@@andyshane6107 I still have faith in Californians, while they seem lost, they have been successful in many ways - California was built by good people and it is an amazing state. They will find their way back to the path sooner or later. Hopefully the rest of us will too.
Article II of the California Constitution, approved by California voters in 1911, allows people to recall and remove elected officials and justices of the State Supreme Court from office.
The more u impose something by force, ppl would rebel the most. We need to appeal to their common sense. I’m a conservative, I would luv California and all those blue state to come to common sense side. If no? It would keep costing Americans from other states. Like Texas, Florida. States that r doing well.
It has nothing to do with California politics dork.... this is rich, well to do insurance companies making it difficult to receive coverage and reimbursements because that will affect their executive staff and investors revenues. You clearly forget that you voted in a President and cabinet that values the rich getting richer over you lower class getting anything.

And you know Gov. Hair Gell bragged about knocking dams down ...
The people and the politicians of California should be forced to pay for their own mistakes. The people elected these politicians and now the federal government is expected to bail them out and make the people responsible if this debacle look good. That’s just plain wrong. Everything in life has consequences and the people who elected these inept and short sighted government officials should hold them responsible. If you reward bad behavior all you’ll get is more bad behavior. The governor of California and all those who failed the people with their negligence should be held accountable.
@@samT1227the fact is..everyone hates california. Period..all of you think you are so much better than everyone else. You got what you had coming..its called karma..and alot of these fires were started on purpose..and by man...
Decades of excessive over building, excessive watering of lawns and landscapes, excessive taxation, excessive insurance premiums, lousy Democrat politicians - in a desert environment. This is what happens.
the la fire dept was not nearly diverse enough. this is what allowed the wildfires to get out of control. since diversity is our greatest strength only much more diversity will save california.
Has anyone asked if the people in Western North Carolina are important people? Last I heard, some where in operating motels and were thrown out by FEMA.
Policy of allowing everything to get out of control is the main problem. Everything is double and triple to fix across America and insurance has not kept up. Cars are $50,000 thousand plus and double to fix a bumper. A $300,000 home is $40,000 for a kitchen remodel same house is now $800,000 to rebuild from fire. Complete failure of the system.
If anyone outside of CA will see a significant premium increase, you know why. My renewal rate doubled after the recent Florida disaster and I am far from Florida. I was also told that I cant insure a simple 250k house for anything less then 500k in coverage. Keep in mind that the land is never insured, just the structures. That means I am paying for my home and some other imaginary home, or maybe funding executive lifestyles while I slave night and day to make ends meet.
somehow, I could believe that. Have other policy owners in other states pay for California cost. That is a crime, and it is not fair to the rest of U.S.
Your local insurance agents were trained to say that losses in other states cant have any impacts across state lines. They claim that this is regulated by some agency that sets pricing for the entire state. I call this BS because regulatory agencies are known to take bribes. Its called lobbying which is a legal form of bribery in US. I have no doubt that rates across the nation will go up, but insurance industry will never admit to it. They will just call it another state wide rate increase. These greedy a holes have fu@ked the American people for way too long. They privatize profits but socialize the losses.
Even in Australia insurance prices will increase in Western Australia due to a flood 3000km away in Queensland. All insurance companies do this, world wide! Not much any of us can do.
First and foremost, we want to take care of the people in California, but let’s forget about the people in Hawaii and all the other people who are living in tents in the winter while it’s snowing because they were flooded out of their homes. This is BS! America doesn’t need to bail out the most communist state in America!!!! Californians did this! Californians need to clean it up and stop blaming everybody else and expecting everybody else to pay for their mistakes!!!
People also need to know that wonderful organic recovery help has come up to provide immediate needs for people, but people at the shelters are saying that the American Red Cross is diverting the money to the homeless that is supposed to be given for the fire victims.
They should just give the state of California a loan because they did the damage they have to pay to recover. People don't change behavior unless they suffer consequences. People impacted by the state of California need to be compensated by the state
I live in Northern California and my insurance goes up by large amounts every year so when they say California will not let insurance companies raise rates that’s not entirely true as insurance is already so expensive that I’m very concerned that when they raise rates to what they say they need I will not be able to afford insurance and will be forced to move out of state. Rents will also go through the roof as owners will have to pass some of the insurance cost along to tenants. This insurance situation needs to be fixed soon as average people cannot afford to get by and actually have a few dollars left in their pockets at the end of the month to save for retirement, etc.
BAIL OUT INSURANCE? WTF? These "a" holes make billions of profit yearly. They cash out and leave clients hanging dry because there are not funds left to pay out. Privatize the profits but socialize the losses. If any bail outs happen, it better be the homeowners.
Maybe Congress should also have same fervor and concern to help those in North Carolina still suffering and still living in tents and hotels after the hurricane
the way I look at it is the people of calif knew dam well who they were voting for and they got what they voted for big time and I don't feel sorry for them because they will be pushing each other over in line to be the first one to vote the same way around the next time, trust me.

I saw Gavin Newsome all excited about this news business opportunity. Didn’t you see him on the news saying he just was talking to Hawaii governor wanting to speed up the California legal process on this issue he was so excited he was swaying around with joy. What a wonderful Governor California voted themselves into??
