Los Angeles Wildfires

[Twentyfirst]

I think Grant Cardone wants to be governor of California using this incident as a campaign slogan. Crazy how social media influencers and entertainers are just one stepping stone away of being leaders of entire populations

One of the worst things about Trump is that he gave all these social media grifters the idea of running for office. It's the ultimate grift for a grifter. It's the Oscar for grifters.

Right now Tai Lopez is sitting in his Lamborghini thinking, "Damn, why didn't I think of that!"

It's just one little section.  They'll rebuild just like with hurricanes. Yeah it's interesting because it's fires and because it's celebrities.   But outside of that it's nothing new.

Has no relevance.

It's amazing how a regular fire in California means Newsom cannot run for Pres, but Trump denying that Covid was real is of zero concern or awareness.

People have lost their minds.

People believe whatever the fuck they want.

You think this is something new.  Jesus is imaginary and yet most of the population think he's real.  

Why does this surprise you?  Because it's politics,?  That should be easier to swallow.

Newsom was actually a good candidate for President.

I know the far-left doesn't like anything about Newsom out of purity politics, but do you think that anything TYT said in this vid about Newsom are fair criticisms of him?

The California environment in its natural state is sagebrush and chaparral, and it is only imported water that maintains the non-native plants and populations.  The Santa Ana winds are also a well-known meteorological phenomenon in Southern California.  It requires proactive management of the surrounding vegetation by the government and maintainance of adquate water supplies to mitigate the risk of fires.    Thus, it is reasonable to suspect government failure in this case due to the enormous losses.   During the fire, some fire hydrants actually ran out of water.  Previously, the mayor had cut funding from the fire department budget.  It will be interesting to see if an investigation can uncover the factors or will this be handled by the citizens throwing out the inept politicians in the chain of responsibility.

Wtf is this. This is some baseless conspiracy.

Sam Harris's latest episode on the wildfires:

 

From NoteGPT:

"The blame for the inadequate response to the recent fires in Los Angeles can be attributed to a combination of factors, including poor leadership, mismanagement, and systemic failures in preparedness. Rick Caruso pointed to a lack of proactive measures from city leaders, particularly the mayor’s office, which failed to mobilize resources effectively or address the longstanding issue of brush clearance in fire-prone areas. He criticized the decision to take a major reservoir offline during peak fire season, which severely limited water availability for firefighting efforts.

Additionally, the leadership within key departments, such as the Department of Water and Power (DWP), has been called into question. Caruso highlighted that the head of DWP, who was politically appointed rather than being an experienced engineer, made critical errors in judgment that compromised the city’s response capabilities. The failure to adequately fund and staff the fire department over the years also contributed to the slow response times and ineffective firefighting efforts.

Moreover, systemic issues, such as shifting priorities towards political agendas instead of essential services like public safety, compounded the problem. Many residents felt a lack of accountability from city officials, pointing to a broader culture of ineffectiveness within the government. Ultimately, the combination of poor decision-making, political mismanagement, and inadequate infrastructure led to the tragic outcomes observed during the fires, necessitating a reevaluation of leadership and emergency preparedness strategies in Los Angeles."
