    Bad thing about putting disaster response to the state is that they can decide not to serve a city based on political leanings. Not that this couldn’t be done at the national level, but harder at least. Gov. Abbot did this during Hurricane Harvey to Houston with state funds. Houston had been one of the biggest bastions of democratic voters during the recent elections so they rewrote their state disaster relief funds stipulations to severely underfund areas with high population density.










  • It’s only a matter of time. They don’t display any ads on nsfw subreddits currently, so management likely sees these subreddits as nothing but a cost, especially because they tend to be heavily image/gif based. what they are unsure about, which is why they haven’t been purged yet, is likely how much traffic to non-nsfw subreddits nsfw subreddits drive. I think we are likely to see purges of them when/if ad money dips or plateaus and they turn their eye to minimizing operating costs.
