Your monopoly money buys more eggs than our real money?! Now I've seen everything!

We need lots and lots of lawyers on our side to fight this stuff. Sometimes we will lose in court, but often we won't. A lot of judges actually do believe in the rule of law. Not everything will make it to the Supreme Court and not everything that does make it there will be upheld.

If we don't fight things in court, nothing stops them from taking effect, so that is priority number 1 in terms of funding. We need to pay good lawyers good money or else they'll watch the US crumble with the rest of us.

Rug puller. He got his, now anyone else can fuck off.

Simple as

SLAM

People need to stop glorifying those who ignore evacuation orders and get lucky. For all those you hear about getting lucky there's a bunch that cause issues, get in the way, and take resources away from fighting the fires.

I don't want to share the great lakes with USA. Let's compromise and take the rust belt. There won't be enough of them to cause too much issues. Plus then we can get Chicago and Philly too.

*except not if it's more like a house and if the landlord is renting only a small number of properties (don't remember exact wording)

Oh, honey, oh no

All of the fires are :(

While the palisades fire is showing a lot of very rich folks that their money doesn't make them immune to fire, there are a lot of relatively regular people who were barely hanging on to their homes in a very expensive area who lost everything and could be financially ruined forever.

Don't get me wrong, vanishinlgy few of those in the palisades were poor before the fire. But a lot could be now if they were uninsured or if their insurance fucks them over.

There's a bunch of apartment buildings in the area that burned down too. Families who were protected by rent control lost their apartment and now where do they go?

Sure, but we aren't quite at Cuban missile crisis levels of heat either.
