LOS ANGELES—Saying such individuals posed a threat to the safety and security of all city residents, the Los Angeles Police Department announced Thursday that it had arrested everyone who lost their home in the ongoing wildfires. “In the interest of maintaining public order, I have instructed my officers to round up any suspicious person whose […]
I mean… entirely seriously, the LAPD probably will end up arresting a whole lot of them within 2 years.
They’re homeless.
They’ve lost their home, they won’t be getting reimbursed anywhere near what they’ve lost, they’ve been absent from work, might lose their jobs, their credit scores likely just tanked, it’ll be harder for them to find a rental, their cars burned down, can’t live in a burned down car, they’re at least mentally traumatized, if not physically injured.

I’m convinced this is the plan of the powers that be in the US, to ‘deal with’ more and more disasters from climate change:
Ew, you’re homeless, get a job or fuck off and die, ick.
They won’t be reimbursed?
Are you not up to date on the home insurance situation in Cali, in LA?
They’re all bailing out of the stateand doing everything they can to minimize payouts, State Farm dropped fire coverage from 70% of the LA area’s homeowners coverage a few months ago.
FEMA ain’t gonna make em whole. Neither is insurance. The Republicans are currently saying they’re not gonna send any disaster aide relief from the Federal Government without mandating their own policy changes in Cali / LA’s government.
They’re conditioning aid on enforced austerity, we’ve all seen how well that goes in any situation that’s been done in the last 20, 30, 40 years.
They’re fucked.
