Wild Fires In LA

[Sadie]

I understand. The problem traces back to the hubris of Biden - if he had not run as he initially promised to, the Democrats could have held a primary with perhaps a different outcome.

I don't think he thought Trump would run again. And when he did, he thought I beat him once, I can do it again. But IDK, no one knows what goes in inside someone else's head. And the Ds didn't really have anyone else teed up to run.

The whole thing was dysfunctional.

Do you feel the same about music programs?

Choir, orchestra, dance, etc are all artistic endeavors that hardly anybody will benefit from in the long run. So, yes.

The spectacle of an arrogant Newsom taking a bended knee before Trumpitus is something I have been waiting for, the truly inadequate beaurcrat meets the superlative executive. May he be recalled as quickly as possible.

Who are your favored ones to replace Newsom when it comes to a recall election?

Utterly unknown at this time. Trump is amassing a vast war chest, a large chunk of which no doubt will be directed toward Newsom's retirement. I am certain plans are in the works, but I don't know what they are. I suspect someone with a successful business career background, but beyond that, I have no clue.

The war chest is no matter, Newsom's withering away is a given after the LA fires. Like you have said but aren't refer to now, its an organic live situation in LA that has resulted in major rental demand and purchase demand in my area. No way Newsom can recover from his deeds and misdeeds. Californians don't need Trump to do anything but watch what happens in CA.

The real estate market is on fire in more ways than one, you say? Can you imagine the volume of people trying to find a new place to crash? Think of the outlying motel/hotel operators and the restaurants, the real estate agents and the title companies. Unbelievable clusterF of everybody trying to do the same thing simultaneously.

 

[George Hatch]

I doubt a recall on Newsome will be successful. I think the (conservative) media is grossly overstating the story about voter satisfaction. Most people are going to return to their normal state of mind on the subject over the next couple months. I also doubt the reservoir and water allocation situation in Calif is going to change by any factor other than rainfall.

 

[J Grant]

People are usually furious at the local or state-level leader after a disaster, and everybody is points blame.

But people never want to look at THEMSELVES. Such as, why they choose to live in a precarious area. Why did they choose not to pay for home insurance but paid for a vacation? Why did they remodel a kitchen instead of getting impact windows? And so on. Do you need a 3000 sf house for two people? How about rebuilding a 1200 sf house?

I don't have a stake in the area, though. I have a relative in LA and a friend in Santa Monica. A disaster can impact lives on so many levels.

Idk who will stay or who will leave. Like New Orleans after Katrina, eventually, the city was rebuilt.

I wish the climate deniers would refrain from their tired family post for a moment here. Most scientists and climatologists and nations around the world and NASA recognize climate change is a threat - We have heard it all before; there have always been storms and fires and so on. Go stay in denial and leave everyone else to get on with it. The last few years of extreme other and eroding habitat and intense storms and melting ice, should be a clue.

And maybe every single person, every one of us, is to blame for it on some level, fun as it is to beat up on whoever is in office - even if a leader shares some of the blame. Being that climate change is occurring, maybe the future rebuild of an area should not look like past rebuilds of areas.

Ironically, a mere century ago, many lived a low carbon footprint, self-sustaining lifestyle. Maybe more need to return to that - a thought
