Opinion California on fire

[avenue94]

Regardless of why it was offline... It was offline for the most devastating event in Los Angeles history

A complete government failure. They should have left the water in it, but isolated from the main system until these winds passed. Fire is a real danger with these winds.

Again, you're asking for a crystal ball here. The reservoirs aren't meant for fighting wildfires, they're for normal utilities primarily. If you to argue that the infrastructure should have been upgraded earlier, sure, but that's decisions made years and decades ago.

Dude... I work in Municipal Water projects for the my job. They have these discussions all the time during construction projects.

The people who these Government jobs have one concern about all else

"Cover your Ass"

Because when the shit hits the fan, you don't want to be in the crosshairs. And the shit has never hit the fan in the US like this. And someone's head is going to roll.

When the music stops and all the assholes try to grab a chair to sit in, one person is going to be left standing and will take the arrows.

I'm sure heads will roll. But there's a big difference between actually trying to have a constructive civic conversations on where neighborhoods should be built and what to do with ones in clear fire zones versus pointless partisan sniping, a la Trump and lots of his supporters now. They have no interest in actual solutions (cough cough climate change can't be ignored), it's only about trying to grab headlines and settle political scores.

Slowly imported third world, slowly becoming third world.

There are migrant gangs starting fires to force evacuations so they can loot houses. It is bad.

 

[SurferH2O]

WTF? So we have foreign terrorists starting fires in Los Angeles?

Also... this stupid bitch!



I want the strongest fireman I can get if I need to be pulled from a burning building. Even if I "got myself in the wrong place".

She should be fired. It's more important to her to look right than to be able to do the job. What a dumb piece of shit and ... she's a boss.

You just know none those 100+ guys they put on unpaid leave were DEI hires too lmao

Turns out you kind of need guys who actually know what they're doing, not just a bunch of new hires that were brought in to fill sex and race quotas

The cuts were far greater than they let on to.



The cut was $48M and Mayor Bass was demanding just before she left from Africa for even bigger cuts!

A whole lot of Democrats should be tossed from office. Can we simply get some competent people? I don't care if they are Democrat or Republican or Indy... just competence? That's all.

See that's what I'm saying. Many of us have been saying it. Team Biden let an invading army of military aged males into this country. No background checks. Unlimited prepaid debit cards. Vouchers to purchase vehicles. Gave them gun rights.

Now they might be mobilizing and starting their attack

My brother’s fire department from Northern California has sent a shitload of Fire Fighters and apparatus down to assist LA.

Including a massive USAR contingent, they are worried it’s gonna be like Paradise with a big death toll.

Flamethrower Man has been released on bail. Not enough evidence to charge him, according to the Daily Mail website.

Both Iran and Russia have used local criminals as proxies to carry out acts of sabotage in enemy countries. While it's unlikely to be the case here, it can't be completely ruled out.

They got Mel Gibson's home

All the righties better keep this same energy when we go after nestle for siphoning millions of gallons of water to be bottled and sold from the state

Who cares about Nestle? If they did some illegal crap to steal water out of California then they should go down for it.

 

[Cajun]

Estimated cost 20B. This is crazy stuff

 

[MWB1982]

They said something about almond farms taking all the water yesterday on some news clip I saw. I think it takes 10 gallons of water to produce 1 almond. I don't know the exact ratio.

Stupid ass LAFD Assistant Chief Kristine Larson needs to get fired asap!

 

[nonoob]

Distraction or something even worse, people question the timing. Wonder Why It's Now?
