In this controversial-at-the-time essay, Davis maps the fire ecology of the Malibu coast and explains why ongoing overdevelopment of this area is the height of capitalist folly.</p> <p>Catch Jamie, Jake, Fellatia G and more at Super Solidarity Smash Bros, a fundraiser for activist legal fees at the Robinson Space in Los Angeles on January 25th at 7pm!</p> <p>Check out Jake’s podcasts:</p> <p>Pod Damn America: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/poddamnamerica">https://www.patreon.com/poddamnamerica</a></p> <p>Why You Mad: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/whyyoumad">https://www.patreon.com/whyyoumad</a></p> <p>That’s My Podcast, I Don’t Know You: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/idkypod">https://www.patreon.com/idkypod</a></p> <p>Sign up as a supporter at <a href="http://patreon.com/partygirls">Patreon.com/partygirls</a> to get access to our Discord, a shout out on the pod, and all bonus content.</p> <p>Follow us on ALL the Socials:</p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/party.girls.pod/">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@partygirlspod">@partygirlspod</a></p> <p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@party.girls.pod">@party.girls.pod</a></p> <p>Leave us a nice review on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/party-girls/id1577239978">Apple podcasts</a> if you feel so inclined :)</p>
