NM getting $4B after wildfires started by USFS

https://sourcenm.com/briefs/another-1-45-billion-for-northern-nm-fire-victims-clears-congress-as-part-of-the-omnibus-bill/

how much would they have gotten if the fires were caused by lightning?

this feels like a $4B scam - if they have been doing nothing to
prepare for wildfires - why should they get $4B when a wildfire hits?

if this just a typical deep pockets lawsuit turned around a little bit?

everyone should have had fire insurance - so why is the feds giving them $4B?

even if the USFS "caused" the fire - did anyone prove malfeasance or
malevolence? - if the usfs was in between a rock and a very hard place
- with no way out - then is anyone surprised that a huge fire broke
out?

lets see what wikipedia says -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calf_Canyon/Hermits_Peak_Fire - 1,000
structures burnt - no explanation as to why the USFS let 2 fires get
away from them

bottom line - no changes in procedures - no discipline - nothing
learned - insurance or the feds will pay for everything - enjoy your
new house - just take the money and shut up
