1. Just today discovered it would cost me 10 K a month to put my wife in a nursing home. Decided I will hold off just as long as I can. I sure wish I had that 30 K Obama care took from me. It would only last three months, but I think I’d rather the nurses get it instead of the insurance companies.
2. Considering where they live, they are likely much, much more better off than I am financially.
3. If they are going to continually vote for dems, then they are only getting their education on voting habits. If we should help them rebuild we are just short circuiting their learning process. Even those few who voted Republican need to be more convincing to the neighbors or move to a red state. When CA has only dems living there, it just might speed up the leaning process. You might note some of the most avid anti-communists come out of pro communist nations. Learning firsthand always is most effective.
4. If they don’t get help rebuilding, maybe, most possibly, they might not cut firefighting funds while Santa Ana winds are predicted in the near future.
5. Finally, and most importantly, they just might be more willing to allow clear cutting of some of the dry brush, aka fuel for wild fires, especially near their homes, businesses and schools.

My guess is less than ten percent learned their lesson. If you’re a dem, you know why more than I do.
