Funny how WNC still hasn't seen real and meaningful assistance from the federal government but Biden just pledged to fully fund rebuilding and cleanup in California. The differences between NC and CA? CA could have easily mitigated the fire risk but they funneled those tax dollars to "charities" and government entities instead. Because they wasted those tax dollars, now it falls on us to fund CA cleanup when the people out here had to step up because the federal government wouldn't? Make that make sense.
