I have an answer for that question. This country is being run by one of the most incompetent businessmen that particular field has ever produced, kept going only by an inherited fortune he kept using to leverage debt, sweet talking money out of people who definitely should have known better.
As businessmen, they see profit/loss and nothing else. Supporting the people in this country through a disaster is a loss on their ledger sheets. Money to big corporations to make up for lost sales is money better spent, in their narrow vision.
In addition to the businessman's myopia, his staff has another characteristic, sheer ignorance of everything they have been tasked with managing. They have been chosen for their ability to flatter Dumpster Fire adequately, not for their ability to do any of the jobs they're "acting" at doing.
Because of Putin's interference ad Comey's treachery, this asshole was installed against the will of the people, who knew better by a nearly 3 million vote margin.
That's why.
