In their mind, 90% of the population should be living on farms, being "self sufficient."

Given no leadership understanding of the real mission (anticipating and preparing for disasters and helping people in urgent need in a timely manner) and no sense of urgency or focus, saying FEMA is coming will be meaningless and a joke. And with probably the best staffers fired or leaving in disgust and budget cuts....a mere shell of what it could be for the country.
