everance. Relying on the government is dumb, the local utility couldn't eve n keep their water flowing, a total joke. I imagine this property is very p ricey given the location.
res or to prevent damage to all homes when a fire like this is raging? Do you also expect the government to protect you from earthquakes and tornadoe s?
rvices and systems then you're damned right it's an expectation they should be able to do something.
o matter how large or how widespread? You sir, are a master of expectation .
es, they damned well better have reliable and accurate warning systems in p lace that reach everyone in the danger zone.
ing and even luckier to not have died.
al danger here really, most Malibu residents who didn't flee the area simpl y camped out on the beach where fires rarely rage. Malibu is a beachside st rip, check your map, the whole place is already at the beach.
king about how stupid he was for underestimating the fire. No, he didn't " make" his luck. Luck is luck, meaning the part of our lives that isn't con trolled. There was nothing about the fire that was controlled. He made an effort and was lucky to not have died trying.
ommon. Rather than pay for expensive earthquake insurance he suped up his home with bigger beams and supports, etc. An earthquake hit and his house came down. Not only did he lose the value of his home, but also the extra money he spent on super-building it. His efforts didn't pan out so we crit icize him for not doing the "smart" thing and buying insurance. Had "luck" gone differently people would have praised him for being clever enough to "make" his own luck. Bull. It's still luck.
onable conclusions.
such as yourself...
