. We need to trust that our thought, which is our greatest quality, can change nature. We only need to understand the direction to which we should aim our thoughts. What should we think about? What condition or state should we aspire to and ask for?
In order to save our planet, we should think about positive human connections. That is, how can we, in our connections, keep nature safe? How can we all together protect our world? If we truly wish to better our planet, then we should see people holding a concern for how to positively connect everywhere that we look.
It has nothing to do with recycling or other activities that we commonly associate with as being sustainable. If we come closer to and consider each other, that we will reach an entirely organic, perfectly connected and round state, then the negative forces will disappear from the world.
We need to understand that if we start thinking better about each other, then the planet will recover from all harm, because our thoughts are the strongest force in nature. Likewise, our negative thoughts about each other are entirely to blame for damaging the planet. That is why the more we recycle and invest in energies and activities that we commonly think of as being sustainable, the worse our planet becomes. Nothing will work to benefit us until we reach a state where our attitude changes toward each other for the better to protect and improve our planet..
$258 billion dollars should be no problem. The US spends that much tax payers dollars on WARS and supporting other countries. The government just signed off on $12 billions supporting another war they just lost in Ukraine and to fatten the pockets of the US politicians, Zelensky and those NATO Leaders. Now it is time to help the American citizens and they are worrying about dollar figures.
Wow 🥺 From Cambodia 🇰🇭
Desantis gonna need those millions he wasted on immigrants. Karma.
Wasn’t there a mandatory evacuation? They shouldn’t get any assistance after not leaving. And the people with F$?@Biden flags? Let’s do to them, what Trump did to PR. NO HELP. THATS IT. 😡
I bet they wanna move to California now lol
This Hurricane Will be costliest than Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Harvey $125 billion Dollars
Prayers nationwide for everyone to stay safe and strong at all times I know it’s sad bout your home/car and of course your job but you all need stay strong. There’s a lot of people who’s praying for you right now 🙏🏻
Bull crap…. Insurance companies have trillions of dollars they are not going broke.
When people live on selfishness and greed: Luke 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Matthew 24: 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) There will be famines(I) and earthquakes in various places. 8
#JESUS IS THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. #HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE.
#END CORRUPTION, CRIMES, DRUG CARTEL AND TERRORISM…
We could have paid to help our people in Florida. Too bad Uncle Joe sent billions to Ukraine.
Sad to see all of this but no worries. Good ole joe will up taxes, up gas prices, up rent, up insurance policies. Whatever he wants to do. Get him a few lollipops hopefully we can slow that down.
I wonder if we can get some money back that Biden has been giving away to all these other countries???? You know to help us here at home in Florida…..
these poor people paid there premiums to the tune of thousands and the insurance companies are bankrupt this is very sad for the homeowners my heart is broken for these people May God comfort them through this terrible ordeal
Big government Ron here we come. What an idiot! Takes care of a select few migrants and not the rest of Florida. Why only save 50souls and fast track them to US citizenship and eventually payout a lawsuit? Ron has weird priorities
So according to this report insurance companies were there just to collect & not pay out🤔
They can't pay that's way too much cash
Hey let's rebuild so we can do this over and over again! What a bunch of idiots.
Only an idiot would choose to rebuild in a hurricane, flood, or tornado zone after losing everything and after so much loss of life. This is a wake up call. Global warming or whatever is happening. Reality doesn't wait for you to understand it. It's easier to stay out of trouble than get out of trouble. But you don't always get a second chance.
It's all about how much something Cost not are all the people who stayed are okay
Imagine not building wooden houses & overland lines when rebuilding?!🤔
crazy idea to put energy lines & co under the ground and build stone/concrete buildings in stormy areas, riiiight?! 🙄 atleast the ensurance companys make their billions 🤫
Karma
Glory to Mother India!
So good that US has a Functioning Federal Govt with experienced officials managing everything at this time, it will make all the difference for those effected.
They did Floridians wrong they dumped most of them. As long as they pay on a policey for 10 years. No problem just don't use it.
Ron Deathsantis claims in the Media, Fox News, Donald J Trump is still the President of America. So he can take his hate and vile claims and ask his President Donald J Trump for help.
Trumpies can come and help out Florida with their weapons and vile claims.
Ron Desantis will go on Fox News and speak bad about Joe Biden. Put pressure on Biden to pay for Ron Desantis big spending of shipping Legal Immigrants from Florida.
Ron Desantis cant ask The President for help, so he have to use Fox news to blackmail US President to donate money to rebuild Florida.
The 12 million usd he did use to traffic 48 legal Immigrant, how much of the covid money, they had left was used to his PR stunt?. 0,1% or 0,3%, They did belong to Florida, not Ron Desantis.
My guess is at least 1,1 billion usd of Covid money is still free to use to secure Florida. President Joe Biden should not give a cent before Florida's budget have been looked at. I am sure Congress can find billions of usd used to feed Ron Deathsantis PR stunts.
Florida still have alot of millions of Covid money, so he can rebuild up to 80% of Florida on those. Ron Deathsantis did turn down NY cry for help when they got hit much harder then Florida is so far. He did claim New York had used their budget unwise, so he did turn them down. I hope they stand up for Florida in need, but to rebuild Florida when their Governor cant help others in need, i hope they remember his Cruelty against those in Need. He didnt care about New York so to ask for help to rebuild Florida, when he is cruel did turn down others cry for help is insane.
Didnt he a week ago use 12 million usd on kidnap immigrants and didnt even give them water, food, shelter, to punish them for being without a Home. Yes he did, now Florida have got alot of people without homes, We cant allow him to kidnap those and fly them to Martha Wineyard.
40% sounds fair. They should NOT rebuild. Move somewhere safe. Thoughts and prayers.
So essentially your insurance company that you pay for all this time sure they'll give you your claim but next year they get 40% from everybody so that they get the money back… Sounds to me like you're paying your own insurance why bother having it
