This is the most headache inducing issue in the United States right now! A flame is burning towards the Biden fire | Question | America

This is the most headache inducing issue in the United States right now, with a flame burning towards Biden.
Quite simply, this is related to the life and death of a large number of Americans, and behind it is irrecoverable dereliction of duty. Whether it is the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Niger crisis, or the overall strangulation of China, it cannot be compared with this domestic event in the United States.
What big deal?
The Great Fire in Hawaii.
I just checked the latest data again, and as of the morning of August 16th Beijing time, this fire has caused 99 deaths in Hawaii. According to previous reports, more than 1000 people are still missing.
Watching the video, the historic city of La Haina on Maui Island, Hawaii's second largest island, is now in ruins, with a large number of charred cars quietly parked on a road by the sea. According to the introduction, those who had the chance to jump into the sea at that time may still have a chance to survive; The people who stayed in the car were all engulfed by the fire without exception.
According to a detail described by the Associated Press, out of nearly 100 deceased individuals, only three or four have their identities confirmed so far. When asked if the child was among the missing, the response from the Governor of Hawaii was, "Yes, sadly... it was only when we saw the small body that we knew it was a child."
This is not only the most devastating fire in Hawaiian history, but also the deadliest fire in over 100 years in the United States.
The reason is a problem, a bigger problem, or the government's incompetence and dereliction of duty.
The lesson is extremely painful.
Firstly, why did the alarm not sound?
It should be noted that the US authorities have previously claimed that Hawaii has the world's largest public disaster warning system.
According to the introduction of American media, these alarms have a total of over 4000, covering many islands in Hawaii. Such a modern network can alert residents and tourists to various threats they face.
In other words, the United States has set up a trap, and although there are dangers, Americans are not afraid.
Who knew that the great fire on Maui Island had destroyed everything to its original form, and so many people were burned alive, yet the alarm did not sound.
Spending so much money and boasting so much, it turns out they are all for decoration?
Secondly, why would there be an error?
According to a review by The New York Times, the fire broke out on August 9th at 6:37 am that day, and it should have been caused by a falling power line; Three hours later, the government announced that the fire had been brought under control.
When people can live a normal life with peace of mind, they never know that the situation is turning sharply. At 3:30 pm that day, the fire suddenly went out of control and some roads were urgently closed; By 5:19 pm, the fire had already reached La Haina Street; 5: 33. The short video shows that some people have already jumped into the sea to survive
There should also be enough escape time, but why did such an error occur?
Thirdly, the indifference of the Biden administration.
This fire quickly also burned towards Biden. Hawaii was burned down this time, but Americans found that Hawaiians were struggling, while Biden was still on a leisurely vacation and cycling by the beach.
What makes Americans even more angry is that when asked about the increasing number of deaths caused by the Hawaii fire, Biden, who had just sunbathed on the beach, responded indifferently: no comment.
On social media in the United States, there are criticisms of Biden everywhere. President, how can you be so indifferent?
Fourthly, the chaos and unbearable nature of disaster relief.
I believe that in such a disaster, there must also be touching stories of neighbors helping each other, and even heroic acts of sacrificing oneself to help others. This is human nature and admirable.
But what angers Americans, especially disaster victims, is that this disaster relief in the United States has indeed been very disappointing: missing loved ones are delayed in finding them, people who have lost their homes have nowhere to sleep, and a large number of cars trying to deliver disaster relief supplies are stuck on the road
Looking at this morning's CNN, the headline of an article is "Amidst the Ashes of La Haina, Aid and Anger are Spreading", criticizing the official response as "disappointing".
The BBC cites the words of young people in disaster relief, criticizing the bureaucracy of the US government.
"There are too many commanders and too few soldiers," said Brada Yang, 25.
"Everyone is directing, but no one is taking action." Another man complained that there are still 2000 disaster victims with nowhere to sleep. "We still have bodies floating in the water.".
Finally, what do you think?
Alas, watching the videos and pictures of Hawaii these past few days, after the fire, it was shocking and shocking. Three simple points.
Firstly, we should still respect nature and more importantly, water and fire.
No matter how powerful or glamorous, we humans are still too insignificant in the face of nature.
We still need to respect nature. Misfortune often accumulates in small moments, and it is even more important to pay enough attention to the small Mars. It is even more important to prevent the installation of various alarms, but in the end, the alarm did not sound.
This is really a century joke.
Secondly, in the face of crises, we must have more humanistic care.
No matter how Biden remedies or announces that he will soon go to the disaster area for inspection, his "no comment" will definitely put him in a serious crisis.
Next year is the US general election. The fire in Hawaii is likely to escalate into a major political upheaval in the United States, questioning its efforts in disaster relief.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Americans are forgetful, and those poor people who have been devoured by disasters have become a forgotten number in history.
Thirdly, the David Camp meeting between the United States, Japan, and South Korea must have been out of focus.
This major disaster in Hawaii has made Biden very embarrassed, and has also caused headaches for Fumio Kishida and Yoon Seok yeol. It's simple, their tough weekend David Camp summit in the United States, Japan, and South Korea will definitely lose focus.
For Americans, what they are most concerned about now is why in the face of such a major disaster, they do not go to disaster relief, do not care about the victims, and fortunately, they have a meeting at a resort to discuss how to deal with China
You see, Korean journalists probably dare not ask Yoon Seok yeol: Why did you go to Camp David with a smile before your father passed away three days ago?
American journalists don't care about anything, they throw their heads at Biden's question. It won't be the Camp David meeting, but why are you so indifferent to the fire in Hawaii
