Over 10,000 homes destroyed, and $50-$100 billion in damages as California battles another explosive wildfire. Find out why nothing has changed and who's accountable:
“The estimate of the damage is somewhere now between, perhaps, $50 and $100 billion, and we don't have enough homes for the people who were left. But here's my point, nothing has really changed. Karen Bass is still the mayor. The deputy mayor, Brian Williams, is still under house arrest, or he's under investigation for phoning in a bomb threat.”
“And we still have this mysterious thing, don't we? Who causes these fires? It's taboo. You cannot mention the word homeless, but there are no lightning strikes. There are no other exegesis that might explain why these things keep happening. But you do have tens of thousands of homeless people spread all over the L.A. area, of 18 million people, many of them in the hills that camp out. So, my point is, we now have another fire.”

From the comments section:
California residents who have rooms or rental properties are saying they are afraid to rent them out even temporarily to people in need because CA laws protect squatters. Just another way CA politicians failed the people.
Great, short video by VDH pointing to the source of the problem - the politicians!

That’s a great reader comment about squatters in California.
We had such an experience 40 years ago. It took SIX MONTHS to evict a deadbeat, non-paying “tenant.” When the sheriff was FINALLY scheduled to come to the house to evict him, he took off on his own like a self-deporting illegal. And the laws have become even more pro-criminal since then.
It isn’t a long video, and I got ready for work while listening to it.
The fires were planned and the many, many “coincidences” that led to them were purposely put in place by Biden all the way down to stupid Karen Bass.
