I’m referring to the palisades mall / shopping area that he built

The Palisades / LA fires wouldn’t have been nearly as destructive had Rick Caruso won the mayoral election.
Case in point: The mall that Caruso built and operates is fine, as he had the foresight to use fire retardant on that part of town. The rest of the town? Almost entirely destroyed, with no leadership in sight.
The current mayor of LA is on a trip to Ghana as the city burns. 
Yes. Didn’t stop the fires from burning all the way to the shore, tho
“When you feel that the outcome of this particular feature in the game is urgent. See, this matters. And do you see that that's what we mean by matter? The word matter, meaning something substantial, something material, also means important. It matters. And it's up to you what you think matters.”

My heart goes out to all those affected by the Palisades fire. Looks like Mordor out there. Tragic.

Even in the alternate universe where Bitcoin doesn’t win, I have a hard time believing the EU would be more competent than the US in the fallout.

Evergreen explanation. #Bitcoin 
I enjoyed it, though I agree it gets a bit slow at times.
Agreed. The laws of Man must align with the laws of God to be just.
America is going back to its roots, restoring freedom of speech, adopting sound money via Bitcoin, and shaking off the shackles of wokeism.
The Mandibles is an excellent book, but one part it got dead wrong is predicting the US would be less competent than the rest of the world, drifting into obsolescence by clinging to the dollar while everybody else moves on to the bancor system.
What we are seeing in reality is the opposite. America is dirty, but it’s the cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry. 
“I remember a story about a conversation at a dinner party, where it was in England, and all the people were discussing what they thought was going to happen after death, whether they would simply be extinguished, or whether they'd be reincarnated, or whatever kind of thing. And present at the dinner, there was a very respectable country squire, who was on the vestry of the local church, very pious. And finally, the hostess said to him, ‘Sir Roger, you haven’t said anything in the conversation this evening. What do you think is going to happen to you when you die?’ He said, ‘I'm perfectly sure that I shall go to heaven and enjoy everlasting bliss, but I wish you wouldn't raise such a depressing subject.”

What I love about sci-fi/fantasy novels is their tendency is to keep asking ‘What next?/What came before?’ until you’ve witnessed the entire creation, destruction, and rebirth of a cosmos. 
The great thing about British Common Law is that it is common sense.
Most people are fine with obeying the law so long as it is right and just.
Problems arise when laws and law enforcement are unjust, as we are seeing today in the modern UK. 
#Bitcoin is the way out. 
True. This works well in the digital world. But does it work in meatspace?
