#15  Is that a rhetorical question?

It was me. If it's not rhetorical or sarcastic, I tag it.

#13  #12 Appeasing these people never works.

You bail them out, and as Biden's words show, they still shit on you.

#10  And climate change (read: cycles) are pre-Columbus as well. Caliphornia does not deserve one thin dime.

#9  California, U.S. Forest Service Establish Shared Long-Term Strategy to Manage Forests and Rangelands

Trump called Newsom's bluff earlier this year

#8  I wonder if they would use the money for illegals or fixing the forests.

Is that a rhetorical question?

#7  QUESTION I have been meaning to ask for sometime.

Are these all State owned or is some Federal National Forests?

If a major part of these are US Forest controlled then Screw the Tree Huggers and do control burns.

Demonstrate to the Public the animal life and environment saved. eg. Ft. Bragg NC. does control undergrowth burns regularly and I cannot think of any out of control forest fire in the years I was there.

To be fully forthright. Aside from the Wacko-West Coast Tree-Hugger problem. There is also an annual weather pattern that promotes massive wild fires in the West Coast states.

A quick Wiki (List_of_California_wildfires) check by anyone will halt any false claims of climate change and etc. Because West Coast Wild Fires have proven to be pre-Columbus.

#6  Insurance companies will reject claims that are the result of 'reckless abandonment'

#5  Trump needs to make the money contingent on controlled burns EVERY YEAR.

If you don't burn the dead wood every year it builds up...

The federal reserve would be wise to follow with their bailout also keeping the financial deadwood around to really sink the economy..

#3  Too bad if true.

There are no rewards to bailing these people out.

#2  I think Trump just reversed that decision.

#1  With all due respect to the good ones still in Cali:
