  2. LA FIRESTORMS 2025
  • Think on the “American” responses
  • Think on the outpourings of sympathy for rich people with nice homes
  • Think on the likely under-counted homeless/undocumented dead in LA right now
  • Think on the State of Israel dropping roughly 100,000 tons of conventional TNT on GAZA, a place with roughly the same footprint as DRESDEN (iykyk), and what that does … and imagine almost half this amount was dropped in the first 2 months … and how do hostages survive this? Tell me again about the magical tunnels and paragliders?

Now imagine a 2 X LA FIRE scenario if different parts of the country, or 4 times …

Imagine what that looks like.
