Aesop you are a local. Who bears the brunt of the responsibility for this disaster? The linked poll shows Newsom at 28% "a great deal responsible" and 20% "somewhat responsible". Bass is at 22% for "a great deal responsible" and 25% for "somewhat responsible". https://www.westernjournal.com/california-finished-50-percent-californians-dont-blame-bass-fires/
People Who Built Stupid Houses In Stupid Places, On Hillsides And Up Canyons That Frequently (2 years out of any 5) Catch On Fire, Without Doing Fire-Resistant Architecture, Window Film, Roofing, Or Clearing Brush Away: 25% responsible
Karen Basshole & L.A. City & County For Cuts In Fire Budgets, Draining Nearest Reservoir Bone Dry, Not Maintaining Water Supply System, and Mollycoddling Homeless Meth-heads Instead of Arresting Them For Drug Use, Arson, and Vagrancy: 25% responsible
Gabbin' Nuisance And State Minions Of Mischief et al, For Califrutopia Letting Billions Of Gallons Of Rainwater And Snowmelt Run Off Into The Ocean Because They Haven't Built One Reservoir In The State In 60+ Years, And Would Rather Cater To A Baitfish Than Taxpayers: 25% responsible
FedGov: For Not Maintaining Firebreak Access Roads, Not Doing Controlled Burns, Not Clearing Deadfall and Underbrush In The 47% Of California That's Federal Land, And Letting 10-15M Illegal Aliens Move In Here: 25%.
Net Loss to CA From This Series Of Fires: 0. Moar, please.
If the idiots who vote this b.s. into office get burned out, and cannot rebuild, the three levels of elected idiots they fund and elect go away too, and things reset to normalcy within a generation.
Hence my call for tankers to drop napalm and aviation gasoline on the fires. I wasn't kidding.
If all of CA west of Interstate 101 from OR to L.A. County and then west of I-5 from L.A. to where it becomes I-405, and thence to Mexico, managed to burn to the ground tomorrow, the state would be redder than Texas within 6 months (probably more like 6 hours), and fiscally solvent by the end of this year.
The weeping and wailing, and the ensuing exodus of Not Californian Democommunist shitheads and their pet illegal aliens, would be music to my ears.
Equivalent damage would be for the San Andreas to hit a 9.5 which would pretty well wipe out the same territory. For comparison the 1906 San Francisco quake was 7.9 and the 1964 Alaska quake was 9.2. Bring it on!
Amen and amen. I can't wait to hear the wailing as JLO or some such imbecile says (on camera, of course!);"But these rules shouldn't apply to ME!" We could only wish for Silicon Valley and SF to experience a clearing. Remember it's Biblical.
Reviewing the provided pic. I notice a full pool of water just standing there. Not saying anything other than a single pumper truck could have save the associated house -- maybe.
Not being a local your slices of the failure will probably become rather accurate. As it is I see all the Pols are ducking for cover and pointing at each other like a Mexican standoff.
Tis often difficult to see the fire thru the trees.
I understand once the state fire ins goes broke, homeowner insurance companies pay 50% of costs up a billion, then 100%. CA state law the allows them to pass these costs onto all the other homeowner policies not affected.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

And then the idiots would bring their contagion to the rest of the western red States. Thanks.
