I'm sure more mediocre white men running around with hoses would have stopped the fires and not NOT DESTROYING THE DAMN CLIMATE CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Hey Frank, I'm noticing a distinct lack of a burger suit still.

I also noticed you misunderstanding the assignment, which wouldn't be a problem if you were actually paying attention.

Climate issues, like the ones you were sperging about yesterday, are usually handled by the government, IE: The state.

Firefighters just try to stop fires, and from what's been reported in here, the LAFD has actually been very successful despite getting fucked up the ass consistently by a she-faggot's strapon. They have been since the 90s. Your misguided and ill informed chatter is also a disservice to discredit the women on the force to help behind the scenes in positions they can and do help in.

If you'd read the thread, you'd know that the focus on DEI is a minor issue in comparison to the rest of the contributors to the disaster.

Contributors such as: The massive budget cuts to the LAFD ordered by higher-ups. Higher-ups like the fine mayor of LA and a white man you should be bitching about, Gavin Newsom. IE: The state.

Illegal immigrants who wanted to roast marshmallows with a blowtorch in the middle of Winter to really embrace the American spirit.

The gross mishandling of resources like water.

The gross mishandling of environmental issues you seem to care so much about. (Y'know, the flammable, dead, and FUCKING EXPLOSIVE eucalyptus trees?)

The supplies sent to the Ukraine is also an issue.

Spoilers, it wasn't white male firefighters who give the okay on these things and let them happen.

Out of all the highlighted criticisms and information that's been presented, I'd argue that focusing on the complaints about the DEI factor is, to be brutally honest, very retarded, Frank.

It's a bit late, but I got you something for the holidays. Merry Christmas, champ. You should've made your New Years resolution 'I'll pay attention to what's in front of my eyes more.' Better luck next time. Read relevant highlights! It might help!

Don't worry, the patty is soy, because killing cows goes against your ethos as an apparent environmental warrior.

I didn't read every page, so might be late, but it was probably arson by a "prankster" and his retarded friends.

I am forever blown away by how deaf and/or contextually autistic people are when it comes to stuff like this. He does not say "That shit is going great," he says "That shit is going quick."

This 100% reads as loosely scripted/staged for social media clout. Cold open conveniently dumping exposition, laughing and running while explaining in clear english that you are so scared right now bro. Happening to be right where such a small fire is in the middle of the wilderness with no tree cover where you would have seen the smoke from miles unless it just SOMEHOW started right where you were standing. The antithesis of show don't tell. Very bad premise, very bad acting. I don't fuck with social media so maybe I'm wrong and this is just how zoomers talk now, but even just based on the circumstance and the long distance footage I'm suspicious. Very plausible that these faggots lit a fire to try to make some gay viral "we ALMOST DIED in a WILDFIRE" video.

It would be absolute fucking pottery if half of LA burned down because of clout chasing wannabe e-celebs badly staging a viral video because they're chasing the same faustian dream LA has been selling for a century.

Huge if true.

You do seem like the guy to counter-signal and ruin the VIBE tbqh fam. I just hope all the White firefighters get some actual over-time pay out of this and can leave their parasitic ruling class holding the bag.

Landlords ripping off LA fire victims, says Selling Sunset star​

Landlords have been illegally raising prices due to the Los Angeles wildfires, says Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim.

The LA property mogul, who owns the luxury real estate brokerage at the centre of the Netflix reality show, said one client had been asked for thousands over the original asking price to rent a home - despite California's anti "price gouging" laws.

It comes as LA officials warned anyone caught "taking advantage" of the disaster by scamming or burgling wildfire victims would be prosecuted.

Thousands of people have lost homes in LA and displaced victims say they are facing sky-high rental prices and hotel fees.

Oppenheim said his business, known for selling LA's most expensive and glamorous homes, was offering its services for free and had received dozens of calls from people who had lost homes.

Speaking on BBC One's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, he described sending a client to visit a property where the landlord had previously been asking for $13,000 per month in rent.

"[My client] offered $20,000 a month and he offered to pay six months upfront and the landlord said 'I want $23,000'," he said.

"There are price gouging laws in California, they're just being ignored right now, and this isn't the time to be taking advantage of situations."

The 47-year-old added that the disaster had been "emotional for everyone".

He said: "Everyone has tears in their eyes all day long, literally from the smoke but also just because it's emotional to see people struggling like this."

California authorities have warned businesses against illegally hiking the price of items more than 10% above their pre-disaster cost.

On Saturday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta also said he had seen landlords raising prices illegally.

"You cannot do it. It is a crime punishable by up to a year in jail and fines," he said.

"This is California law [and] it's in place to protect those suffering from a tragedy."

Retiree Brian, who wanted to be identified by only his first name, had lived in a rent-controlled apartment in the Pacific Palisades for two decades and lost his home in the fires.

The 69-year-old is afraid his pension will not allow him to find a new home in a city where rents have doubled over the last decade.

According to property listings site Zillow, the median rent for properties in LA is $2,800 (£2,295).

"I'm back on the market with tens of thousands of people," Brian told AFP.

"That doesn't bode well."

'A lot of scams'​

Price gouging is just one example of the criminality that has emerged amid the disaster, which has killed at least 16 people.

LA County Sheriff Robert Luna warned those thinking of committing burglary or "white collar crime or a scam" that police and prosecutors were watching.

Meanwhile LA police chief Jim McDonnell said "people will go to all ends to be able to do what it is they want to do to exploit the victims of this tragedy".

Mr McDonnell said there "are a lot of scams" and warned those who want to help to donate "with caution".

He encouraged people to conduct careful research to find reputable organisations, recommending using resources such as Charity Navigator or the Better Business Bureau, and urged residents to report fraud.

"Together we can prevent further harm and protect the generosity of our community," he said.

Meanwhile Mr Luna, the county sheriff, said there had so far been approximately 29 arrests amid the fires, including a man posing as a firefighter to burgle a home.

He said police were "eager to prosecute" anyone who had "taken advantage of our residents during this very difficult time" and specifically warned against "white collar" scams.

On Saturday, police in LA said the number of arrests for looting was "continuously growing".

Yet despite the malfeasance of some, LA mayor Karen Bass said more than 13,000 people have donated over $6m (£4.9m) to California's Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund since the fires began on Tuesday.

Redditors saw like one zillow listing that went up from $5K a month to $27K and assume all landlords are price gouging now. I'm not saying some might be, but high LA home prices and rents are just a direct result of California making it impossible to build anywhere. Not to mention extremely tenant friendly laws so actually evicting someone is a time consuming and expensive process.

Prices will go up and new housing entering the market is going to be a lot more expensive since I'm pretty sure the law they have only applies to listings that were up before the fire.
