    Out of respect for the ongoing tragedy I thought we’d separate the two.

    I’ll start.

      The mayor returned from Africa today.

      Not a good look.

          My understanding is:

          Insurers proposed higher rates to cover elevated risk.

          CA denied the increases.

          Insurance Cos canceled plans, left state

          CA ‘FAIR’ policy of last resort took over.

          It’s totally insolvent.

          The following I’m less sure about but it is my current understanding:

          The law says that if the FAIR plan goes insolvent, existing insurers are required to bail it out.

          The remaining insurers are likely to leave the state altogether rather than do that.

            Maybe Trump should annex California citing national security concerns.

            Elbows up!

                By the way Florida has a similar situation.

                    @LuFins-Dad

                    Honestly I saw libs of TikTok post this and I’m like, so what? They’re women.

                    Are they unqualified? Then say it and describe why. Are they doing stupid shit? Then tell me about that.

                    But don’t just assume I’ll surmise that because they’re women.

                    Oh they’re butch dykes? Honestly as women firefighters go that’s probably the ideal subset to recruit from.

                    One commenter said ‘I’d like to see them do [some physical task]. Well I have news for you, the leadership of one of the largest fire departments in the country doesn’t have that as part of their job description. Also I have no idea who that commenter was but I’ll bet the chick on the right could take him.

                          Re @George-K question, moved to the appropriate thread.

                          My understanding is they didn’t fill the reservoirs because some fish in Northern California might have taken offense. Ok more like environmental rules stymied the diversion of water away from its historic path to the pacific.

                            I chuckled at this reply. As I did at LD's "DEI priority" comment. Happy Thursday 🙂

                              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                  I really doubt that. Everyone knows CA has massive exposure to wildfires.

                                  I mean sure, can you find some twitter rando mocking him? But of his three hour interview, I doubt many people chose his comments on the potential for CA wildfires to mock.

                                          Honestly I saw libs of TikTok post this and I’m like, so what? They’re women.

                                          Are they unqualified? Then say it and describe why. Are they doing stupid shit? Then tell me about that.

                                          But don’t just assume I’ll surmise that because they’re women.

                                          Oh they’re butch dykes? Honestly as women firefighters go that’s probably the ideal subset to recruit from.

                                          One commenter said ‘I’d like to see them do [some physical task]. Well I have news for you, the leadership of one of the largest fire departments in the country doesn’t have that as part of their job description. Also I have no idea who that commenter was but I’ll bet the chick on the right could take him.

                                          How does the normal person get to that point? In fire departments, by rising through the ranks.

                                          Think any of those gals could roll hose or pack 200 pounds of deadweight like a man?
