It’s not just failure of government in California. It’s also Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and on and on. 12 more days.

That's silly. Most of these areas are exceedingly more expensive than red areas.

quote:Great analogy. But Mother Nature just popped the belt thru all those belt loops! For fricks sake, the government of California felt that it was more important to protect the Smelt, than address water shortage for human beings! Firemen are tapping dry fire hydrants! On top of that bullshite, a frick ton of people do not have home owner's insurance because the insurance companies saw the risk that the government was presenting with their shitty policy, the insurance companies asked the State to ok a rate increase, and the State said NO! So, the insurance companies pulled out after the policies came for renewal. No one would blame an insurance company for not willing to write an automobile policy on a chronic drunk driver!
I am a shitty person, but it is like spanking your kids when they are young. You do not want to do it and feel bad, but it will make your children grow up to be a better persons. We can hope this spanking from mother nature will make Californians be better people
So in synopsis, the State of California protected a fish, refused to do any forestry management in a high fire risk area, and are too stupid to understand that any company involved in risk management refuses to do business there. All because the good citizens continue to vote in leaders who say "Hold my beer" to the shitty, outgoing politicians.

These are the same Americans that wanted flyover states to suffer during covid, cheered for deaths in red areas, are home to people that endorse the 'frick your freedom' tirades from people like Arnold, wanted all red areas to have collapsed economies, ridicule red areas for being 'too poor' to have beachfront property, castigate red areas for lack of gun control, not being progressive when it comes to censorship, cheer when red areas have hurricanes or tornadoes and say they deserve it for not buying into the climate propaganda, call red areas racists for wanting secure borders and routinely chant 'blue no matter who' - and now they are getting the consequences of 'blue no matter who'.
Fires in CA are one of the most profound FAFO political consequences in the US.

Am I missing something? I don't know that they'd control burn that close to neighborhoods, even if they did the maintenance burns out there.
I could be wrong, I've just never heard of proscribed burns inside of/between population centers.

I was under the impression we had expanded our field of discussion beyond the areas impacted by the fire.

When I lived in AZ, I watched them do controlled burns in forests directly abutting residential areas.

Over-generalized nonsense. There are more Republicans, conservatives, or otherwise normal people who vote in California than there are in most of the Southeast combined.

Fair enough.
Still is ridiculous to make this into a political issue. Its no better than the internet retards who cheer shite like flooding or hurricanes in red states.
Its classless and overly simplistic.

I feel bad for the drug addict that acquires a deadly disease from their habit. I feel bad for the drunk that wraps his car around a telephone pole. But, at the same time, I am grateful if they didn't hurt anyone else, and aware that their decisions were their own. That's the point, Corky. If you support leaders who push super-shitty policies, then you reap what you sow. Malibu is gone. Pretty confident that you would be hard pressed to find a single resident that did not vote for the very leadership that pushed this tragedy on them......and will probably continue to do so.

Talked to a long time Forrster today. He said they used controlled burns and even pesticides for the underbrush as well as thinning trees. He said professionals are not really listened to in California. They only listen to "conservationists".

Trump got more than 1.1 million votes in LA County.
But regardless, you're a douchebag if you determine how you react to disasters that impact innocent people on their political preferences.

It may be uncouth while the tragedy is still ongoing I will grant you that but there is 100% a point to be made since a large part of the leftist agenda is to deemphasize competency and merit while placing an ridiculous level of emphasis on identity. This is in essence the scoreboard of politics, for better or worse.

Unlike a hurricane or a polar vortex, a wildfire like this, while not 100% avoidable, does owe much of its devastation on the very gov policies one side refuses to embrace and the other states quite clearly is necessary, or face the very fate we're seeing unfold.
It's truly unconscionable that blind adherence to a cultish political belief, or several of them all at once, magnified this disaster many times over.
And yet, they still won't learn.

Really? You know that all of these people had this mindset? And even if they did your solution is to just be as much of a POS as they were? Doesn't sound like a good tenet for success in life. It sounds like awful delusions to give you an excuse to be the shitty person you want to be.

Yes, their government is beholden to the environmental whackos. Maybe this changes how they do things going forward.
"They voted for this" is still a really moronic take.

Yeah. Someone will get raped somewhere and they'll be like "she voted for this" without knowing anything about the individual. It's a 100% moronic take.

it does kinda make it hard, considering they voted for the bullshite that led to this catastrophe! LA mayor, governor of the State, state legislature. All voted in the by the majority, and they make decisions that lead to shite like this
You’re a stupid count, this exact same rationale would then apply to the Louisiana leadership and their failure to secure the new years event from vehicles driving down streets full of people.
