  • Which a stock market crash does in the long term. They are better positioned to weather a recession then anyone else and during a recession there is ample opportunities to buy property and ownership from those that couldn’t weather it, further centralized wealth among the billionaires. In another way, think of covid, did you see many huge corporations go out of business? No, but i know a ton of small businesses that couldn’t weather the storm and went out of business, guess who gets to replace them when consumers look for their wares.

    Bad thing about putting disaster response to the state is that they can decide not to serve a city based on political leanings. Not that this couldn’t be done at the national level, but harder at least. Gov. Abbot did this during Hurricane Harvey to Houston with state funds. Houston had been one of the biggest bastions of democratic voters during the recent elections so they rewrote their state disaster relief funds stipulations to severely underfund areas with high population density.
