Global Warming is getting to the point where the US government will probably need to step in as insurers start going under. This is pretty fucking scary considering it’s Trump and he’s likely going to fuck over California home owners out of spite.
I hope those affected by the fire carefully consider global warming when choosing where and how to rebuild.
CA keeps all the small, controllable forest fires from happening, ensuring flammable material builds up in our forests. Then we get a mega fire that cannot be stopped which tears through everything. CA’s forest management policies have been fucked for decades.-

With tariffs and deporting labor, I’m not sure if many will be able to afford rebuilding.
Nope, just let every single insurance company go under.
No bailouts, no assistance, just kill the entire insurance industry please.
Home insurers aren’t going under. They are simply going to leave California.
Isn’t that what they did Florida? At this pace, they’ll run out of states to leave soon enough…
With nothing to replace it, you’re just advocating for fucking over everyone.

There’s no such thing as a small controlled fire alongside a hill that homes have been built into.
There’s no way back from this other than not rebuilding those areas so they can be maintained.
Additionally, with winds up to 100mph and humidity below 20%, you can barely keep homes from burning, much less any sort of vegetation.
But don’t worry, we’ll all be slinging the same mud again next season when hurricanes wipe out some coastal populations.
Yup. 10 years ago controlled burns would have helped.
Now it’s too late.
More like 50+ years before they were built up.
