Thank you very much for reading! And our partners at Carolina Public Press dug into the Helene relief bill provision that benefitted the company: carolinapublicpress.org/73527/defens...
Defense contractor got special treatment in NC. But local legislators say they don't know who did it.
Measure let companies affected by Helene skip local incentives, bypassing public comment. Pratt & Whitney the only company to take the deal.

All of this is entwined. Our representatives won't change anything because if they had the moral fiber to do so, they would have taken any action against Israel's genocide. They didn't. Congressional Dems are not equipped to navigate this current moment.

We can fight this multi-front fight against ICE, against the military-industrial complex, against the genocide in Palestine. We can move from “it’s too big to do anything about it” to “it has to be done”, and we can do it today, we can do it now.

The war abroad always comes home to be the war against our neighbors. Our fights are linked against the military industrial complex, against oppression, against billionaires. We don’t have to accept this as the way things are, we can do something about it.

While Pratt and Whitney’s Asheville General Manager literally says: the Buncombe Plant allows them to build engines for machines of war. Our tax dollars are funding this. Our Helene recovery funds are funding this. We do not have to stay silent, we can hold our elected officials accountable.

And a new round of grants was given to RTX after Helene. Money that could have been spent on our neighbors, but instead was spent funding tools for terror here and abroad, money spent on funding the great wealth transfer from public funds to billionaires.

190 Million Dollars. $50 million dollars in highway funds that could make our roads safer. Almost $50 million dollars in sales tax exemptions. That money could have been spent on our community, instead of putting money into the pockets of billionaires and funding war in and out of our community.
