I like this article because it gets into disaster relief and how much certain states are allowed. States that contribute to the economy more are allowed more disaster relief in order to rebuild what they supposedly have going. A place such as Florida or Georgia barely get aid when even a hurricane comes and whips out their cities. But California with it's economic prestige is applying and most likely will get disaster aid. This also comes with the event in which causes the disaster. Here we have a high wind situation that knocked out power to millions of people and caused millions in damage. At the end of the article the interviewed people and asked what they were doing as a result of the damage. Many reported their so bored they go to bed at 6:30pm. REALLY. I guess California needs to be without power for much longer in order to re-instate some sanity. Quote from the article "many are just bored without their computers and TVs." Great, instead of giving aid to people who truly need it, now it's going towards putting the power back on in California.
