“The point to make is that we stopped preparing for that likelihood, slipping into the ease of the place on a raft made of luxury beliefs.” YES. To paraphrase Adam Corolla, government elites are blaming everyday people for their leadership failures. Ridiculous.

What I have been fretting about for the past couple of days of the continuing inferno is: What is going to happen when the next Northridge-scale earthquake occurs? Which it will. What will we find out these incompetents were not prepared for in that case? What infrastructure has been allowed to disintegrate? What building codes have been ignored, bypassed and bribed away? To what degree have workable gas shutoffs been installed? How many DEIs does it take to not respond to a disaster? Is any responsible adult in charge thinking of this and not his hair?
