No matter how wealthy you are, your house can be destroyed.

AND...

(from USA Today)

California had a home insurance crisis before the LA fires. It's only going to get worse.

The impact of the catastrophic wildfires could drive up already sky-high premiums and prompt a new wave of private insurers dropping policies or declining to write new ones – and not just in the LA area.

"We don't believe taxpayer funding should go towards that for minors or for adults. We've poll tested that, and we're pretty confident that the American people agree," Schweppe says.

And yet they look the other way when taxpayer funds are used for frivolous political stunts like migrant flights, or to defend laws that are so off-the-rails that they're sure to attract lawsuits, etc...

Today's so-called "conservatives" are not the responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars that they claim to be; it's all smoke and mirrors with these people.

It's a snake pit.

"When you elect a president of one party, often, states of the party that oppose that president have enormous ability to try to block or push back on directions that the president might want to go, especially if Congress can't function or pass legislation," said Barry Rabe, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan's Ford School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
