    Reparations from the state to the property owners in Los Angeles are in order, and soon. They are already late.

    Had to wait to the end for the reveal to happen. The rich people who built multi million dollar mansions in extreme fire risk country deserve to raid state funds, because nearly a century ago California was at the forefront of oil extraction. Yes, this makes total sense. No mention of Texas, Alaska, or any other state still all in on oil, of course. Or the responsibility of the US as a nation to curb oil usage. “Climate change is happening, so California owes me money because I am rich and own a house there.”

    This whole article is one laundry list of rich people complaints about California with a few obvious solutions (wow, after a major fire you think buildings should be fire hardened? You don’t say) sprinkled in to make it seem reasonable.
