Many articles about the fires have focused on the political aspects (Bass is done, Newsome’s career on life support, etc). This article is different, as it focuses on the practical, day to day issues facing the victims of the fire. While all fires have victims, the number is usually so small as to render the impact on the victims a lesser focus for the country. This fire (actually fires) has such a vast scale that the number of victims has yet to be quantified and it grows every day.

With any luck, the upshot of this catastrophe will include outcomes such as the defenestration of the California Coastal Commission and all other such bodies which seem to make it their mission to torment normal citizens as they attempt to live their lives.

Seems that those charged with being prepared for catastrophes are currently spending the bulk of their energy casting blame on anyone but themselves rather than focusing on the problems facing their constituents and coming up with solutions. California voters should be voting red as if their lives depend on it, as that may well be the case.

California voter will blame Trump.

It doesn't matter that he's not in office yet.

You are correct! This is simply another sign that being a leftist is an indication of underlying mental illness.

I wonder? Personal dislocation has been responsible for mental and spiritual changes many times in the past. The Left around LA have had a cushy time for generations, but now? Someone is going to pay and nebulous charges of climate change may not be received well by homeless people.

BTW, Fox showed a picture of the guy they caught with the blow torch. He is an illegal.

They're already doing that. I believe they're blaming his first term for it.

If you’re voting for anything in California, it should be to secede to regain control of your own lives.
