  • The vivid, heartbreaking images from this week's Los Angeles wildfires called urgent attention to California's longtime decline. But this time, those affected by its bad policies and bad governance include a demographic rarely touched by them: the rich.

The article from MSN discusses the aftermath of a fire in Los Angeles, specifically around the Hollywood sign, which has been used as a metaphor for the broader issues facing California under what the author describes as "blue misrule." The piece critiques the governance by Democratic leaders, pointing out the irony of California's elite facing the same crises as less affluent areas, such as homelessness, crime, and now, natural disasters like fires. It highlights the failure of state policies in managing these crises, suggesting that even the wealthy and influential are not immune to the consequences of what the author perceives as poor governance, including inadequate response to wildfires, housing policies, and public safety. The article uses the fire near the Hollywood sign to illustrate how these issues are now visibly affecting high-profile areas, traditionally insulated from such problems, thereby exposing the systemic failures of the state's leadership.
