Think about it: Red, Gulf-coast states and Puert Rico will pick up Federal Disaster Relief dollars. PR may get what amounts to a “Marshall Plan” to get the roads and grid into the 21st Century. Blue state California doesn’t want their dollars going to “yokels” and islanders when they can get a piece of that action through “uncontrollable wild fires” and declaring the state a “disaster area.”
The funny thing is that hurricanes are always politicized as “climate change” harbingers. But _not_ “wild fires.” Because clearing the undergrowth (i.e., kindling) to _prevent_ forest fires runs afoul of the environmental laws that liberals enacted and love, they have a quick, easy, and “natural” way to get theirs, too, if red states pick up money from evil, anthropomorphicly-caused (in their view) hurricanes.
And I’ll bet folks there are more man-made “wild fires” created from carelessness and arson than there ever were hurricanes and other storms created as a result of “climate change.”
