    As I recall, "Chinatown" was about water hanky-panky in Los Angeles. I remember that and something happening to Jack Nicholson's nose.

    Pop-Pom Waving?

    It's what sycophants do, and no movement in American (probably Western) history is more sycophantic than MAGA. In other words, virtue signaling for knuckle draggers.

    Right, so they deal with extraordinary fire hazards, plus a scarcity of water. It's surrounded by desert. The Vox article is clearly an opinion piece. I found this portion to most likely be B.S.:

    But what has truly been infuriating, at least in the California policy circles I run in, has been not the mistakes in the lead-up to the disaster, but the response in the aftermath. The governor and mayor have not responded by reconsidering any of California’s bad forest management policy. They don’t have a plan to secure fire insurance for homeowners in other at-risk areas, and they definitely don’t have a plan to manage the cascading problems that will be caused by the bankruptcy of the state insurance program.

    Lucky you? And what about for those who will inherit the places we inhabit?

    It is a correct statement, because American values are rapacious capitalism, relentless extraction, corporate greed, guiltless consumption
