They Reject Big Government—Until It’s Time to Clean Up the Mess



November 10, 2019


There’s an article in the paper about how the plucky people of Paradise, CA are rebuilding their town after the wildfire destroyed it in 2018.

First, several government agencies were called in to help with the cleanup. Who’s paying for the billions of dollars it costs? Not the plucky citizens of Paradise, that’s for sure.

But they are rebuilding. Unfortunately, they don’t want to adopt all the stringent restrictions that other fire-prone cities have adopted, so their chances of remaining unscathed by the next fire are slim.

So when the city council won’t ban combustible plants within 5 feet of homes, because they don’t want big government telling them what to do…


Big Government should say, “Then next time, clean up your own damned mess, Plucky Citizens of Paradise.”