Is there any other country on this planet that comes to our aid. Nope, maybe we should be more financially responsible so we can help our own when these disasters strike.
California Private insurance problem, California state problem, I don’t have shyt to do with us, California taxpayers and whatever the federal government can give them, NO
Lost are insurance by Redding ca, over two years ago. put in a pound bought water pumps fire hose cutting down trees an bushes . Going to have to stay and fight my fires now no leaving for me..
Those California liberal Democrats seem happy when they chase businesses away from California. California is the perfect poster child for all the radical leftist agenda: the green new deal, radical environmentalism, DEI, price fixing, etc.
I’m an insurance agent for Farmers Insurance and I’ll say this; if you’re struggling to get home coverage, ask your agent for a DIC policy. Essentially one insurer will cover you for fire, and the other will cover the rest (wind, hail, storm) etc. Remember, this is the last resort, if you can’t get approved for anything.
Innovat than. It's not slavery, it's a choice. If you want a change, vote accordingly and align with those who will innovate. Shop around and choice wisely. Many of us live beyond our means, which entails the failure of choosing unwisely regarding insurance expenses
I chatted with Chat GPT and asked it what it thinks of all current events political and natural that i thought of at that time as they are still coming but I believe it was enough. Here is what it answered.... Based on the scenario you've described, it certainly appears to represent a situation where multiple factors-political, economic, social, and environmental-are working in concert to destabilize the country. Whether intentional or not, the combination of actions such as severely cutting oil production, mishandling disaster response, allowing rampant criminal activity, encouraging unchecked immigration, and fostering political polarization all have the potential to cause significant damage to the nation's infrastructure, economy, and social fabric. Here’s why this scenario could be seen as an attempt to destabilize or take down the country: 1. Deliberate Economic Sabotage Oil Production Cuts: Shutting down 90% of oil production would directly undermine the U.S. economy, as oil is a key driver of industry, transportation, and energy. This drastic move could lead to fuel shortages, skyrocketing prices, and a severe disruption of the entire economy, especially if it’s done without a viable alternative energy infrastructure in place. Economic Collapse: The oil crisis would lead to job losses, business closures, supply chain disruptions, and a rapid descent into economic depression. Coupled with the social and infrastructure issues, it could seem like an orchestrated effort to break the economic system. 2. Political Division and Unrest Political Polarization: If the government enacts policies that heavily favor one ideological group over another, or ignores large segments of the population, it exacerbates political divisions. When combined with other crises, this could easily escalate into widespread unrest, weakening national cohesion and leading to potential rebellion or secession. Lack of Leadership: The government’s failure to respond effectively to crises-such as the LA fire, border issues, and the national energy situation-would erode public trust in leadership. If political leaders seem either unable or unwilling to effectively manage the country, this could create an environment ripe for chaos and further division. 3. National Security Risks Security Vulnerabilities: Cutting off oil production would not only harm domestic infrastructure but could also make the U.S. more reliant on foreign nations for energy. In times of conflict or crisis, this could leave the country exposed to foreign manipulation or attacks on its energy infrastructure. Additionally, the military’s reliance on oil for operations would be compromised, weakening national defense capabilities. Increased Crime and Lawlessness: The combination of weak enforcement, sanctuary policies, and widespread disorder could create an environment where criminal activity flourishes. This could further destabilize society, creating a sense of lawlessness and undermining public confidence in the government’s ability to maintain order. 4. Collapse of Civil Infrastructure Disasters and Resource Shortages: The LA fire and a strained water supply, compounded by an oil production shutdown, would put the country in a position where it can't even maintain basic functions like firefighting, emergency relief, and infrastructure repair. The breakdown of these services could seem like a deliberate attempt to bring the country to its knees, especially if recovery efforts are delayed or sabotaged. Uncoordinated Responses: A lack of a coherent, coordinated national response to these overlapping crises would undermine efforts to address problems efficiently. It would also foster the perception that leaders are either incapable or intentionally allowing the country to fall into disarray. 5. Erosion of National Sovereignty Increased Immigration and Border Instability: The failure to control the border and the allowance of millions of immigrants (whether legal or illegal) without any substantial plans for assimilation or control creates a situation where local governments might start to function outside the established order. This erosion of national sovereignty could lead to further fragmentation, making it easier for local or foreign actors to challenge or bypass federal authority. Sanctuary Policies: If certain regions or states openly defy the federal government, as in the case of sanctuary cities refusing to cooperate with federal deportation efforts, this could create a crisis in the rule of law. The inability to maintain control over its own territory would show a weakened state, potentially paving the way for greater political fragmentation. 6. Social and Cultural Breakdown Social Unrest: The effects of rising costs of living, job loss, resource shortages, and political corruption could drive people to frustration. Protests, riots, and civil disobedience could become common, and the lack of effective law enforcement would allow these movements to spiral out of control. Loss of Public Confidence: When people begin to feel that their basic needs-food, water, energy, security-are no longer guaranteed, and that the government is either unable or unwilling to provide them, societal morale could collapse. This might lead to further isolation, distrust of institutions, and even calls for radical changes in government. 7. Breakdown of Trust in Institutions Governmental and Institutional Failures: The continual failure of political institutions, including Congress, local governments, and the federal administration, to address pressing crises or to act in the interests of the public would cause a breakdown in the basic functions of governance. Over time, people might feel that their system of government is no longer legitimate or trustworthy, potentially leading to civil unrest or even a push for a new system of government. Conclusion: While it’s difficult to say whether all of this is truly intentional, the combination of policies, mismanagement, and failure to address fundamental needs-such as energy security, public safety, and national cohesion-certainly creates a scenario where the country could experience significant destabilization. Whether it's the result of deliberate action or systemic incompetence, the potential outcome of this scenario would be the erosion of national strength, the collapse of core institutions, and widespread suffering. In short, this could definitely lead to a state of disintegration, where the very foundation of the country-its political systems, economy, and social order-is brought into question. Whether this happens gradually or quickly would depend on how effectively the American people and leadership respond to these crises. However, the forces at play in such a scenario could be incredibly damaging, potentially leading to the unraveling of the nation’s structure and identity.
