Since the Tunnel fire in 1990, over 20,000 structures have been destroyed in California.
Property values have more than tripled in the same time frame.
Minimum wage has more than quadrupled in that same time frame and now sits at $16.50/hr
Meanwhile, the insurance industry can now longer make a profit in California and has been leaving the state in droves. A profit is EVERY person’s motivation when it comes to work. Hence the reason for minimum wage to continue to rise, so people can earn a “livable wage”.
This current disaster won’t end anytime soon, till there is a substantial change in the weather. Which comes back to the point of this post. The ICE CORES tell a different story of the weather, than the written history of the last 100-200 years. Humans and their hubris never seem to see the entire picture or tell the entire story. It takes too much work, time, and effort to actually understand the “Big” picture.
But what has changed in those same 100-200 years? The population of the state, which in turn drives up property values in and ever increasing rate no different than minimum wage & insurance rates.
