Wife had been watching a short TikTok Video about the Maui fires and a person was saying that a bunch of investors were swooping in to try to buy land. the natives do not want to sell their ancestral land to investors who want to build resorts on this prime property.
My wife showed me the video and said, "They're saying that these investors used a laser beam to start the fire."
This particular TikTok video did not make that assumption. The man in the video was ONLY talking about the vultures trying to swoop in and take advantage of a tragedy before the people could even mourn their loss.
I agreed with my wife that it was definitely a possibility that the fire may have intentionally been set. I said, "Developers have set fires intentionally before, it's possible they did this time too." Then I added, "Even if it wasn't intentional..."
"See! That's why we fight! In your little brain, you want to say 'even IF!' ... you NEVER believe me. There is no 'even if' ! It WAS intentional. Developers set the fire, but you never take my side and you never believe me and you always make fun of me and this is why we can't talk about anything any more, and I don't want to fight because we're supposed to be going out on a date today, but you always seem to want to just dismiss everything I say and we can't agree on anything, we can't even agree on where to go to church, and you're supposed to be the head of this family and you can't even do that! Now, leave me alone because I want to use the bathroom and I don't want to say anything that I really shouldn't!"
