New Scum

It's not fair to solely blame the LA governor and the mayor for this fire disasters since they are not directly involved with every department of the city. However, they are responsible for hiring and putting the right people in right places to make sure that they have the ability to prevent, mitigate and handle this type of disasters or situations. 

If I was one of these fire victims, I would've gather the whole town and chase the governor and the mayor with forks, picks and torches like in black and white Frankenstein movie. People were paying these two incompetent leaders and their buddies' mortgages via tax dollars just to lose everything in these fires. They were so unprepared and underequipped that they had to call and bring Mexico and Canada for assistance in the midst of trading wars. 

This is the main core problem with hiring and putting the wrong people in leadership positions. It doesn't matter if it's the government or a corporation. America is so used to operating on autopilot mode that people don't even realize we are so f**ked in so many ways. Poor leaderships and mismanagement leads to layoffs or strikes and bankruptcy for businesses. In the case of LA, it created devastating destructions and hardships for countless citizens living in LA.

We are paying way too much money to useless people and not enough to people like firefighters and etc. Throughout the whole LA fire coverages, I haven't seen a single CEO, computer nerd, a beaurocrat and others fighting fires and saving lives. It was sad to see that Hollywood actors such as Mel Gibson, Dennis Quaid, Jennifer Garner and etc were the only ones who had something meaningful and intelligent things to say instead of beaurocrats and others. All these beaurocrats and others have to justify why they to need to get paid millions of dollars when firefighters are not even getting paid that much. This is why America has a f**ked up priority with full of corruptions created by stupidity, greed and incompetence of fake Americans. 

This fire in LA displayed and exposed many issues with LA and America in general. 

1. There are way too many reporter wannabes. There are one too many people who are too busy recording fire disasters with smartphones or drones instead of actually fighting fires.
2. The values of these homes or properties in LA are not worth millions of dollars. It's a borderline scam. How can you justify the value of those homes or lands when there is no way to protect those homes from fires, other disasters and foreign invasions? 
3. Too many kids and people in general played Monopoly way too much instead of playing games like Catan, Risk, Simcity and Civilization. This is why the priority of this country is all jacked up. This is one of many reasons why people like Elon Musk would rather focus and want more computer nerds via H1B visas who will abandon this country and Americans in a heartbeat instead of those who could fight fires and etc. They are looking for Screech instead of Zack or Slater. It's an interesting argument, but Screech ended up making porn instead of building super AI computers. 
4. Even if insurance companies didn't drop coverages of fire victims in LA and raised premium, they wouldn't be able to pay out every victim in this LA fire. So we need to ask ourselves why we are paying so much money on insurances for nothing. Do the math and see if I'm wrong or not since I don't have a master or bachelor degree.
