The Dramatic Scale And Scope Of The Los Angeles Fires And What California Governor Newsom Should DoThe fires in Los Angeles are horrible to say the least. It’s one thing to see the devastation, but the size of the fires in total gives one pause. And it should. Listen to these numbers.Earlier today, the report was that over 15,000 acres was with buildings on fire. Here is how that compares to a popular theme resort, Walt Disney World:Walt Disney World is 27,443 acres or 43 square miles. The fires at present cover 54 percent of Walt Disney World or 23.2 square miles. That’s the size of the island of Manhattan.Now, the reports are that the acrage covered is 30,000 and that’s larger than the 43 square miles that is Disney World. That means the recovery effort will be costly.The State of California, first, has to make sure the many thousands of bricks and mortar employees get their payments for the next two years, or until the places they worked at are rebuilt and back in operation. Second, that points to the next cost: the rebuild itself.Some will have insurance, but some will not. The best aim for government is to budget as if all of the damaged and destroyed buildings need to be replaced. Then, the effort must be to schedule to pay to get them replaced.What will all of this cost? Just eye-balling it, the price tag looks like $100 billion.In my next stream, I will detail how this financing may work.

Note from Oakland News Now Blog, Zennie62 YouTube, and Zennie62Media: this Oakland News Online Blog video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. This is what we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online Blog site and Zennie62Media -created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, thus less chance for Oakland News Online Blog, Zennie62 YouTube vloggers to be robbed. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
