When 50 thousand people were evacuated from the city of Pripyat following the Chernobyl incident in 1986, the Soviet government built an entirely new city, Slavutych in just two years, 50km away, to accommodate those who lost their homes.
From the start, Slavutych was planned to become a “21st-century city”. Compared to other cities in Ukraine, Slavutych has a modern architecture with pleasant surroundings, and the standard of living in the city is much higher than in most other Ukrainian cities.
This would be the last city the Soviet Union would ever build. The entire country would collapse in just two years’ time, but they managed to do something like this.
So if I follow this logic, if the US builds a new city for the displaced victims, it would speed up our nation’s collapse? Let’s fucking go!
Chernobyl was not the reason for the Soviet collapse, which was primarily driven by political and economic factors (i.e. import of Western liberal ideology).
I’m just saying that even a country with declining economy could manage that, let alone the wealthiest country in the world. It’s a matter of political will.
No, I gotcha. I was just trying to make a dumb joke lol.
Yeah but did they have blue jeans?
Oh asking questions??? Go to gulag!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Jordache.
Meanwhile Biden sent another $500 million to Ukraine and $8 billion to pissrael.
We don’t have any more money to help people survive, Jack, we spent it all making people deadThat’s $96,590.90 for each of the 88,000 people currently under mandatory evacuation orders for the LA fires btw
Holy shit this is just insulting
Imagine having your entire life burnt away and the feds gives you a day and a half worth of funds for lodgings.
Even if you are fortunate enough to have free temporary housing from a family member or someone this is still going to go very quickly.
That’s 70 more than we got in Appalachia. Things are trending in the right direction.
It’s the pragmatic thing to do sweetie.
Landords: “So you’re telling me my tenants can afford another $770 in rent this month? Thanks, I really needed this!”
It’s a house, Michael. How much could it cost? $770?
Sorry you lost all your material possessions, here is not even a months rent
not even a third of a months rent for many
Especially in Pasadena lmfao
Holy shit… My brain automatically corrected it to $770 million until I read the comments… I was thinking it was the sum of all payments, because $770 was so laughably incorrect my brain didn’t even allow it to stand as is.
Here child, have half a week in a hotel or something. Buy yourself a pack of gum while you’re at it, it might help with the hunger.
Same here, I saw the number and my brain inserted 7 more orders of magnitude because what a pittance
$770? Do they really think $600 is anywhere near enough? LA was already had a ridiculous cost of living, how is $450 going to even make a dent?
I guess they’ll expect people to be happy they got a $375, after all Trump would have been worse amIright?
“$2000 checks out the door immediately!” I guess at least the folks in LA are getting closer to receiving the 2k the dems promised 4 years ago, so that’s progress!
“sorry ya lost your home. Go get a shave and a new suit, jack!”
DEMOCRATS SUCK ASSSSSS DUDE
$770 would be a major check if this were like 1932. $770 is nothing in 2025, especially anyone who isn’t a healthy and able-bodied single person. For people with children, perhaps elderly people, or family complications, or any real medical issues this sucks. $770 can barely cover a couple nights an mid-tier Motel.
Biden regime straight up laughing at the have-not Californians with this announcement.
