The Hidden Crisis of Wildfire Cleanup Workers

Every year, California’s wildfires devastate landscapes, but a lesser-known crisis emerges in their aftermath. Undocumented day laborers, often hired to clear toxic debris like asbestos and lead, face hazardous conditions without proper safety gear, fair wages, or legal protections.

I have spent most of my professional life helping people who were being taken advantage of by systems they did not fully understand. As an attorney, I represented consumers against predatory lending practices and worked in elder law protecting seniors from fraud. My family lost $239,145 to identity theft, which became the foundation for my seniorgard.onlime and deepened my commitment to financial education. Since 2008, I have maintained a blog at timothymccandless.wordpress.com providing free financial education. Not behind a paywall. Free, because financial literacy should not cost money. I trade with real money using the exact strategy described in this book. My current positions: Pfizer at $16,480 deployed generating $77,900 per year net. Verizon at $29,260 deployed generating $51,000 per year net. Combined: 293% annualized pace. These are my only active positions. Not cherry-picked.
