once upon a time in hollywood there was a fire of blockbuster proportions. the ending presented here is also obvious though so far, unspoken;

It's a short script: "Once upon a time in Hollywood... The End."

A new apocalyptic video released out of Hollywood today, reveals an expanse of complete, total, absolute destruction that is jaw-dropping. Only this video isn’t a Hollywood production. It’s raw drone footage of the mansionburb inhabited by large numbers of Hollywood’s most elite stars, producers, directors, etc.—from Pacific Palisades to Malibu—and it has been completely annihilated in just 48 hours.

The drone flies over what appears to be an atomic blast zone. Every building has been leveled into rubble for miles. It appears that not even a dog house is standing. One of America’s most pre-eminent and beautiful residential areas has fallen. The impact to Hollywood film production may be felt for a long time. Stars, of course, can rebuild their homes, but who knows how much business got burned up inside those homes and what historic archives? Lives unsettled will be less productive. It’s all bound to have as big of an impact on the industry as Covid had because this is where the biggest of the big live.

It’s also where many average people work, many of whom may be without a job, though I suppose their masters will put them to work elsewhere when possible. With a median home value of over $4-million it’s not likely too many of the poor lived there. Not likely too many average people live in even the lesser homes either. So, most will have the resources to rebuild, but the damage they feel to their personal lives will be a heavy weight deep within, regardless, because they are still people with memories vested in the things all around them. Some amazing, storied homes that were part of the fabric of American history and culture, not all of it bad by any means, have also been laid waste. It’s hard to look at the sudden fall of Babylon, as some might think of Hollywood, without horror, awe, and sadness.

In some ways Liberal Los Angeles brought this on itself, though I am sad to watch the human tragedy and loss of beauty and rich history. What I mean is that their foolhardy mayor by some sort of gooey liberal thinking significantly reduced the funding of the fire department. That was as absurd as when the mayor defunded the police in a city high in crime, only to wind up, of course, with more crime. Why on earth would you defund the fire department in a region that has become infamous for fiery holocausts throughout its hills?.......more.......
