@SlicerDicer @sun look, if society can be reengineered to accept a bunch of criminality and bullshit, a bunch of old structures can be retrofitted for current conditions

especially when the state wants to act like they're the end all be all, its on them

i agree the natural world is indiscriminate but we dont live in the naked natural world, we live in a world where govs want to be mommy and daddy so they are on the hook for the disasters from their poor planning, these fires are at the least exacerbated by the policies of the area, it simply cannot be ignored

and i'd blame any other place just the same for their lack of preparation

shit i partially blame the residents for having no plan, who tf owns a home and doesn't have a thought about its preservation
