    “FEMA selects where all responders can be centrally located to ensure the most effective response possible. Due to the lack of available lodging, FEMA negotiated government rates, at the lowest possible cost, for staff temporarily staying in the available hotels. As we transition into recovery, staff will move to longer term, more affordable lodging as they fulfill our commitment to support Maui,” the agency said in a statement to NewsNation.

    But you girls must have your outrage, of course. (They’re paying $345/night btw.)

    I don’t give a shit about the negotiated government rate, you imbecile.

    And the excuse that there wasn’t enough lodging in Kaanapali in fucking August following a natural disaster 5 miles down the road is so beyond absurd I don’t know what to say.

    There was an opportunity to stay at the 3 nicest resorts in all of HI and they said fuck it, let’s do it.

    It’s bad no matter how you look at it. Bad optics. Bad logistics. Bad explanation.

    But no one cares. Tomorrow we’ll have more trump court news to distract us from this shit.

    No, of course you don't care about the rate. I've noticed how quickly you girls have scurried from the rate ($1,000 a night!!!) to some other outrage.

    #badoptics!!!

    I never mentioned cost once. Pay attention, stupid.
    You all look alike.

    "Why a failed emergency response is actually a good thing for the residents of Maui."

    You put the evacuees in the comped luxury rooms and your ICS team stays in trailers or other makeshift accommodations as close to the response as is safe.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    THIS

    FEMA is allegedly there to work, not take a vacation.

    The Government Rate is slightly reduced when traveling and a very limited number of rooms are available at hotels at that rate.
