Americans have reacted with utter disgust after Joe Biden announced that victims of the California fires are to receive a one time paltry payment of $770 if they apply for it.
Biden’s announcement came during a White House meeting with other federal officials on Monday, where he stated “I want to be clear, we’re not waiting until those fires are over to start helping the victims. We’re getting them help right now.”
“People impacted by these fires are going to receive a one-time payment of $770, one-time payment, so they can quickly purchase things like water, baby formula, and prescriptions,” Biden continued, adding “So far, nearly 6,000 survivors have registered to do just that, and $5.1 million has gone out.”
The people of LA and the surrounding areas impacted by the fires will enjoy $20 more than the victims of last year’s Hurricane Helene, who received $750, and a whopping $70 more than victims of the August 2023 Maui wildfires.
