Capitalism: Trump wants to end capitalism, just does not understand it
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests.

    Well, you can't property manage forests and do necessary design changes if you have lot of private contractors and lot of land in private property (sanctity!) around. So, actually Trump asks to end capitalism and confiscate all land into common property. He just does not realize it, so stupid he is.

    I'm also not sure what he thinks that the forest service should have done to mitigate the impacts of a prolonged drought and to anticipate large fires coupled with extreme (70mph) winds which made the fire move so fast that people got burnt alive while trying to flee their homes.

    Roman Fire Brigade

    Crassus had his own private fire department, and if your house caught fire his representatives would offer to buy it on the spot, at a one-time-only, fire-sale price that would fall rapidly as the flames climbed. If you said yes, you’d get a few sesterces, after which Crassus’ firefighters would do their thing. If you said no, you’d end up with a pile of ashes. (No public option being available, few owners were in a position to quibble.)

    “Rome had in very truth become the city where everything was for sale,” the classicist Edith Hamilton wrote.

    (then there were the arsonists)
