Opinion California on fire

So then who is at fault for burning down Los Angeles? Climate Change? Aliens? Sponge Bob?

California got millions of dollars to fight fires and basic fire fighter stuff like having water Is not there. I am not a professional fire fighter by trade, but realize that having water in a dry climate might be a good idea. So if the money is not going to gay choir practice, where is the money going to? Because literally nothing was done. Canada and Mexico are doing more.

The fact is, every penny of that budget was wasted because California has no resources to fight these fires. Maybe you are right, only a little bit of the budget wad wasted on gay choir practice, but the entire surplus was wasted. This shows you that DEI candidates might fit well into Disney, but not the real world.

lol... you can't argue with lefties. If they're know they're wrong... there's two cards they play and jam their head in the sand

It's either
- Racism
- Climate Change

It's amazing how Climate Change is responsible for everything... lol. Like its a recent phenomenon and humans haven't been around for 10,000 years.

I live off Galveston Bay and my house should be underwater by now.... according to Al Gore and Greta... lol

No shit... My mom was visiting for the 4th this summer and when the storm started looking like it was going to hit, I got her on a early flight out of here.

We were both driving around Seabrook/Kemah/Clear Lake... noting how many trees were overhanging power lines.

Centerpoint was supposed to be trimming these trees and keeping the lines clear. If you don't keep trees trimmed around here, mother nature will do it for you. I had a neighbor where a tree took out part of the house.

I was without power for 6 days after that storm... sucked.

I have an awesome queen palm tree that's has grown from about 15' in 2005 to almost 40' now... I've been eying it recently and debating getting it taking down. It would break my heart if i do. But I also don't want it taking out my house or a neighbor's house.

those palms are massive fire hazards

here's a very interesting story:

elderly couple protect their property, however, it was a gigantic place to protect and only two people. One of the sides was naturally protected by oak trees planted by the owner. They have experience in this matter, stretching back to 78' fires, they knew what was going on and have prep work. It turns out that oak trees retain a lot of water while alive, and dont easily catch on fire, and indeed, it was the oak trees that kept their hillside safe. the video dedicated a whole 2 seconds on the oak trees, but very interesting tidbit on future prevention measures using brains and knowledge.

Well then, fuck Newsome. Why didn't he go back in time when the fires started and plant a bunch of oak trees 40 years ago? What a fucking asshole. He should be in prison.

lol... Dude. We have palm trees everywhere.

Do you even know how much rain we get a year in Houston? Fire isn't much of an issue here. Yes, it happens but to call palm trees a massive fire hazard here in Houston is hyperbole. We're not California where Houston can get more rain in a day than Los Angeles gets all year.

I mean... good luck climbing my palm tree to get set it on fire I guess. Not sure else it would catch on fire.

How is this clown a moderator?

Has a Harvard degree in forum moderating, an internship modding on Reddit, and 8 years experience on lipstick alley forums as chief executive moderator. Is not a DEI hire as your suggesting because of blue hair and lgbtq affiliations.
