LOL, they've pocketed more money than P T Barnum, and for the same reason, "there's a sucker born every minute"

Early in my career, I sometimes supervised a UMWA dozer operator who worked on a coal refuse impoundment in Mingo County who became a millionaire doing work on the side following the 1977 flood. FEMA had not yet been created but some federal agency made him a millionaire over a short period of time. Unfortunately, he decided to continue working instead of retiring and he was a difficult employee to say the least. He enjoyed reminding me that he did not really need the job, but I was stuck with him. nicker:

FEMA has made many people wealthy. All that disaster assistance does not make it to the real victims.
