Incompetence or something darker?

When choosing a photo for today's article, I couldn't bear to post a burned-out image of this once-vibrant town humming with life and heritage. I wanted people to remember how it used to be, if only for just a moment. I wanted people to see what was destroyed and put a real face on it.

There are a lot of coincidences that surround the Maui fire, which destroyed Lahaina, killing and displacing locals but leaving billionaire and celebrity estates untouched. Was it just due to incompetence, or was it something darker at play? Marie investigates in this article.

What are your thoughts? Do you know anyone who lived in the area? Do you have information you want to add? Do you think that this tragedy was just a natural disaster fueled by incompetence? Or do you think something darker was at play here? What do you think the outcome will be for the survivors of Lahaina?

Let's discuss it in the comments section.

PS: I put a link in the article for a good place to donate directly to the victims if you are looking for a way to help.

Check out my newest book!

Whether you’re dumpster-diving-for-food poor, have an incredibly limited grocery budget, or have a garden variety thrifty grocery budget, you’ll find some ideas that work for you. Most of the suggestions also consider that someone with a tight budget probably spends a lot of time working and can’t always deliver every single bite from lengthy scratch-cooking processes.

This can’t really be called a cookbook as much as it is a "hodgepodge of thrifty ideas about food." You can substitute ingredients in just about every recipe based on what you have on hand. The flexibility is what helps to make it so frugal. The foods you’ll make are truly YOUR meals, based on what you have, what you’ll eat, and what you can afford.

Saving money in the kitchen doesn’t have to be dull and depressing. These frugal ideas, paired with the right attitude (and a sense of humor), will level up your menu!
