Whenever the "pictures" are dramatic and akin to apocalyptic imagery that we have been programmed to perceive that way, and the whole media landscape (of every and any cultural, religious, political and social creed) is entirely governed by the "click-bait" principle......it is VERY important to look at some facts.......about the scale of what has/is happening in LA.
The "news" is currently split into two, on one important part of this "story"........either 1,000 homes/structures have been burnt, or 10,000 homes/structures have been burnt down.
These two figures equate to either 0.1% of the building stock in LA, or 0.7% of the building stock in LA, by my approximate understanding.
1/1000th of homes destroyed, or 7/1000th homes destroyed, does not, an apocalypse make.
Just my understanding of this matter, at this time.
