Live updates: Brush fire burns in Pacific Palisades as Santa Ana winds blast Southern California - Live video at link

Wouldn't it be easier to for insurance companies to just "yeah nah, we just ain't doing business in your state lol"? Most of them are already that tilting in that direction anyway.

Yeah that’s what will happen. Everyone’s house will become worthless, cause you need insurance to get a mortgage.

The state will nationalize the insurance industry to prevent the losses and the madness will continue. With price signals removed, people will die. Furthermore, the catastrophic losses will bankrupt the state of California, leading to them to beg the Feds for a bailout. Taxes will go up etc etc
 
So this is confirmation he was black or an illegal
Fox has footage of him before he was gang tackled...

Oh yeah! Are we talking swales?

If the sodomites in California want Mystery Babylon, they could at least build the Hanging Gardens.
The guy behind Al Baydha is called Neal Spackman, that's a guy to keep an eye and ear out for. He claims that over 30 million hectares of desert across the western coast of Saudi Arabia could be totally transformed with the same application of swales, terraces, water breaks etc.. and even regenerate Arabia's mangrove habitat across the entire coast. He also claims that Saudi Arabia could regain actual river systems from the Wadi's if they don't fuck up his swale designs. I think those Princesses have him on retainer now as part of their actual ennobled household lol. It's just themselves who want to keep pushing for this but they're not the main branch family so they're left alone.
"I make dead places come back to life" - his LinkedIn lol / He also has some new contracting firm he founded to apply his techniques everywhere. https://solve.mit.edu/challenges/resilient-ecosystems/solutions/45942

So I live very near the region that got hit by the hurricane.
I lived through the hurricane. I was without power and running water for more than a week. I was fortunate enough to live in an urban area, but even then it was bad. I can only imagine what the poorer parts of Appalachia are going through.

So this is confirmation he was black or an illegal
If it turns out he's illegal (as I suspect he is), it'll be suppressed. They don't want Trump having more ammo.

My bet is he is illegal, and he'll have been part of a gang. I think the illegal gangbangers deliberately set the fires so they could loot the homes of the rich.
 
I think certain people saw the rent moratoriums from 2020 and thought "we can definitely just force private companies to pay for all of our fuckups" while ignoring all the negative consequences.
Yep. There's a world of difference between forbidding some bugwit from rent-jacking and thus evicting you from your housing during a (government-imposed, to be fair) economic crisis where your earning ability may be totally fucked, just so he can buy a yacht...and rebuilding an entire community in somewhere that burns on the regular.
 
So basically just let the ARSON SUSPECT back out on the streets. But then again that's probably the Cali way for dealing with this type of thing.
They do give niggers 1000 a day "gibs me that" allowance. Which has probably taught niggers more math then school ever will.
 
My personal view on donations to disaster shit are do NOT donate to the fucking Red Cross under any circumstances. This is a scummy scam operation that has all the money it needs and yet relentlessly shill themselves any time a disaster happens anywhere, then they don't spend the donations on the actual disaster but just pocket them and do what they were going to do anyway.

I think the best targets for donations are LOCAL food banks run by LOCALS to the area who have been serving that population for decades. Don't send them food or other bullshit, unless they're specifically asking for that (they won't be), but what they're asking for, which is almost always going to be MONEY.

You can be pretty sure if you're donating to local charities that are run by locals, that the people actually in the disaster area are getting your help, not some asshole in D.C. getting paid an executive salary to do absolutely jack-fucking-shit.

tl;dr FUCK THE RED CROSS NEVER DONATE TO IT.
Honestly I typically donate only locally bc the wider of America doesn’t care about the flooded valley in West Virginia anymore than they cared about the dozens of deaths in Tennessee, but when I do donate it’s supplies only and to someone, an org I can look into or a group that’s known for their grass roots efforts, that can be looked into. Fuck the Red Cross, fuck the government subsidized orgs, and fuck the grifters. I look for the people who were out and about before disaster (and dollars!) struck the area.

Since people are so interested in the Helene victims there’s been a ton of groups helping. The Amish built a ton of “tiny houses” to guard against the cold.. and the govt refused to let people in them and ordered them to stop bc they “weren’t up to code”.. instead of bringing them UP to code, they condemned them for weeks. If anyone wants to help look for local groups. North Carolina community foundation (Site here) is doing good work- unless anyone has more info saying they’re not, there’s also all kinds of grassroots efforts in twitter where they are public about what they take and what they give. People are LIVING out of rvs, tents, and broke down homes and using propane. There’s also Convoy of hope but I’ve not looked into them too much.

