Once the death toll is finally tallied and the extent of the damages is assessed, there will be investigations into the Maui wildfires. At least, there should be, due to the revelations that the bureaucrats tasked with managing disasters were absolute garbage at their jobs. The island suffered massive brushfires that killed at least 100 people last week. Over 1,000 people are still missing, and whole communities have been destroyed. The damage currently stands at $6 billion, but that’s subject to change, making this one of the deadliest wildfires in over a century.

Lahaina 2023- The Disaster within the disaster.
I live on Maui. Just a few miles up the road from Lahaina. My mailing address is actually Lahaina and until a few weeks ago , I worked for Mick Fleetwood as a Chef at his famous restaurant that burned down on Front Street.
I own my own condo here and I’m now the building manger. I’ve owned my own businesses in the past and have survived hurricanes in the Caribbean and wildfires in the Rocky Mountains. My life experience clearly shows me the significant lack of leadership in this situation and it is absolutely astounding in my opinion.
If it were not for individual citizens stepping up with the volunteer efforts to bring relief to people with food, clothing, medical assistance and other resources, there would be nothing.
Long before the storm I saw this coming and this is a glaring example of what happens to a society that abandons a meritocracy for one of inclusion and good feelings. You add the historic demons of corruption, favoritism and nepotism and you will necessarily have people in positions of leadership that have NO clue as to what it takes to be a leader and if and when called on to lead can do nothing but fail. This is what we have here here on Maui. It was and still is a recipe for a disaster within a disaster.
And God help us, now we have Joe Biden who is coming with Jill in a few days to add injury to literal insult.
When I see a Maui Police officer I see an adult wearing a Halloween costume. They have all the outward appearance of an officer, but many of them are just wearing a costume. A costume they got because of who they know, blow or genitalia speaking, what’s below, as the ranks here are a stark example of wokeness and inclusion. I’ve often said; “ wait until the crap hits the fan here someday….”. Well the crap has hit the fan here on Maui and get ready,…. because many communities across the country have set themselves up for the same type of disaster within the disaster as Maui did.
This situation here is going to get increasingly ugly and difficult over the next several weeks months and even years. Already the tensions between locals and others is getting worse. In many ways, Lahaina and Maui are the canaries in the coal mine as what happens here will happen in other locales. Please help me when I ask all my friends here to pray for a peaceful end to this tragedy here on Maui. It’s long from over and in many ways, it is just beginning.
Mahalo! 🤙🤙

The fire was so very suspicious so I gotta wonder... Why did the Governor of Hawaii offer to buy ALL the land rather than help to rebuild? The area would obviously make a nice resort area and these pesky Homeowners would't sell any other way!
I thought originally, it was a private enterprise, but the Democrats in charge gotta be as evil as Biden!

When Clowns are in charge you can only expect a chaotic three ring circus.

You get what you vote for. These are typical progressives. The People come last in their considerations.
Should be tried for each person who died, with capital murder.

Thanks much for that observation, #2. When estimates of the damage are made, I'm sure the governments do not include the livelihoods and future earnings of all the shops and restaurants that have been wiped out. To them it's just a little town that guarantees the existence of FEMA whether those drones do anything to help or not.

Remember those action TV shows set in some tropical paradise where all of the locals know each other and the government leaders are a bunch of corrupt idiots or native simpleton? Well that is what Maui is turning out to be. And like the shows, when the going gets tough, the incompetent government ultimately fails the people die to their need to hold on to power and tradition.

Matt Vespa....Do you really expect efficiency and competence in a Democrat owned and operated state? And forget about investigations and lawsuits, unless the electric company has a MAGA CEO. Then, Fanni Willis will find a way to indict him.

It's going to be tough getting fire insurance in Maui.

Read that this disaster is way bigger than they are saying with potentially thousands of dead. I'd be interested if #2 could confirm or not if residents were advised to shelter in place.

Over 1,000 people are still “missing.” At this point, several days after the fires, aren’t they likely dead?

And there's the book, released before the fire was contained, about how it started. 'Although the fires continued until at least August 11th, a book chronicling the “events of August 8-11, 2023,” was published August 10th.

That X lecture from the mayor about reciprocal reverence to the godly manifestation that is water and that sharing it requires true conversations about...wait, here it comes...EQUITY(!). Unbelievable.

There is SO MUCH here that was preventable. This is no time for excuses but it seems that is all the people are going to get. The officials in charge of disaster management should be ASHAMED of themselves. #4 describes the response as "ineffective leadership". I believe that ineffective leadership was the goal; they want it to appear that they are taking action to alleviate misery when in reality they have zero care or compassion for those poor people. I wouldn't be surprised to find out at some point that lots of money changed hands in order to prompt such massive incompetence. To say all of this is appalling is a huge understatement. Crimes against the people were committed here, I'm sure. And #2 --- I appreciate the background you supplied and also know I'll be sending up prayers on your behalf. God bless you all.
