Imagine that, the Governor of California acting to help the people affected by this disaster.

Not really a surprise to me.

@#3 ... remove the oversight that ensures the houses built back are such pieces of ---- they burn faster the next time. ...

How does the order say that?

From the summary...

... The order suspends regulations under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) ...

... These folks are pretty pissed at Newsome. ...

Why? What has Gov Newsome done to bring on this disaster?

As opposed to the GOP and Big Oil's objection to mitigating climate change?

@#6 ... Why would Newsom decide any step or regulation currently in place not be important anymore? ...

Interesting that you now seem to be backing away from your prior comment, Yes, remove the oversight that ensures the houses built back are such pieces of ---- they burn faster the next time.

As I said previously, as opposed to the GOP and Big Oil's objection to mitigating climate change?

Yeah, Gov Newsome is working to help the people affected by this disaster.

@#10 ... He didn't do this for other fires ... ...

Possibly because the fires of prior years were not as devastating as this current disaster.

And, if I may add,

The quote about donors that your current alias seems to want ascribe to me was not said by me, it was made up by your current alias. A good indication of the level of veracity of its comments.

Apparently it is now having to resort to lies to justify what it says.

@#12 ... They're all devastating. ...

Bad wording on my part.

Thank-you for catching that.

Yeah, it is the wealthy people who have suffered in these fires, but also, entire neighborhoods and communities of middle-class people.

The pictures I have seen show entire tracts of houses, houses on what look like 1/3 acre lots, side-by-side lots, for blocks at a time, being reduced to ashes.

So, yeah, when the wealthy communities start to get destroyed, e.g., Paris Hilton's home destroyed, that seems to get special coverage.

Aside from that sporadic special coverage, I do see a lot of coverage (most of, nearly all?) of the current coverage is about what looks to me to be middle-class working neighborhoods reduced to ashes.

I look at the people who see their home reduced to ashes.

And not just their home, but the community they chose to live in and love.

Reduced to ashes.

@#15 ... discussing after effects of fire and mental mental/emotional effects on fire workers. ...

Back when I was a child ...

My Dad was a NYC fireman, as I have noted many times here.

One day he came home from work.

He was unusually silent.

He just went into the bedroom and sat on the side of their bed.

I asked my Mom what was going on.

She told me, that he carried a baby out of a burning house, and that baby the died in his arms on the way to the ambulance.

... mental mental/emotional effects on fire workers. ...

Yeah, I saw that, first-hand.
