We are subsidizing people to live in places like Malibu by artificially limiting their insurance premiums. Let the market work, let Malibu depopulate. The cost to live in high risk areas must go up given the much greater risk of catastrophic events caused by the changing climate. Communities are going have to spend a lot on infrastructure and fire/fuel management to mitigate risk. Insurance companies will need to raise premiums to appropriate levels. Alternatively, states can insure their citizens living in high risk areas. Eventually, maybe people will migrate back to low risk, boring states with gray skies, rain and snow but cheaper cost of living.

The cost/benefit you speak of doesn't happen because of both ends of the spectrum. Low income people are much more likely to call in a small claim that costs more than their premiums and given the choice insurance companies would not cover low income housing, but the government tells them they must cover so many in each set in order to have access to the profitable people. Truly not sure how to fix it but it is the middle who pays the brunt of these policies 2

It's a miracle that only 10 people died so far. 10 that didn't listen to the warnings? I'm not into dei and Trans/gay bull ***** but this has no place in this tragedy! Troll farm! Fake news just like the fake president you trolls elected. 1

While I was referring to the first part of your post on trust, insurance companies and California, yes, flood insurance is a federal program and the playground analogy would apply as well. 1

If she can’t go in and get someone out she can’t do the job. Is there another job in the department for her? Probably. What is she gonna do? Run in and say oh you’re too big sorry you’re dead? She essentially is an empty uniform. And these are words coming from her mouth.
BillsFanNC Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Yes. More please. More. It will work this time I have no doubt. 1

Also that person in the video you’re mad at is not the LA county fire chief, FYI. Maybe do a little research before you decide to get all hot and bothered?

Pretty sure the wasp comment is completely irrelevant, but never miss an opportunity to blame things on white supremacy.

If the person in charge has never done the job they are not qualified. If the tank and file listen to a boss who can’t or has never done the job you don’t trust them. I’m not saying all whites guys get the jobs just don’t have a rule that blocks them from the job like the video we saw earlier in this thread. It’s public safety

It’s public safety Crowley has been on the force for 22 years and has risen through the ranks from a firefighter and paramedic to Battalion Chief to Deputy Chief and so forth. Do you think they just handed the job to some Starbucks barista?

That is is just about exactly what they tried to do in the FAA, until the Senate hearings, wherein the candidate was so clueless that he lost even Dem support and withdrew his name.
BillsFanNC Posted January 10 Posted January 10 When the LA fire chief herself along with the LA fire department makes who she chooses to engage in sex with the most critical qualification for her appointment to the position and then makes it a priority to hire firefighters on the basis of their immutable characteristics and not their qualifications TO FIGHT FRIGGIN FIRES, then yes we are allowed to criticize the leaders in charge when they spectacularly fail to FIGHT FIRES given their previously stated priorities. Roundy the useful idiot is done coping and seething and instead focusing that rage into doubling down on the useful idiocy.
