This guy just said that people losing coverage was a good thing.

Forget a Mario popping up from this as a result, we're going to see a whole Mario Party come out to play "make the exec dodge the handgun" for a star.

California will not be as wealthy in near future, thanks to the high taxes and prices, crime ridden places and bureaucracy. Business will find it easier to work in other states.
Unless they change their retarded politicians, but I heard California is somehow fortified against republican vote.

I feel both sad for the innocent people and Californian kiwis affected by this, and slightly excited to see the elites getting affected by their incompetence and cronyism. Also I hope the critters don't get extinct in this bushfire. Imagine being so retarded to use the water for some fish but not for saving a lot more animals from fire.

Also as many have already mentioned these home values are based on the land not the structure. Many of those multi-million dollar plots aren't worth anything if no one will insure them in the future. Those lucky enough to have fire coverage are only going to be reimbursed the value of the structure and that's probably not enough to magically uproot and fully relocate and even then they're still going to be on the hook for any outstanding mortgage that was based on the previous value.

I predict many thousands of bankruptcies even with insurance.

Some of y'all are making an awful lot of assumptions about how individual Californians view natural disasters in other states.

Like you want Californians to be assholes so you can feel justified in your own assholery.

And you're up here telling everyone How Shit Be in California whereas if someone was like "It's a river and you shouldn't live near it" in response to the disaster in NC, y'all's response would be anger at people who ain't from around there telling the people there how to manage their shit like the people there are too stupid to know better.

Can't we just agree that LA sucks ass without inventing stories for why it deserves to go up in flames?

It's established fact the reason this fire is raging out of control the way it is has everything to do with the fact the fire hydrants are bone dry every time the fire department tries to use one because of California's stupid water policies. There were so many things that the state of California could've done to prevent this massive fire storm from happening but they refused every step that would've prevented it. If I didn't know better, I'd be calling this some sort of government level land grab scheme.

Watching LA's mayor suffer a mental BSOD when she got confronted by reporters for going to Africa and axing 18 million from the Fire Department budget and asking how she responds to that or calls by her own constituents to step down are the kind of thing that adds a bit of levity to this miserable affair.

Jesus Christ what a fucking bitch. I don't know how the people there didn't get physical.

Good point- L.A. was already declining, and maybe if (God forbid) the fire gets bad enough that large parts of the city proper are destroyed, it could be the last straw for people and businesses to leave.

Combination of cities outnumbering suburbs/rural areas, large illegal population that is allowed to have driver's licenses and use public services but totally doesn't vote (wink wink) and Republican apathy.

The animals will be fine, they have lived there far longer than people and most are capable of running/flying away.

While he could've phrased it better he did immediately follow up by saying that State Farm has been having money issues which would effect potential insurance payouts.

One must wonder if LA will loosen up on their construction codes and permit process to speed up the rebuilding process.
Click to expand...
It's very likely... no.
And they'll probably make all the rebuilds meet current standards with no grandfathering. Which means a whole host of new stupidity since those homes were built.

Unironically PERMACVLTRE would have solved this. I keep referencing this but some Saudi princesses honeypotted a White hydrology engineer to reshape the Al-Baydha valleys in western Saudi Arabia to recreate a savannah biome where mountain rains flood hill valleys. https://preservetube.com/watch?v=T39QHprz-x8

Oh yeah! Are we talking swales?

If the sodomites in California want Mystery Babylon, they could at least build the Hanging Gardens.

To be fair, he just said it was luck, he didn't say it was good luck.

They can put one of those NSA data centers where the schlubs used to live in Schlub Canyon, and house h1bs to service it in palisades. Then the only people around to vote will be the government and the homeless people they cultivate

He said that State Farm is so insolvent they wouldn't have been able to pay out the claims, and that people had switched to insurers expected to be able to pay out claims. Whether that happens or not, he wasn't saying "haha lol guess you have no coverage."
