250k+ jobs added, unemployment drops to 4.1%. A goddamn nightmare for 48 consecutive months is finally ending.

The greatest economy in global history begins in just 10 days! Your auto insurance will be cut in HALF! Just watch!

"Stop listening to what Trump says, DSL. Pay attention to what he MEANS. Clearly what he meant when he said he'd cut your insurance in half is that your insurance will go up. And Trump delivered once again! Promise KEPT!"

You have learned nothing in the past 4 years. The numbers are all fake.

Thank God for all those great new Govt jobs...

Meanwhile, The stock market dives and inflation won't stop.

Fucking stores around me are already posting signs that prices are going up because of the minimum wage hike so the hike helped nobody.

Your party of degenerates, with help from the right, have fucked up this country so bad that nobody can save it.

But I am so glad your life is so great while shit burns around you. Mine ain't bad but the shit burning around me is going to torch me all too soon.

Now cue the Wiz and....

They need to cut red tape and allow better forest management, that is for sure. That said, I believe one of the two worst fires (the one in Altadena I think) started right in the middle of a neighborhood. Not up in the hills in the brush. And a homeless lunatic started another one. It's just an inherently dangerous place to build dense, expensive development. But so are barrier islands on the Gulf and Atlantic and we do it anyways, so....

And the insurance apocalypse is coming. The California politicians wouldn't allow insurance companies to raise premiums to reflect reinsurance risk—consumer protection and all that. The state sells FAIR insurance as a last resort. What is shaping up to be $150 billion in claims, and FAIR has $700 million in reserves. Plus, permitting will take two years. If the Coastal Commission gets involved, the homes near the ocean will never be rebuilt.
