    This article has to be the joke of the month. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-...response-to-wildfire-disasters-185044601.html

    The sad thing is that this article actually was on Yahoo! Finance and had a news video accompanying it.

    This is the gist of the article

    "The report, titled “The unequal vulnerability of communities of color to wildfire,” assessed wildfire vulnerability by identifying which Census tracts were disproportionately impacted by factors such as demographics, housing, transportation, language, education, and socioeconomic status."

    Can only imagine what might be next.

    Perhaps it would be the shock to some that black is not really a color.

    Don't see many wildfires in urban areas, even in california. Not sure what they're talking about being disproportionately affected.
