Insurance companies have left California in droves and it has become prohibitively expensive for most people to purchase fire insurance for homes except for gov subsidized programs. “California Fair plan” which is still very expensive and offers poor coverage. So the entire fire insurance industry in California is essentially a state Gov program like Obama care for fire insurance where the state mandates that the companies have to insure everyone at “fair rates” regardless of the specifics of risk and if the person has done the work to make their home lower risk.

It’s a combination of restrictive insurance regs and insane environmental regs.

The insurance and fire industry are essentially painted into a corner. The only solutions that get any traction are more taxes and redistributive policies.

We need to tell better stories.

Ridiculous, free the children from chemical restraint. Let them be human.

These are the types of solutions we need. My crews produce a large amount of wood chips on fuels reduction jobs that we have a hard time getting rid of.

Our local high school has received funding for a biomass gasification facility that will produce electricity. Connecting Bitcoin mining hardware to these systems will completely change the incentives.

That is the hope. It’s become such a huge mess over the years. If the State and feds can get out of the way then our local communities can experiment with various programs to find out what works. Right now we’re between a rock and a hard place. Most people default to demanding more regulation. Glad the message is getting out there through folks like nostr:npub13ql75nq8rldygpkjke47y893akh5tglqtqzs6cspancaxktthsusvfqcg7

True, sounds like a good plan.

Maybe we should all buy at least some of it and give it back to Ross.

I’ve been a professional firefighter in California for 20 years. Currently I oversee a vegetation management program to reduce fire risk to communities.

We have money, resources and are ready to work. The Environmental regulations however take years to navigate and comply with and consume a large portion of the funds available for this work. California’s entire fire problem is a direct result of foolish policies.

It goes back to the USFS suppressing naturally occurring fire for over100 years resulting in excessive fuels in our wild lands.

Now the State of California is tying the hands of local communities in repairing the damage through nonsensical environmental regulations that prioritize red legged frogs or “spotted owl habitat” that hasn’t seen a spotted owl since the 80’s over human lives and property.

The government will blame everything and everyone except their own policies which are the real culprit.

The incentives are so screwed up that no one is really interested in actually fixing the issue because everyone is grifting off the system. Fires are big money for both Private contractors and government employees as is environmental compliance consulting.

There, I feel better now. Had to get that out.

Every post advocating “Zaps Only” gets an immediacy like from me😏

Very true. Without constraints there can be no form.

NOSTR and Bitcoin may end the Nation State. Buckle up.

NOSTR and Bitcoin might end the Nation State.

Exactly, NOSTR sheds bullshit and retains multiple copies interesting or important info. The ramifications will be unexpected.

Great tagline. Let’s send this over to the NOSTR marketing team.

As expected, India leading the charge for financial repression tools. CBDC’s are the most evil and tyrannical financial repression tools ever devised. Nothing more than open air prison commissary money.

Freedom is meaningless without economic freedom.

It would appear this is a person who puts political aspirations and fundraising efforts ahead of everything else.

Oops, I mean Npub. nostr:npub1d6qssrfucjvmkld9c9xcla7texqeguzcluzvu27kfg2zuq2nvr7sxp72ah please don’t post your nsec anywhere.😬

Insomnia wrecking me lately.
