#13  rich Hollywood types

How much of their net worth was tied up in their homes, homes now valueless because their insurance will not pay out if the government will not let them rebuild? Formerly rich types have no value to politicians except as sob story props.

#11  Sounds like Bass cut off police patrols in the area. Squatters have moved in and the police refuse to remove them. I would have thought that rich Hollywood types would be protected from the consequences of their Marxism.

#10  $210 million or more was collected for the Maui fire victims in 2023. I wonder how much of that money actally got to fire victims? There were reports that developers swooped in for the pennies-on-a-dollar "fire sale."

#2  California Democrats funneled it to nonprofits instead.

And from there it went where? 'Starters' at the French Laundry? Please, someone have a look.
