Four Realities of the LA Fire in My Mind

 1.  Once people with burnt-out homes realize the property tax impact....that they are likely still paying 60-percent of the old property tax amount....possibly  up to four years before it can be rebuilt.....roughly 50-percent of folks will put the acreage up for sale, and leave the state.

2.  What idiots would go and buy the acreage (burnt-out) as a group-investor (buying 100 to 200 properties), unless you had a iron-clad promise by the Mayor that property taxes would be scaled for a year or two?

3.  What insurance company would come back in and provide coverage....unless it was approved to go up 50 to 100 percent?

4.  For all this talk of massive apartment construction.....when you do the math and income discussion....what middle-class family can afford $4k to $5k for a 3-bedroom apartment?  I see apartments being built, and delivered by the end of 2027....with a quarter of them sitting empty for a minimum of a year because of the outrageous rental cost.

Biden Poll

 Interesting survey done....question asked....Was Joe Biden's era a failure, and the response from 61-percent was yes.

I'll make three observations:

1.  From the end of 2021, almost weekly...I got the impression that decisions made in the White House, came from a group....not Joe Biden.  

2.  As bad as his mental decline was in 2021 and 2022....it just intensified greatly in 2023/2024. 

3.  This continual delay by VP Harris....not to push Joe out....ended up in the election final three months....being seen as a good thing.  Even a seriously flawed Joe Biden....was probably a better President than Harris. 

A forgotten era?  In ten years....this topic won't be discussed.  As strange as it sounds....it'll be a forgotten piece of history.

Interesting Question

 I was reading today through social media BS, and someone asked the question....if the US government officially admitted to having recovered crashed UFOs and the biological remains of alien life-forms....what next?

I pondered over this.

I guess I'd lead off and ask....how did they crash, and if you (the gov't) rigged the situation to occur, and if this might might amount to some space-war with Borg-like guys?

Then I'd ask how sure you are....of them being stone-cold dead?

Finally, I'd ask....if their friends come looking for them.....do you have a good alibi for the crash and dead folks?

Just Pondering

 I pondered over the LA fire  business, and if I was one to have my $1.5-million house to burn up....with insurance in effect.

After a week of looking around....I'd come to realize that there aren't enough apartments within 200  miles for me and the family to linger/stay.

In my mind, there's just one avenue....go and buy a $25k travel trailer (probably from AZ or NV), haul it to the home-site (burned-up) and ask the city to hook it up to water, power and sewer.

So the first problem to come up....the power folks (run by incompetency)....will require at least a on-site evaluation (requiring three months just to be seen). Then their advice is that power can be hooked up....at some point in late 2026 (figure 18 months of waiting).  

You end up with a solar platform in the burned-out site.....with marginal power for over a year.  

At this point, some city official arrives to examine your burned-site....where you had 12 solar panels (now burned-up), and just says this is a toxic zone....requiring a $700 evaluation by some certified gal to say if you need special $8k cleansing.

Then the water issue comes up.  Another review....another delay...this time for two  months.  They will admit that pipes function, and there is water there without any issues.  The chief problem?  They don't see a functional meter, and it'll take two months for them to acquire the meter and install it.

The meters?  Made in China, and you discover a year after installation....they are mostly defective.  

Garbage service?  Well....they send you a note to say sixty of their trucks burned up, and it might be December before they can run basic....once-a-month garbage pick-up.  You can make up for this....by bringing your own garbage to such-and-such point each Saturday....to dump into a dump-truck.

Then the issue of things resembling a trailer-park....where your neighborhood of  sixty burned-out houses....now have sixty trailers set-up.  The city planning commission?  They aren't going to be easy-going on this issue.  I would assume by October...a limit of one year will exist for parked travel trailers.  

A strange phenonium will be noticed as folks rebuild....as underground stainless steel 12,000 tanks are buried in back-yards....for future fire-protection.  City regulations? By the end of 2025....at least  25 pages of regulation will exist, and a department of underground water-tanks will exist, with some chief being paid $225,000 a year in salary.....to control these tanks.

