This will be our new lives if capitalism continues to exist
Just so you all know, the fire was likely caused by a private electric company, that essentially has a monopoly here, and could have been prevented if they shut off power in that area for only a few hours.
They chose not to because they wanted to maximize profit potential. This was more important to them than the entire town of Paradise.
No Corporation is your friend. No Corporation will ever care about the good of others unless it is profitable to do so.
…you log onto Tumblr for the first time all day to find your notifications are blowing up because an old post of yours was reblogged a few times and, incidentally, flared up a mini-debate (if you can even call it that), which you had no intention of having.
Side note/Note to self: Even when you try to be clearer than clear, and even if you work extra hard to be gentle and non-confrontational in your posts and make as many points to try to explain your feelings on something, eventually to the point of overcommunicating?
People will still get it wrong. People will still get butthurt. You will feel like you shouldn’t say anything at all.
Whatever, y’all. I’m busy trying not to literally choke on toxic fumes from a massive fire that has destroyed an entire city and left over 1,000 people missing in California. So, if you think I’m a jerk or overly sensitive, so be it. I personally don’t have an issue with anyone and have zero desire to try and prove myself or my thoughts beyond what was written previously.
Now, I’m going back to my hole in the ground to write Romionefanfics and hopefully avoid the smoke that’s strangling my CA skies, literally making them the worst in the world.
PS If you want to help the survivors of the Paradise, CA Camp Fire, take a lookhere
The fires in CA are no joke. I’m safe from immediate danger thankfully, but it looks like the apocalypse outside, air quality is so bad, they’re saying it’s currently the worst in the world, and over 600 people are missing and almost 70 are confirmed dead.
Those of us in surrounding areas are being told to stay indoors. Schools are cancelling classes. People have lost their homes, their pets, all their worldly possessions, and some have lost their loved ones or their lives. Everything is scary and awful; the fire is still less than 40% contained.
Just… keep us in your thoughts, y’all. It’s bad and it’s a long way from over.
Hope things get better for you all in California, @burgundydahlia. Sending my thoughts over the Atlantic.
Imagine hating black people and being so blinded by patriotism
Didn’t some old bastard burn up his nikes while he was still wearing em and end up in the emergency room with third degree burns and bits of rubber grafted to his feet
Good
For the ones destroying your Nike ish, tall do realize Nike has already gotten your money, right?
I’m confused; why are people burning their Nike products because Nike are showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement? That seems…well, baffling to say the least.
Because they are idiots and their idiot logic tells them to.
Have you seen the video where the idiot burned his shoes while wearing them??
It really is baffling. Like, do they not realise how ridiculous that logic is?
I did see that video. And I yet to understand how they thought it was a good idea? How did they think setting their own feet on fire would be okay?
This fucking site: hey net neutrality is about to die :((( please help us :(((( boost and rb everything you see even if you’re not American :((((((((( we’ll have no wifi :(((((( we need you!!!! :((((
Non-Americans: okay
Non-Americans: hey greece is basically on fire, 150 people are wounded, 53 are killed and our nature is being destroyed. we’re suspecting arson. can you please reblog some posts and help spread awareness?
This fucking site:
Allow me to elaborate on how bad things are here. 7 places are burning at the same time while in Μάτι and Κίνετα the fire not only burned trees but because off the strong winds(80 kilometes per hour) it burned houses, it burned people. Firefighters and volunteers do whatever they can with the little gear they have as always because why on earth would the goverment give money to firefighting vechiles, canadairs and literally anything else that could be useful in this country when we know that every summer someone wants to burn forests so they can build whatever they want. Anyways, people started running away once some firefighters managed to warn them to evacute ( something that others should have done because these people have to keep working so they can prevent the fore from doing anymore damage ). People started running to get to the beach which was their only hope, unfortunately some people with their families were trapped once the fire circurled the area around them leaving them with the only thing to do, wait for their end. Charred bodies were found locked in embrace the next day. Now the people who reached the beach had to wait there so they could be transferred from there to the port of Ραφήνα. Here’s a photo :
The deaths are officially at 79 by the most recent official announcement. Places like Mati, Kineta, Chania, Neos Boutsas and more are being burned to the core.
Minimum help is being given by neighboring countries. Officially 2 aircrafts from Italy and 2 from Cuprus whipe some are expected from Romania, Hungary, Spain.
There are abouy 31 people registred as missing in a web site while that doesnt mean those are all the people missing.
If you know people you know or suspect are missing call 199, the fire department.
If you are looking for someone missing don’t call hospitals, call 199, the fire department.
People got burned alive in their cars, in their homes.
Cars are literally melted by the fires.
The victims include children, thankfully the ones that survived are shocked, of course, but safe and in the hospital. The number of kids in the hospital ‘Παίδον’ (Pedon) in Athens is 11; 12 exited yesterday, and the kids left are expected to leave today.
The suspicion of the fires falls on arson. It something that Greece has suffered from a lot throughout the years. Yet we are never prepared for most of our problems whether it has to do with natural causes or not.
The situation is horrible. If you can’t help anyway else, reblog to spread awareness on the matter!
Honestly this is so much more helpful than my vent post (which I didn’t expect to blow up the way it did). If y’all are gonna boost something, boost this instead.
