Privatizing FEMA

Of all the stupid ideas, that's one of the stupidest. It's similar to when Britain privatized their rail infrastructure, gave the company lots of free money, and then they had absolutely no incentive to spend it on upgrading the lines. FEMA privatization would be like that. Give a private entity free money, and their incentive would be to... keep all the free money. Not, you know, help out people in need.
