California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced just one day after the U.S. officially withdrew from the World Health Organization (WHO) that his state would become the first to join the organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, in a seeming rebuke of the Trump administration’s withdrawal from international collaborations.
Newsom traveled this week to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he was scheduled to speak at an event but was canceled at the last moment. During his trip, he met with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
I was referring to the 2020 fires. And It was both. I say “crying” because literally one week the vocal statement was “we don’t need the federal government” and the next week it was “you need to give us federal aid now”.
Yes, that is what FEMA is for, and California should (and did) get it. But the F is FEMA is Federal. You can’t have it both ways.
Again, I’m not for or against the concept. I’m just saying its very clear California is not able to separate.
If California didn’t send $80 billion more to the federal gov’t than it got back every year, I don’t think they’d need FEMA.