Oddly, an environmentalist group....the anti-stainless steel water-tank foundation will come into existence....saying this is not environmentally friendly.  Eventually, a guilt-tax (for each thousand gallons....you need to pay $100 a year to ensure your fire protection situation).  

Meanwhile....some guy from Oregon will figure a way to haul 12,000 gallons of Oregon water down via I5....'stealing' the free water from some river and filling the individual tank up in LA.  Water-police will come to exist in both California and Oregon....to prevent this business scheme.

By the end of 2025, I'd suggest that almost 60-percent of those having lost homes....won't be staying and have exited the state.  

Oddly, in my scenario, of the 'dirt' properties put up for immediate sale....all will be bought by hedge-fund companies....but a year into the holding....they discover that no one is interested in moving into these neighborhoods or facing California incompetence.  A word will be invented....'Newsomed'....meaning you have a property asset that can't be marketed, and you lose money on your investment.

Finally, adding to everything.....at least five percent of the burned-out folks....won't have the money for rebuilding, or moving.  So they end up in a homeless situation....living out of their car, and the LA mayor is now more determined than ever....to help the new homeless.

The Hearing Business

 I sat and watched about an hour of the Hegseth hearing yesterday.  There were two curious things I observed.

First, these protest folks in the crowd.  In particular....'General Pinky'.  

It just seems like they want some crazed look....to  attract attention.   The more foolish....the better.

Second, the line of questions by the Senators....stuff you'd expect out of 5th grade kids.

If you were a Brit, or Chinese guy watching....you'd suspect it was a comedy TV show.

Where All This UFO-Alien-Drone Chatter Ends

 Between today and next Tuesday....there's some anticipated event to occur, where a fair amount of details fall into public view.  At  least....that's the suggestion if you follow the UFO 'world'.  

What all this hinges upon?  Some folks who've apparently run recovery-of-UFO projects, and they are in some state of disgruntlement....over the leadership and decisions made since the 1950s. 

My belief in this?  It would appear that the disgruntlement folks are viewing Trump's arrival as a moment to reset reality.  

So I'm going to suggest nine things:

1.  This admitting of aliens/UFOs....will involve tens of thousands of pages of details....which will be hard for people to follow, or make sense.

2.  At some point, the disgruntlement crowd will admit to holding aliens prisoner, and be viewed in a harshly negative way.

3.  About two days into this 'reveal'....people will stand and suggest that the whole story resembles bits and pieces of Star-Trek and Star-Gate TV shows.  To which....the producers of these shows will  admit that they were given material at times....to build a script around....to prepare people for this day.

4.  Some of the reveal....will suggest that mankind was planted and helped to evolve.  If you were kinda religious in nature....you might be in a fragile mindset at this moment.

5. The amount of hidden technology, and it's sudden revealed nature....will probably shock you more than the alien existence business.

6. A couple of thousand folks will jump onto the alien existence thing....purely for a sexual interest....wanting to hook-up.

7.   Someone will stand up and make a analytical judgement....that Earth is more like a 'West-World' situation....where aliens go for entertainment.

8.   As dramatic as this 'moment' will be....in less than 30 days....it'll be removed from the news cycle,  and half of society will deem it a minor event by the end of 2025.

9.  Finally, within weeks, it'll be apparent that some Earth folks want to exit and get off the planet....hoping for travel opportunities with the aliens.

All of this.....with Trump as President?  Yeah, that's the unbelievable part of the story.  

The Safer/Better 'Game'

 Jake Sullivan.....Biden’s National Security Advisor....spoke up and said:  "The American people are safer and the country is better off than we were four years ago."

I paused over this comment from yesterday.

Safer?  NO.  

Better?  There's some pause for me over this. Things are more expensive, and every week....I see some company dissolving.  

There should be some alcoholic beverage for moments like this....do four shots of something when a Biden-dope says stuff  like this....to relax the mind.
