Biden in Hawaii

To the Editor:

I was somewhat taken back by Joe Biden’s lack of empathy towards the survivors of the wildfires in Hawaii. Somehow offering a paltry sum of $700 reminded me of Marie Antoinette’s phrase of “let them eat cake.”

Even Biden’s old boss, Barack Obama, said the survivors needed more than our hopes and prayers. An extremely low ball sum of $700 compared to what was given out to 9/11 or Katrina victims is nothing more of the same as they just went through. One survivor was even caught saying he didn’t want Biden to even come to the island. Somehow, I can’t really blame him for saying that.