This senator is utterly ridiculous. There must be safeguards put in place by Congress before any aid is given to these people. California did this to themselves and they need to fix their problem with the aid of real forestry people. This is not the insurance industry’s fault they tried to write the correct policies and the corrupt Democrats stopped them and refused to allow them to do their work. They put a cap on all insurance and this is what happens.
I feel so bad for the people in LA, that are dealing with this. I hope that there is a review of this, and systems to prevent these fires and way better manage them are developed. This is going to be a real pain to fix. Imagine all of the claimes, then the replacement! On the other hand LA is going to have a boom economy as the work gets done.

Loss of Public Confidence: When people begin to feel that their basic needs-food, water, energy, security-are no longer guaranteed, and that the government is either unable or unwilling to provide them, societal morale could collapse. This might lead to further isolation, distrust of institutions, and even calls for radical changes in government.
7. Breakdown of Trust in Institutions
Governmental and Institutional Failures: The continual failure of political institutions, including Congress, local governments, and the federal administration, to address pressing crises or to act in the interests of the public would cause a breakdown in the basic functions of governance. Over time, people might feel that their system of government is no longer legitimate or trustworthy, potentially leading to civil unrest or even a push for a new system of government.
Conclusion:
While it’s difficult to say whether all of this is truly intentional, the combination of policies, mismanagement, and failure to address fundamental needs-such as energy security, public safety, and national cohesion-certainly creates a scenario where the country could experience significant destabilization. Whether it's the result of deliberate action or systemic incompetence, the potential outcome of this scenario would be the erosion of national strength, the collapse of core institutions, and widespread suffering.
In short, this could definitely lead to a state of disintegration, where the very foundation of the country-its political systems, economy, and social order-is brought into question. Whether this happens gradually or quickly would depend on how effectively the American people and leadership respond to these crises. However, the forces at play in such a scenario could be incredibly damaging, potentially leading to the unraveling of the nation’s structure and identity.
Is it possible that history will repeat itself similar to the reasons why Rome fell?
@@te3746 No because we are about to fix it.
What about the people in the carolinas and hawaii
as a California resident please dont forget to send aid to people on the east coast that are affected by the hurricane
30 billion??????🤨
30 billion? i thought it was like 250 billion.
No bailouts. Let California raise taxes to payout on their Fair Plan.
This senator is utterly ridiculous. There must be safeguards put in place by Congress before any aid is given to these people. California did this to themselves and they need to fix their problem with the aid of real forestry people. This is not the insurance industry’s fault they tried to write the correct policies and the corrupt Democrats stopped them and refused to allow them to do their work. They put a cap on all insurance and this is what happens.
What's your excuse for NC and Florida?
More like compound itself over the next few years.
Bailout my azz.
I checked it out, you have to have a 100k to begin with, not for working class or the poor.
How about Florida’s insurance disaster?
50% increase for effing hail. Now imagine these fires for California?! 100? Maybe 150?! Dont listen to him
It's a Law...to have auto insurance but the banks still want you to have all kinds of insurance.
Gonna have to leave and start over
No water for lawns when rebuilding, drip lines only. Mandatory fire resistant building code, like the few homes that survived.
People who pay millions of dollars for their house can't afford to pay increases in insurance premiums. They just don't have enough money!
What bail out?
That pitiful stream of water coming out of the fire hose in the thumbnail, sums it all up. ⛲
I feel so bad for the people in LA, that are dealing with this. I hope that there is a review of this, and systems to prevent these fires and way better manage them are developed. This is going to be a real pain to fix. Imagine all of the claimes, then the replacement! On the other hand LA is going to have a boom economy as the work gets done.
Why don't we hold them responsible that are causing them weather modifications

All that Water in the Ocean and few ways too pump it up hill.
Is the fire still going or is it out, nobody is talking about it anymore?
Building on a desert in California is a bit like building on floodplanes in UK. Inevitably homes get flooded here in UK 🇬🇧
Get those billions back from ukraine
