        My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won’t be the last.

          Do you believe in karma?

          Edit: LOL I meant to say “reincarnation” as a joke for the “once in a lifetime event” as in they’ve had several lifetimes already and they just don’t remember it happening.

            I’m not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.

            I don’t believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.

            Good karma? Sure whatever.

            Bad karma? Hell fucking no. We cannot take a single chance these shitters will get away with their fucking around without finding out.

        At the risk of being too morbid, it definitely is once in a lifetime, for the people who died from the fire.

    But that carbon tax would have made a few mega wealthy people ever so slightly less mega wealthy.

      Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

    You know what sucks is my insurance is going to go up, again, because I have to subsidize these assholes building mansions along the coastal mountain sides. It happened when Malibu burned down, and it’ll happen again, and they will continue to sell property instead of returning it back to nature.

    If I have to put up with my concrete jungle South LA place, I don’t want to be lumped in with people with a thousand times more greenery than I get. Yet that’s exactly what insurance companies are going to do. That or outright stop dealing in California as some have done.

      I’m sure my insurance in the Midwest will go up to subsidize things, too. Never mind that we never have widespread disasters like this.

    They were saying on the news last night $10 billion, this article is saying $20 billion, MSNBC just quoted $50+ billion. 😮
