The fire of Los Angeleswith 10 deaths, 10 thousand houses in smoke and around 150 billion in damage, is a dramatic event.
And there are many elements in this story that need to be considered. First, the stupidity of the mayor who was elsewhere and who had not adjusted the fire extinguishers nor had he thought of emergency plans in case of fire. Second, the urbanization of the city, which has grown tremendously in the last 50 years. And third, the insurance companies, which were careful not to insure houses knowing the risk far outweighs the reward that they could ever collect. In fact, the market knew very well that insuring a house in those conditions against a fire was like insuring someone who flies a hang glider: the electrical systems in the city do not work properly, Artificial Intelligence consumes energy in a monstrous manner, thousands of homeless people live there and everything is built of wood.
Then it goes well: there are the usual Tozzis who tell us that it’s always all the fault of the heating climate. Well he did Musk to leave California for Texas, as Zuckerberg, the former Democrat, had already done. In fact, in California they are fixated on climate warming, they have made it an ideological battle instead of thinking about adequately maintaining their city, burying electrical cables and so on.
Ps: today Crippa on Sheet he says that someone is also attacking Musk for the fire in California instead of taking it out on the mayor, a Democrat, who went around while the city was burning and who cut something like 17 million dollars from the fire department’s funds.
