There are cases of Bad MRE's being given out, but that was overseas by a relief group that was collecting funds for profit.  I will try and find the reference.   Bat MRE's are all over the place..

I was told the justification for stopping unofficial aid is that they want to vet that the aid is safe, uncontaminated, not spoiled, properly certified equipment, etc etc.  But yeah, whatever the reason is, they intercept unauthorized food, water, medicine, or anything else headed into a disaster zone.

And yeah that reason sounds like bullshit.  It sounds like a solution that’s wrong 99% of the time in order to prevent a problem that might have occurred 1% of the time.  If there’s well researched evidence that people in disaster zones were given rotten food, and that it was worse than starving, or that people were being routinely injured or killed by unapproved rescue choppers then sure fine.  But I don’t believe it. I would need to be convinced.

I could not believe what that administrator said.  Absolutely refused to admit any error.

        Just watch the video of the emergency workers telling the
        helicopter guy he would be arrested if he went back and
        rescued that woman’s husband.  They forced the husband to be
        rescued via rope line across a flooding river.  Endangered him
        and the crew that had to hike in and do the rope rescue.
        Helicopter could have just picked up the guy and had him with
        his wife in 5 minutes.

        Then a few days later they asked the helicopter guy to come
        back and do rescues.  Of course now it was “authorized”.

        It is the mentality of those with “authority”. He was not
        “approved” to to do the rescue. He did not break any law,
        there were no temporary flight restrictions.  He did not
        create a hazard.  He had permission of the guy to come back
        and land there to pick him up.

        He just did something that was not under the control of the
        “authorities”.  They know better of course.  They threatened
        him with arrest.

        So, I find it super easy to believe that the “authorities”
        would impound a truck of anything heading into the area they
        claim to be controlling and managing.

        Chuck there's a lot of space between not being a Paragon of
        efficiency and claiming they are confiscating communication
        devices. WEIRD at best.

        It is in the news.  Just sayin’

        I think it is nice that Elon is out handing out free terminals.

        Just like that private helicopter pilot that rescued the woman
        but was prohibited from making the return flight to get her
        husband, the government is full of people that do not like
        mavricks.  Elon showing up with terminals and having local
        emergency people blocking them or taking them for their own
        use is not beyond the pale.

        Or are you really convinced the FEMA is a paragon of efficiency?

        Sounds like a steaming pile of Trump delusional were made up
        lies to me.

        But thanks Chuck for letting me know where you fall. Or was
        this a joke?

        FEMA is confiscating starlinks Elon is sending to the flood
        area. He is providing free service to anyone that needs it.

        They are also interfering with shipments of starlinks even
        getting to the areas.

        Hmmm wonder if politics is involved....
