Is it any surprise the collapse of the façade that was California? Still clinging to their past image of sunshine, surf, fun, prosperity and innovation, they were able to allow everything to crumble into disrepair. Residents lived under the illusion that nothing was wrong, not seeing and doing anything about rampant crime, gridlock, woke social engineering on this and that, crumbling roads and bridges, gridlocking regulations, petty and intrusive laws on every little detail, homelessness, violence, abandoned businesses and buildings, closing restaurants and mom and pops, preening celebrities and politicians, smog, wildfires, floods, destruction of forests and national parks, petty fees, nothing works in government except to serve itself, high taxes but always running bigger and bigger deficits, and infiltration of society by criminal gangs.
Now, nature has had a say. You can’t deny reality forever. Rome has fallen as Nero plays his fiddle.
What does this have to do with dogs? Well, since this is a dog blog, I pay attention to what all this does to dogs. I wonder how many pets died screaming in pain as they were left behind as the fires raced through the LA neighborhoods. We know that rescues in the area are putting out appeals and shipping LA strays to other cities around the US. We also see that horses were left to die. And we know that wildlife was also either burnt to a crisp or had to flee in any way they could.
So, here’s my suggestion. IF you see these same signs where you live, it’s time to get out. Now. Slap yourself out of your delusions and go. Don’t be like Lot’s wife. Don’t end up like the people in LA… and I’m referring to all those non-celebrities whose lives are now destroyed and who don’t have any savings to fall back on. Your dog can’t do it for you. What city do I think is heading for the next giant disaster in the news?
Prediction: Seattle.
Prediction 2: San Francisco
Prediction 3: Chicago
QUIZ: What is a Potemkin Village?
Plan accordingly.
