    not really, the federal government can provide funds to rebuild. whether they should provide funds for oversized multi-millionaire homes in Malibu is another question, but they aren't the only ones affected. the obvious is to rebuild more densely packed areas and multi-family buildings. and the rebuilt homes can be made more fire/earthquake resistant.

    i don't think Phoenix should be rebuilt if it burns down though or shit like this.

      The Feds could help poor and middle class people. But, while I don't know much about California wildfires, I know that helping poor and middle class people is rarely the most profitable choice. Only pretending to help, the marketing, is profitable.

        fed doesn't need money profits (eg. troubled asset relief program or paycheck protection program), that it doesn't help regular people is a political choice, U.S. is ran by the oligarchs and all.

          fed doesn't need money profits... that it doesn't help regular people is a more political problem

          I've little tolerance for such minimization and deflection of the consequences of unmitigated capitalism.
