If we had a functioning news media, there’s a video that would be leading every newscast right now. It has nothing to do with a plane crash in Russia, a GOP primary debate, or even the indictment of every lawyer who’s ever given Donald Trump legal advice, as important as all those topics may be. This video is about Americans — including children — who died horribly this month. It’s about how their deaths could have been prevented if their government was even remotely competent.
The footage I’m talking about is an interview with a survivor of the fires in Maui. This interview was conducted not by CNN or NPR but by a real estate agent who moonlights as a citizen journalist. He spoke with a man who goes by “Fish” and survived the blaze in Lahaina. Here’s what that man saw. . . .

If I were they, I’d be headed for the wilds of Nova Scotia, and hope they can’t find me. Glad I’m NOT them. Heh.
Democrats? Jail? There you go again, Shirley, jesting.

Everyone was waiting for someone with higher authority to make a decision, so nobody acted.
That would be a typical behavior when incompetent people are placed into important positions due to political connections.

Hawaii power utility takes responsibility for first fire on Maui, but faults county firefighters
Finger-pointing Extravaganza....
According to the utility, the power was OFF when the afternoon flareup occurred. I am not asserting fact, but relaying what I read on another FR thread.
Take away item d in your list, the individuals in government are still mass murderers. If the power was off, then the utility leaders are in the clear.
