Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump's nominee for US defence secretary, was confirmed by the Senate late on Friday night, after facing misconduct allegations that nearly derailed his confirmation.

Vice-President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in Hegseth's favour, after three Republican senators, including former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, voted against him.

And now states would have to stand up whole new agencies that can manage disasters on that scale, hire people who have expertise in all sorts of random emergencies/disasters and invest in resources they may never use.
There is going to be so much duplicative waste, loss of resources and lack of particular expertise.
Incredibly dumb idea.
Very on brand for them

you and budaatum lack reasoning. you support anything that destroys. FEMA stopped working 4 years early.
dismantle anything that does not work and replace it with something else. if there is nothing to replace it with, it is not working so why fund it? Zs
A lot of Americans rightfully complain about the healthcare system too. Let’s close down all the hospitals in response.

Do you still go to church? You should.
I don't think I've seen someone lie purposefully and repeatedly like you do here.
It's odd, esp. given you are in your 50's.
You seem to have lost all sense of values.
What broke you that turned you into this internet troll?
It sounds like some people here used to speak respectfully of you in the past.
Now you're a self hating, racist apologist Trumper.

I'm sure this will break you even more.
Not only do I pay ~$50 monthly for my plan. That payment includes 2 phone lines and an internet line.

The health care system is not FEMA. FEMA is a woke project now with so many misguided priorities. what does not work does not work. The healthcare system can only be made better. FEMA has to be replaced with something better.

Get a credit card, start out with something with 0 or a moderate fee seeing you don't travel often. And when you start traveling more, you can upgrade to something that has more perks on it.
Run all your purchases through it and pay it off at the end of the month. (I'm relatively cashless in the US, and credit cards have better protections as well)
Depending on what card you get you can earn points you can use to buy airfare or upgrade flights. (better redemption than redeeming it for cash).
You’re right about this. Excellent point .
I just booked a Mallorca resort vacation for summer. Worth over $5,000 & paid $0.00 because of points.

Still have hundreds of thousands of points (about 350k) left over in my Hilton account for future trips. And I alternate the same way with my Marriot and Hyatt accounts. What sense does it make pay that $5k for a resort stay when I can get it for 0.00 as long as I’m using my outstanding credit?

The credit system is there to serve the customer. It’s one of the benefits of living in advanced society. No need to pay cash and not get benefits for my cash. I understand that people get excited and overspend more than they earn and get into trouble so that’s why some people avoid credit.

1) Live within your income means
2) Earn cash, Pay with credit and pay off the credit before it’s due.
3)Never accumulate debt.
4)Accumulate and save up your points for future rewards, upgrades, free hotel stays, access to luxury lounges on your trips etc. Rinse and repeat.

I believe the gentleman you’re arguing with knows this too. He’s been in America too long to not know. Hopefully the ones who don’t know can’t get a tip or two. 🤷🏽‍♀️

People still speak respectfully to me and I respectfully to people because most people are mature and sensible just not you.

I have related to many people on this same thread for over 10yrs and we never had anything besides respectful exchanges even when we disagree

You are a despicable, unintelligent, narcissist, poor, rude irritant and I have taken it to put you in your place. Look around and see how many people think you are a terrible person. I knew you are an underachieving bitter idiot but I was willing to leave your failing asss alone until you decide to talk a big game which your poverty stricken self can't live up to

Which is why I turned you into Reek.

Trip sounds dope.
Was it a foodie resort?
Interesting in how you find it.

I learned about points when I was 27 and wish I had known earlier. It's was a big life/money hack.
Flights were one of the biggest hacks. I have enough rewards/points spread out over various airlines that I can book flights early, whenever I get invited to an event. I can then make up my mind and cancel even the day of the flight without a penalty.

If you can follow the rules you posted, it's worth more than worth it.

Points are a marginal benefit. You can’t start a business with bank loan without a good credit history. Even if you have the cash, why wouldn’t you use the banks’ money that’s already insured?

Little things like these show you truly don’t know what you don’t know. Even as “small” a benefit as they are, why would I pay thousands every time I go on a trip if my points can cover it at no cost to me? About 6 countries in the last few months and I only paid for hotels like 3 times. That’s a few extra thousands in my pocket instead of paying it when I didn’t need to. I don’t know what you think is funny but it truly shows you’re out of your depth here.

Anyway I’m not interested in arguing about level of wealth. I’m middle class not wealthy. I’m not Elon or 1/100th of his level of wealth. So I find this to be good financial advice. It’s also for the benefit of anyone who doesn’t know. They can pick up a tip on how not to spend money they don’t have to spend. That’s all it is .
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by cococandy(f): 5:41am On Jan 25, 2025
It’s for the coming summer. I haven’t gone yet. I’m sure it’ll be worth it. A colleague who has similar travel tastes as I do recommended it.

God. You should learn to not speak when you have 0 idea what you are talking about esp. when you're trying to pretend you live in the US.
Google the Amex Black Card, how to get it, who has it and its benefit structure.
You are so uninformed it's embarrassing.

Of course you have to be Raumdeuter's padi.

Next thing he’ll be saying it’s better to rent and pay cash for your rental than to get a mortgage and “owe the bank”. 🫠

Even their billionaire daddy Trump never paid cash. That’s why he was able to trash his business credit and file for bankruptcy 6 times. Imagine if he only dealt in cash. He would’ve lost everything and gone back to Germany where his father is from.
