This is a deliberately deceptive mischaracterization. The funds raised were never intended to be in the form of direct checks written out to fire victims or 100% for rebuilding support. The nonprofits used it for emergency housing and rent assistance, for food security, childcare, for trauma counseling and mental health services, for helping displaced workers, foster children, for helping small business recovery, for animal welfare, for environmental remediation and so on. And they were completely up front about that. Money was never diverted or misappropriated.

And with a disaster of that scale $100m is just a drop in the bucket. To go stomping around gesturing at the burnt remains a few months later expecting that everything would have been solved overnight and that $100m was more than enough is absolutely clueless.

There is zero evidence the nonprofits used the funds as you claim. It may have happened or it may have been diverted. It may have been used on unrelated or ancillary projects. We don't know.

I suggest that if they had spent it honestly, we'd know.

"Zero evidence?" That's flat out false and you clearly havent't been following any news. There's a ton of confirmed and verified evidence.

No evidence? Wrong, as multiple investigations have been following the money, for example:

ABC7 found grants sent to nonprofits like Door of Hope (rent/business startup help), Neighborhood Housing Services ($1.5 million for housing and financial counseling), Pasadena Humane Society ($250,000 for pets), and Heal the Bay ($100,000 for coastal testing)
https://abc7.com/post/raising-100m-los-angeles-wildfire-recovery-where-did-fireaid-funds-go-abc7-side-investigates/17095042

The LA Times and others confirmed FireAid grants paying for extra drivers, forklift operators, direct cash grants, school support, mental health services, and more.

So there is in fact a lot of evidence, in fact FireAid has distributed about $75 million so far, expecting to disburse the remaining $25 million in the coming months, but clearly it still shows $100m is nowhere near enough and FireAid alone isn't able to do everything.

The sources that you trusted and relied on so heavily as to get you riled and spewing "Democrats are evil!" and "No evidence!" clearly LIED. You should seriously reconsider your information sources - and your life choices.

Truly poor leadership. All around in CA.

Insurance has not paid out yet for nearly everyone. This is why no one is building yet - before you can get the permit, you need the money in hand.

Rick Caruso's private fire crew used local water and let the surrounding homes burn while they guarded his shopping center. I know he's running for Governor, but he's just like DJT.
