Let’s Consider LA’s Future
Submitted by George McClellan
The California Dream is dead! And, Progressivism killed it! If public safety is the prerequisite to prosperity (NY Mayor Adams) where do we find it employed in California? We don’t! The Left will have none of it! Spending taxpayers money on social, feel good programs that anchor people into dependence on the government is more important. That will change!
The fires raging in Southern California will fade in comparison to the rage growing in the hearts of Blue state taxpayers in LA who suffered a complete lose of their possessions, their capital investments and in some cases, even family members. They will soon come to realize that for years they have been treated as mere pawns, easy “me too” money sources supporting the Socialist dreams of incompetents. Especially shocking to the elite wealthy in and out of the entertainment industry, those who have supported Progressive causes for years and invested so much of their earnings in homes where just the tax base for many, is greater than the annual salary for most, the realization is dawning on them that their former life’s under Democrat control, will probably not be coming back. Blue state voters and Liberal thinkers got a quick education in economics, management and priorities.
Economically, while viewing the thousands of smoking foundations of homes lost, and realizing the inability to afford even basic insurance coverage means those people will probably never have the opportunity to re-build there again is a hard lesson. The loss of capital investment is so great that when coupled with the multiple hurricane disasters experienced in Florida, Georgia and No. Carolina two months ago, the Insurance providers have been dealt a near death blow to their ability to even stay in business. Cutting their loses will be screamed out by the Progressives as a Capitalist betrayal when in fact, the problem lies in the already choking schemes of unelected administrative control freaks that Socialism requires to stay in business. Reagan was right when he said “Government is the problem!” Now perhaps, we understand.
Progressive government management edicts that allowed shop-lifters stealing less that $950.00 to go unpunished has, in the wake of the smoldering remains of burned out neighborhoods, unloosed hoards of looters on motor scooters to swarm into unburned neighborhoods, unprotected by a reduced police force, to loot and steal whatever they can get their hands on and get away with. What have Progressive politicians said about it? “Looting cannot be allowed” and “we’ll take serious measures to protect our citizens,” and etc. How? How about Gov Newsom announcing “Looters will be shot” and then shoot a few? Already we see the Governor and Mayor Karen Bass and their media supporters, trying to shift blame for the fires to the homeless. Don’t believe it! Fires can start from many sources, including tramps wanting to heat up a can of beans, but watch for the propaganda machine to ramp up and try to protect the Progressive legacy of government incompetents. Their complete failures to plan ahead and prepare for such ‘expected’ contingencies screams retribution and punishment. The Left should be on the ropes!
Also, because of the beautiful Southern California weather LA can expect an incursion of squatters. So. Cal’s climate has drawn not only those who could affords Malibu and Pacific Palisades property, but thousand of people, apart for the mere homeless, who live rent free by choice, in tents and RV so they can pursue their love of surfing. When the fires started, they simply drove away. When the emergency abates, they will become property squatters along the Malibu and other destroyed beach properties never to be removed again and the LA basin will become a giant refugee camp, the surfer class claiming the best locations. Also,what do you want to bet that California can kiss their Olympics good-by in four years.
Priorities for a normal working government must include fire and police protection. Filling ranks with incompetent DEI selections because of race, color and gender, is a crime against the tax payers. Not providing water sources for fire fighting when it can be done, is a failure of serious management and switching allocated tax payer money for LA fire departments gay chorus, is criminal beyond measure. Public safety services, like the military, should not be places for social experimentation and yet it had priority. There is a rage growing and a real revolution in the wind brewing. I hope these clueless creatures are soon dispelled with. I hope the city of Los Angeles finds a ne Moto. I recommend: “finis terminus acqitas.”
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, roll your sleeves up and go get ’em. We’ve got a lot of changing to do and it could be messy!
