You do realize that the shots don't stop you from transmitting the virus, right?

When you write stuff like this it shows how little you are willing to learn. The vaccine mandate was immoral and unethical, maybe don't blame the people who just wanted to be left alone.

Ok I will go through what I know was requested in 2008 and denied for at least the first few years- some of these could have changed since I have been out of insurance for over a decade. 1- don't build in areas without proper water access.(Part of why I wanted your research on why hydrants failed) 2- do many more controlled burns 3- make fire breaks much more often. 4- clear brush more aggressively 5- make concerted effort to replace plants with "less flammable" varieties 6- there were also suggestions about building code and material improvements, but some of those were followed. 7- there were also suggestions on how to deploy the firefighters and other responders. There was another other points but I don't remember them. Florida had enacted much of what was suggested and improved our fire situation drastically.

They had more rain in 2022-2024 than any 2 year period in quite a while, so why did they not make more effort to retain it? https://www.laalmanac.com/weather/we13a.php

If you can explain how they ran out of water for the hydrants I will have a further conversation- most of what I know is boring but I will explain it anyways.

You seem to be having a mental breakdown with no coherent thoughts. I am sorry I am more aware of what California does not do to prevent fires but since I am not sure what started this fire and why it blazed so fast there is no point in discussing it with you. You are committed to this and I don't care enough to educate you.

Several of the larger companies have already broke off their Cali business into its own company so I doubt too much weirdness occurs from them but for the smaller companies I would not be surprised if their reserves don't have depth needed to survive this and that is when the state will get involved and the state won't give the little guy a bailout without the big guy getting their cut

Fires are a fact of life, and sometimes they happen even with intelligent prevention. I will say California has not done enough to prevent fires and then respond. They ran out of water for the hydrants for Pete sake and they lose a larger percent of the state annually than most states lose in a decade. Controlled burns might have prevented this, or at least contained it, that is what has to happen here in FL before fire season. All of that being said State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, Progressive, Liberty Mutual all want California to do certain things to prevent fires and they do not do them.

I worked fire claims near Sacramento in 2008. I understand the fire situation in Cali. Keep calling me stupid but I have discussed it with the people who tried to get the state to do the right thing back in 2008, to no avail. As for how much money they have spent, spending it improperly does not do any good. Your not having an opinion on whether it is enough, which is the only standard that matters, is all I need to know you have no clue.

What is this supposed to show? I have stated multiple times that 10% of these fires are unavoidable but there is a reason by Cali had a higher percent of its state burn in one year than CO has had burn in the past 22 com ined.

You seem to think a brush fire is harder to prevent than a forest fire. Brush fires should be very rare where they get out of hand. There is a reason that you never hear about other well populated areas catching on fire every few years.

You are so proud of your stupidity, Colorado has had 1.5 million acres burn in the past 22 years combined. California had 2.5 in 2021 alone and 1.5 last year alone. Fires will happen, but how we prep for them changed everything, in general CO is much better run that CA. Insurance companies have been telling California politicians for decades to cull the forest but they refuse, do you actually believe that global warming is centered over California?

I am truly not sure how to respond to this because if you can look at Cali who spent a record amount to end homelessness and got more, spent 24 billion on a train for 1 mile of track, and now doesn't have water for the hydrants but expect me to show you how Cali is incompetent, I can't get to a bar higher than what is easily present. Almost all States have large forest but none have the continuous issues of Cali, the fact that you are defending thr lack of progress because of politics is on you. I am not arguing this one in particular because until it is over we won't know if it arson, or something preventable. The argument I am having is why Cali is annually in this situation. The State is not doing enough to prevent fires in general. If the State did it's job 90% of fires would not start out there

Did you really just copy and paste the governors press release and then challenge my knowledge? I used to travel the country working Catastrophes for one of the largest insurance companies. I have seen the reports from FL in the late 90s and what they recommended FL do to stop the fires, FL did most of it and put fires mainly stopped. I know they have sent similar reports to CA but they are not followed, which is why it is so difficult to get a new policy in California. But please try another "gotcha" with a press release. You can educate me on something though what does California mean by "wildfire resilience"?

I think you are trying to say that you don't believe culling the forest won't stop 90% of these fires, which means you are proud to be ignorant. Why do you think Cali gets these fires every year and no one else does except once every couple of decades?

Bless your heart, you are so easily mislead. Can you tell one book that is banned where I live?

You mean a direct result of lack of humans culling the forest. Humans should take care of the situation and this does not happen.

You reference the Cali fires as a problem and then discuss Trump? The Cali fires are the definition of liberal stupidity. Simply cull the forest and this won't happen 90% of the time. Truly unaware of what you are saying.

So you know think Thomas Jefferson and Hitler are the same? Dude you are so funny.

But he is going to destroy democracy, your most sacred belief, and you went along with it. The amount of cognitive dissonance you must be going through right now must be excruciating

Is that from Designated Survivor?

Imagine bragging about handing over power to Hitler. If I believed what you claim to believe I would expect a much more robust attack against Trump by the only people who could stop him. Not sure how you square this comment with what you said previously.

So you think it is reasonable that a non violent person there should get years in prison? The violent I won't defend but the vast majority of people in jail from that day were non violent.

You can't seriously believe what you have just wrote? No one with an ounce of sense or intelligence doesn't realize since Castro took over that Cuba has turned into a shell of what is was formerly. I will take the word of the Cubans I know whose relatives were murdered by the Castro regime, and just because Bautista was his version of bad does not mean Castro is not much worse

Wow, you make some good points. It is shocking that the FBI, with at least 26 informants on site , had no idea this was going to happen. Truly they had so little clue they did not request a single extra police officer to show up to protect the Capitol. This is not to mention that the groups looking to overthrow the government were clever enough to leave all of their weapons outside of DC so they couldn't be caught on a weapons charge. Truly these politicians were facing the same kind of threat as Hillary did on that tarmac in Bosnia.
