Opinion California on fire

[Scerpi]

Except the Texas cold snap wasn't a once in a lifetime occurrence, the same thing happened 10 years prior. And they did nothing to prevent it from happening again.

Omg… lol

I addressed this already above.

2021 was a massive anomaly

Apparently about a third of the firemen are prisoners, who get paid a maximum of $11.24 a day.

Same ones that officer harris kept in past their sentences?

In order to be eligible for the fire program prisoners have to be deemed physically and mentally fit, they must have eight years or less on their sentence, and they cannot have convictions like arson or sexual violence.

There’s no excuse for not being prepared for a fire of this magnitude. There is the possibility that this could be arson(domestic terrorism). That’s the sad reality of the world we live in.

The 'unpreparedness' is obviously deliberate. How the fire started idk, but you can bet your bottom dollar there have been many cases of arson since it started. They've caught several suspected arsonists.

Real journalism from CBS News... what we all knew was true, the Fire Chief confirmed it out loud.

For a public official, that should be grounds to be fired. To blatantly lie to the public, especially during time of emergency.

I was going to bring up the Texas thing for all the lefties tearing their hair out about how mean people are being about the California situation but the lefties are actually bringing it up themselves lmao.

Just zero self awareness.

Vote in a couple of chicks and the city literally burns down

Imagine what would have happened if they'd voted for one to be in charge of the entire country.

Trump wasn't the only one to dodge a bullet last year, America!

 

[Deleted member 592570]

you're categorically wrong.

That's never stopped him before.

Yhea they need for Fox News hosts to run things...that'll help

Women need to get back in the kitchen, where they belong.

At least that way they can only burn down their own house.

And which cold weather occurrence in Texas 10 years prior 2021 are you referring to too? I'm sorry, but you're also wrong.

 

[Natural Order]

Do you post shit like this when 700 texans died because of a little cold snap?

Can you fathom how stupid somebody would have to be to compare wildfires in california and a freak snow event in Texas with a straight face?

Thanks for clearing that up for us.

It's a race to see who's dumber... Karen Bass or Kamala

It's close, they're both retards. But Bass seems to be in the lead. And amazing both of these clowns were the finalists for Joe Biden's pick for VP. lol....

The Rolling Chain of Events Behind Texas Blackouts - The Texas Tribune

What happened yesterday to cause the rolling power blackouts across Texas? A chain reaction of problems involving the state's coal and gas appeared to be the cause — and wind plants were having trouble, too.

Other counties do prep work in CA, haven’t seen it in LA or any maps of it.

You basically clear out an invisible line, a dirt highway, and you keep the floor clean. This gives you a fighting chance.

It does help but it wouldn't have done much in this case with the winds being as high as they were.

This motherfucker is just now realizing "we need to elect officials that are qualified to do their job".........yeah, YA THINK?! well why the FUCK did you endorse her in the 1st place? money.

Fuck him and fuck the la times. Apology not accepted.

Can't defend her much given the results...shits on fire

Kitchens in LA burned down though

 

[SurferH2O]

No water to fight fires, and it seems deliberate planning, no way it's negligence.

I can see the giant low income housing apartments going up all over those burn zones... well, except the big Democrat donor areas.

Thanks for linking that. I'd forgotten about it as well didn't lose power. I'd like to add that though the temperature dropped down very cold in 2011 it wasn't a 4-5 day long freeze where people lost their lives. in 2011 most homes and businesses had their power back on the same day. I agree that the infrastructure here is not suited for cold weather like that, but I don't consider these two events the same or comparable. I do think the energy companies running the infrastructure are bullshit, especially after last summers category 1 storm took Houston out for nearly two weeks. turns out, the first three days, the most critical, was lost because reliant (or Centerpoint, cant remember) was arguing about the out of state workers per diem. my sister in law stayed with us for 8 days before her power was restored. this company made billions in profit and argued over a few dollars per day as opposed to getting the power back on at all costs.
