[Muttinchopsforevermore]

Peace and healing to the ones feeling the heat.

It is such an indescribable horror. Imagine that this would be nothing compared to an explosion of a nuclear attack.

[Carletta-xg]

Musk and Bazoe help these people in Ca. You made millions from Americans its your turn to give back

[supremecommander]

[CloroxPresidente]

I think that when Trump was born the doctor slapped the wrong end!

[Josephs-ke]

The name change to "Gulf of America" - that will bring down egg prices for sure!🤣

[Tommy-nxg]

Is Trump going to attend Elon's inauguration? 🤔

[TheRealCrimdor]

5 different fires in different locations. This is not natural. I hope we learn the truth of what caused this.

[francesbatycki]

Maybe Elon can help. lol! That the gop is using this as a political paddy’s hacker is pathetic!

Some people say to rake the forest does help to protect against fire but I don't think that is completely right because the soil and the forest need biomass. The real problem is that the soil abilities are weakened. A dry and hard soil can not or at least very slowly soaking up water /rain/moisture. Dead grass is a very easy start to form a fire but why is it still there and not grazed by livestock or wildlife? The plants dying over time and erosion, flooding and other bad things can easier occur. I did a very small experiment myself at a very dry spot in my garden. There was only brown and dead plants and almost bare ground. I used a sickle and cut off the plants in the similar fashion as a lawn mower does it. Until this time it hadn't rained almost nothing in weeks and it was hot. Finally we got just a bit rain and this very spot almost exploded with new deep fresh green plants /grass. Just next to it was normal lawn and it just looks like before the rain, still a bit green but more on the edge of brown!

Let Elon pay that 50 billion and throw in another 50 billion for good measure. Maybe he'll stop running his stupid mouth about other people's suffering!

[Baldeagle]

Remember hurricane Helen and the South/North Carolina residents.
$750 FEMA help.

[melsafken]

Gas lines & electric lines ARE bombs!
Is there anyway to shut down the electric lines?
Gas lines?

[brucecampbell]

Don't worry Californians, Joe is trying to figure out how to help Ukraine again.

[johnbrown]

I love how Americas typical attitude is like, we are American everything will just magically work itself out. Then LA burns down 😂

[kenjones]

$50 billion in losses? A pitance for Musk or Bezos, but do you think they would donate it?

[preenaraheem]

What goes around come s around. Karma is real.
