I really wish the GOP would’ve slowed down on some of these fire accusations and came in more logic based

We know the insurance companies recently cancelled policies 

Why would they do this, well let me tell you they have overhead costs as well as assess the RISK in an area in the event of an issue, at that point if there is a risk that is too high then 

1. The premium has to cover the risk or 
2. The policy must be cancelled as it is impossible for the business to cover

Instead of focusing on hydrants, reservoirs and other stuff 

In my mind we need to ask what would make the area less risky to PREVENT the occurrence of happening or minimizing its impact

The costs associated with 
1. Proper clearing of brush
2. Controlled burns and planning
3. Redundancy in infrastructure based off risk assessments and potential (this includes reservoir size, pumping capacity, trucks helicopters etc)
4. Building coatings/protection

All the costs would then be collected and proposed in a funding bill, this is what local government leaders should be focused on, keeping people safe and providing them best life

This is the real problem with the GOP approach is they are making it a DEI issue (which let’s be honest it is) but instead of saying “this is DEIs fault” they need to actually be figuring out what the proper funding is at the core and helping push through or govern on what is best for the people to live safely

Having governors who have dealt with disaster prep before and review successes and failures (look at Floridas hurricane prep, it’s not like they can prevent hurricanes but they’ve gotten damn good at getting prepped for them) 

The perception is that Newsome hasn’t done anything with bills that HAVE been passed and is making it easy for GOP to pile on, but they are right in the sense that more ACTION is needed whether this is climate change (it’s not) or arsonist (still not sure on that either) as these winds are a recurring weather pattern as well as months of no rain throughout the state