TLDR: donate to locals and grassroots efforts, we take care of our own. The area I’m in just got hit by about 6”-8”+ of snow, so a lot of my time and $ is going to buying road salt and helping the elderly and disabled shovel and salt their drives/porches/walk ways. The snow we got was paired with sleet and ice so the snow is heavy as hell. Takes 2-3 hours and about 3lbs of road salt to do the average drive here.
 
One is that education should be self-guided, with ample opportunities for a wide ranging set of skills to be developed, and that core curriculum extends from that. Allow the kid to get an interest in say gardening or weaving or woodworking etc, and learn math, history and science out of that applied interest. English, music and other cultural knowledge is cultivated by the study of the classics that involve play-acting and other forms of active participation rather than just reading and rote memorization of facts. Another thing is that students are encouraged to work things out between themselves on their own with a minimum of adult intervention, and allow their natural inclinations to lead or follow, and organic development of roles in group projects (a big thing there) to form.
This was a big thing in some good public schools in California too when I was growing up and it is definitely the way to go.
Finally, and probably most importantly, technology as substitution for learning manual skills or socialization is discouraged. You won't find computers or the internet in a Waldorf School. You will find a great library and teachers with a wide ranging set of skills for hands-on learning, and say if the student has a strong interest in something no teacher there knows well, like say, bee-keeping, they will facilitate an outside mentorship within the curriculum.
This so much. Computers were a tool, an end to a means, not the end itself it became.
It's really not for every child, particularly those with behavioral issues or learning disabilities, but IMO, it's the ideal sort of education for gifted and talented kids, or ones that don't do well with sitting at a desk all day.
Children who don't do well sitting at a desk all day are classified as learning disabled and their parents coerced into medicating them so even the "learning disabled" would benefit tremendously.
It's expensive as hell, and all the teachers and admin are hippies, but they're pretty based hippies. Even if your kid doesn't go into college after it, they come out with some sort of niche skilled trade or two that's useful as fuck.
It is now, which is a real tragedy. It's a bit derailing, but this is about California's mismanagement so I just wanted to add this is a great post about the subject, and a great example of how good intentioned, successful trends in California start out well, gain traction and then a grifting boomer comes along to co-opt, destroy or make it unaffordable so he/she can make a huge profit.

A moratorium on fire insurance cancellations in wildfire areas in CA.

This is so insane. The high cost of insurance (or, in many cases, outright refusal to sell insurance because the risk is so high) is supposed to act as a information mechanism to force people to stop building in these areas, to move away, etc.

Now that won’t happen. And people will die because of this. This is enabling people to stay in death traps.

The only way we could move the needle on fire safety AND allow people to stay in those homes is if we enact massive political change to reform misguided environmental policies, building codes, etc.

You know what would really light a fire under peoples’ asses to vote for actual reform? $5k/mo fire insurance premiums on a house you couldn’t sell for $300k.

Instead, people will fucking die
I love how California thinks they can just pass laws and make the insurance companies hand over their money. They can fuck right off. The only way State Farm, USAA, Farmers, Etc can hope to paper over enforced coverage of Californians in unmitigated fire zones at capped rates is to shovel the cost of premiums onto the rest of the country. Which ain't happening.

Makes better economic sense to just not do business in California. Let them pass as many laws as they want on companies that are not present within its jurisdiction
 
so a lot of my time and $ is going to buying road salt
DONT. Salt makes the road much worse and absolutely destroys the cars. It will turn the road from just slippery but consistent ice to very very slippery wet ice covered with half molten snow slouch, which makes the road just barely drivable.

The salt goes on private drives. So people can get out and not break a limb.

I hope the insurance companies tell California to fuck off and take this to SCOTUS directly as a violation of the Constitution's Article I, Section 9, Clause 3.
That clause only applies to the federal government. Article I, Section 10, clause 1 specifically deals with the states and ex post facto laws. Even then, according to Calder v. Bull (1798 ), the prohibition on ex post facto laws only applies to criminal law, not civil matters.
Gavin Newsom is criminally responsible for the LA fires and the disastrous response thereof and should immediately be impeached and arrested. There, it's criminal now.
