As an outsider with only a basic understanding of American politics, I’ve come to the conclusion that FEMA might not just be about helping people. Instead, it seems like a tool to take control of situations like hurricanes, overriding the American people's natural tendency to act independently and help each other.
In times of crisis, neighbors would normally step up, and communities would rally together. But when FEMA steps in, control is centralized, creating a dependency on federal assistance. This shifts the focus from "we can do this ourselves" to "we need help from the government," slowly eroding the American spirit of self-reliance. It makes you wonder: is this really about helping, or is it about control?
