[FRIAM] Help for texas

[gⅼеɳ ☣]

We lack infrastructure development across the board.  Renee' gave her house a "seismic upgrade" recently.  And although we had to get it *inspected* and get a permit, there is NO code for seismic upgrades.  The inspector just comes out, stares at it while rubbing their chin and calls it good.  When the 9.0 hits us, it'll be trivial to say it's our own fault for not preparing.

Similarly, Oregon is currently on fire, as is much of Washington and California.  The Eagle Creek Fire (https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23eaglecreekfire&src=typd) was allegedly started by some teenagers tossing fireworks in the forest. [sigh]  But, systemically, I'm sure there's much more to be said about forest management.

Three cheers for less government!
