Telperion Farm on fire

Wow some people can politicize anything I guess. Ignore this idiot and he'll have to find another website to start fight on. Maybe youtube comments section or something more fitting
 
France doesn’t collect that revenue in the ways you might think. Despite the stereotype of heavy European income taxes on the rich, Paris relies disproportionately on social-insurance, payroll and property taxes. Social taxes account for 37% of French revenue; the OECD average is 26%. Payroll and property taxes contribute 3% and 9%, compared to the OECD averages of 1% and 6%.

That's probably why a lot of friends from abroad decided to live here.

Yes, we pay a lot of taxes. But when you have an accident in life, the community helps you. You don't have to prostitute yourself to get medical treatment, we pay taxes, your kids can have a top-notch education without having life-long bebdts, we pay taxes, we care for the others : is that what you call "socialism" ? If that is so, I'm a "socialist", yes. Someone who cares for the others.

I used to be a Christian, then I saw how hypocritical all the churches were. Money, sex abuse and the like. Phoney golden tablets from the sky, etc, such stupid things.

Now I live in the real world - which is not perfect, but I won't get fooled again, I'm not a child any more.

I called it the lost year. Everything goes wrong this year.
It sure does. Honestly I am so tired of everything 2020 throws at us. Just hoping this is not the tip of the iceberg and that 2021 will be an improvement.
 
Been watching the satellite images of these fires the last few days. Truly massive smoke plumes, never seen anything like it. Almost all of the bright white areas here are smoke, flowing west from the fire sites.

We watch quite a few webcams out west, and I've never seen the like of the smoke coverage. It's terribly sad, I wonder sometimes if there will be anything left...

You should see my truck parked in the driveway every day before I wash all the ash off from the creek fire, which just destroyed my new girlfriends family cabin of 54 years at the top of Meadow Lakes. It was made of logs, we are hoping we can get up there and assess the damage soon. Hoping the logs prevented total destruction...
 
Really sorry about Chris and Lisa’s place. Good people.
 
NO!!! Really glad to hear they are ok, and I am sure things will be fine in the end but I can't imagine this. Great people.
