In a news story about the terrible fires raging across SoCal, I read that the flames forced “more than 265,000 evacuations from Malibu to San Diego, including a jail, a hospital and nursing homes.” Is there a subtle comparison going on here? Is the author suggesting they are more similar or dissimilar to each other?
Hah! interesting. I wonder what the author’s suggesting… I desperately hope it was inadvertent and thus particularly revealing.
