Proving that, no matter the crisis, the left will never let it go to waste.
The devastating fire in Lahaina, Hawaii, left behind a swath of horrific destruction, everything from known lives lost to as-yet-unknown lives lost to massive property damage. It is a true disaster and a serious crisis. And true to the Democrat mantra, the state’s Democrat governor, Josh Green, already has plans not to let that crisis go to waste.
I must admit that I’ve kept an emotional distance from the horror in Hawaii. When I realized this, I wondered if I had somehow wandered into sociopath territory without realizing it. How could I be unmoved? However, as the news has unfolded, I’ve understood why I was insulating myself a bit.
Moving with their usual warp speed, Democrats have been following Rahm Emanuel’s dictum that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Most obviously and inevitably, they’ve been blaming climate change for a disaster that almost certainly had its roots in an invasive grass combined with poor maintenance. (Poor maintenance was also behind the California fires that were used to push the climate change agenda.)
However, Governor Green, a northeastern Democrat, has another idea for using the disaster to further Democrat goals: He’s contemplating having the state take over the land and turn it into a worker’s paradise:
I’m already thinking about ways for the state to acquire that land so that we can put it into workforce housing, to put it back into families, or to make it open spaces in perpetuity as a memorial to people who were lost. We want this to be something that we remember after the pain passes.

Feels a little like the Highland Clearances in Scotland. Get the peasants off that land — the Upper Class wants it.
Vote for Communism. Get Communism.
Enjoy the Suck!
Democrat politicians just love cheap, empty slogans. And their idiot voters lap it up.
But I certainly encourage plenty of thought on this fire.
How much tax dollars come from that area ?
The plan from the beginning.
Which land is he talking about?
The land where people’s houses and shops stood?
Or the largely empty grasslands where the fire started?
When they’re not working on grabbing your guns, they’re grabbing your land.
So government can mismanage the land, yeah makes perfect sense.

In case people haven’t heard, the new Police Chief of Maui is the same guy who was the Police Chief in Vegas at the time of the Vegas shooting.
Like, what are the chances?

Oprah can stay and buy more land
I am sure there are all sorts of condemnation proceedings that can take the property and charge property owners for expenses if they make a stink.
