A bailout that will come from tax payers because of yet another extension of state sponsored irresponsibility

The difference in response between these fires and how western NC was left high and dry will be interesting to follow 🧐

Hard to disagree

Atlas Shrugged

They are gonna have to have some kind of excuse to print till their eyes bleed. War, Pandemic, “Natural” Disasters…

I’m really hoping to get an in depth look into the preceding moves of insurance companies in CA. Heard a lot of talk of companies simply pulling out of the state or raising rates to wild levels abruptly, forcing people to shop around and choose likely inferior coverage

As a native, now ex-Californian I think the only possible plan to the governance/financial problems there is 1. No more bailouts, 2. State bankruptcy and debt reorganization, 3. Socialist pols voted out of office, 4. Drastic spending cuts, 5. Years of painful recovery.

All comes back to the money, plus the mis-allocation & misaligned incentives it engenders.

Prayers for all those affected.

Fiatoshi’s Big Red Button… ya just know they’re gonna push it

In addition to the state of CA getting a bailout, the insurance companies cannot possibly cover this. 2008 all over again.

Doesn’t the state or California provide millions in aid to a particular county in the Middle East?

Couldn’t clean the forest floors cause you might step on a endangered little gecko or displace a family of mice. 🤡 🌎

blaming this on big government or central planning is a cop out

this is demonic elites that no longer care about slow-walking their evil

the truth is that evil beings have decided it's time the gloves come off, their conquer of the west coast is complete, and now they can burn down entire cities of generational wealth in order to build new apartments for their imported third world slaves

Meanwhile in Japan, they are spending Billions constructing massive underground caverns to store excess stormwater.

This is more the consequences of western individualism than anything.

Marty, lucid take. Thank you.

I’m working on getting Habitat for Humanity Los Angeles onboarded here on Nostr and accepting Bitcoin donations. They don’t give blind handouts and have a long time horizon with their mission. Any help boosting this effort is appreciated.

Yet somehow, MSM and Democratic talking heads will convince the lemmings that Trump is responsible for all the above.

Whenever I tell my wife the latest news, she says "but nobody else is hearing that". I get my information from nostr and X but other gen X and boomers are still going to watch their news on the likes of MSNBC and FOX. Or listen to their favorite athletes and actors/actresses.

Even if DOGE started holding weekly Spaces (sorry guys, nostr isn't mainstream enough) that somehow draws attention to ...

- lies in job numbers (and other economic data),

- lies in climate catastrophizing and resultant green deals,

- sabotages that Biden/Yellen have done,

- adverse impacts of the Fed over decades,

- pending prosecutions for Fauci & Co, J6 committee, Biden crime family, money laundering through Ukraine, compromised 3-letter agencies, etc (By the way, even if all these pardons stand, I'd like to see them "prosecuted in the court of public opinion" with hard facts to set an accurate baseline on why we "are where we are")

...people will be conditioned to blame Trump and his administration - which is one of the first administrations I've seen in my lifetime - that has a SLIM chance of recovering America without financial collapse, WWIII, or civil war.

Yep

totally. this is possibly the incentive towards 130k BTC.

We see if its this or 7 days until inauguration

or something else

Maybe now at least some of the Democrats will feel the weight of their own choices.

My god yes, yes, yes 👏
